Letter!

[ Perhaps it's a bit old-fashioned, but the message arrives for Norman via mockingbird. Sealed closed by a wax mockingbird sigil, the letter is hand-written in careful cursive. ]

Dear, Mr. Osborn -

We have not spoken before, but my name is Petyr Baelish. I serve as the ambassador for Maurtia Falls. I write to you on behalf of a project I am working on within my city. Construction has already begun on rebuilding a much larger library, but I wish for this to be more than simply a bigger structure. I hope to inspire education and the spread of knowledge to the natives of Maurtia Falls as well as provide an invaluable resource to new arrivals here. But more than that, I wish to use it to pay homage to the natives who lost their lives within Maurtia Falls due to imPort related tragedies. Their names will be honored within the library itself and donations will be set up to be made to the families.

For this project to succeed, I need your help. If you are able to donate anything at all to the cause, it would be most appreciated -- whether that is books, money, or simply your time. I plan to put programs into place once the library is finished to have imPorts come in and read to the much younger generation. I believe it would be a great way to strengthen the native and imPort bond.

I thank you for your time, and I do hope to hear back from you soon.

Sincerely,
Ambassador Petyr Baelish

Ambassador Baelish,

Though I've never lived in Maurtia Falls, back when I first arrived I frequently found myself there looking for various parts. Additionally, my previous job of genealogist would often take me to the very library you're currently renovating. I know the staff there well.

Enclosed is a check for $5,000, a donation for the express purpose of renovating the library in question. If you require any volunteers either I, or someone from my company, will be glad to lend you assistance.

Additionally, OsCorp has a charity that creates STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programs for schoolchildren. If you would like to have us set up something once the renovations are complete, I can get you in contact with our coordinator.

I wish you the best of luck on your project, and I look forward to seeing the final result.

Respectfully,

Norman H.Osborn

[ Well, Normie's done a good job because Petyr can read it just fine! The reply comes back from a mockingbird again because if you have mail by bird powers, you should use those mail by bird powers! ]

Mr. Osborn,

Thank you for your generous donation and offers. I greatly appreciate that there are people like you and your company who are willing to help out a porter city even if you are not currently a resident of said city. If there is anything you need of me in return, please do not hesitate to ask.

As for your charity, I would love to hear more about your STEM programs. I had hoped to create a network of tutors in order to aid children in work they may not understand in a school setting, and it sounds as though this charity of yours greatly aligns with my ideals.

Completion should be mid-March barring any unforeseen complications. You know how this world can be. But I do look forward to working with you on this endeavor.

Sincerely,
Ambassador Baelish

Ambassador Baelish,

As I said, I am familiar with the library in question, but even if I hadn't I'm a firm believer in improving imPort-native relations and helping out our newfound home however we can.

I've enclosed in this letter several of our brochures, aimed at both parents and children, discussing the program, but the short version is that they are designed to provide after school programs for children that teach math and science is so much more than "boring" school programs. It introduces them to age-appropriate programs such as coding or robot building, and also teaches them how math is used to make cool things. A long-winded way of saying that I also believe our ideas seem to align.

I've also enclosed the business card of our coordinator, Lela Slater, who will be happy to answer any program-specific questions you might have. Of course, I'm also available if you wish to learn more from me.

I look forward to working with you as well.

Best regards,
Norman H. Osborn

[True to the letter, also enclosed in the envelope are two brochures--one aimed at adults, one aimed at children--explaining the Allan Foundation and the kinds of programs available. Additionally, there are two business cards enclosed--one of the aforementioned Lela Slater, and the other of Normie himself, with his work cell number written on the back.]
