I bow before Your wisdom and compassion in the face of mortal failing. I
have extended Your invitation to my nephew and I earnestly hope he
accepts as a way to take the first steps towards redemption in Your eyes
and in the eyes of the entire world. I intend to enter Your contest as
well, poor entrant in the lists though I may be, and I am urging
everyone in the realm to think deeply concerning the points raised and
see whether they can find it within themselves to enter in the spirit in
which You intend this competition to be held - namely the improvement of
scholarship in the realm.

Your humble servant
Razor Saerac
