Dearest acquaintance, whose name shall be hallowed in these gloomy halls forevermore: greetings & good tidings

Despite a certain tendency to put letters to paper--as such is, indeed, our humble profession--the fruits of our labor here at the (pseudo-medieval) Sleeping Village are all-too-oft cast into the bottomless void with no clear recipient in mind. Thus, as a relative break from the drudgery (& for the mutual benefit of Friendship & Camaraderie) our ink-splattered scribes have expressed collective interest in dispatching handwritten letters--entirely personalized & unique in tone.

Given the flight limitations of our messenger ravens, we shall transfer these documents via The Post in a wax-sealed envelope. For purpose of reiteration, each handwritten letter is unique to the recipient--in order to indicate your specific wishes, respond to our "electronic message" inquiry with details, & we shall forthwith personalize as ye wish. Should ye require instead a mysterious message for the sake of Entertainment, etc., we shall confirm and ye shall receive accordingly.

Alongside a friendly message of general Good Cheer, this missive will contain the following:

- Assorted marginal doodles
- Gossip from the depths of the Village's shadowy Cabal of Acquisition
- So-called "band-camp" cipher for our current releases, including Caravan of Doom (Vol. 1)
- Additional band-camp ciphers from several of our talented friends
- One decorative Sleeping Village Records coat-of-arms (w/ adhesive on the reverse)
- The promise of steadfast allegiance, should the Marauders return

Should this arrangement be to your agreement, we shall set wax to response post-haste; and my long letter, with a brief ending, I conclude:

Yours respectfully,

The Village Administrator (& scribes, etc.)


postscriptum: Thank ye, as always, for your support most kind.
