You are cordially invited to enter The Maze.

Now, you may be wondering, what exactly is "The Maze?" The answer to this question is not as simple as it seems. But, I can assure you that The Maze will change you.
Whichever candidate finds their way to the center of The Maze and back to the beginning in the quickest amount of time will receive the grand prize of one million dollars.
If this is a challenge that interests you, I personally invite you to come to The Maze exactly six days from today on Sunday, May 7th at eleven o'clock in the morning. The address is on the back of this piece of parchment. and you need not worry about travel expenses, for they are all covered by me.
I hope to see you next Sunday. And as one last reminder, please refrain from bringing any guests with you.
-T.D.

I decided not to sign my full name.
I didn't want to scare anyone.
Not yet.
