[The salutation is written larger than the rest of the letter in order to get Gumshoe's attention. The rest is written as normal.]

Detective,

I assume that you are well. I need your assistance in the near future if at all possible. My last attempt at corresponding with you didn't go as well as planned, but I have some faith that this note will find you barring the possibility of you either being incapacitated or absent from the institute altogether. There are a few items that I require and I can only hope that you can assist me in obtaining them.


Regards,

E.
