HIGHLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
Mr Bagman.
Last September, my brother and I wrote to you concerning your debt to us of 74 Galleons, 30 Sickles and 6 Knuts. Eight months and a whole lot of unanswered owls later, you've done sod-all to make us think you have any real intention of repaying it. We are, by this point, understandably displeased.
But not as displeased as we expect YOU will be, should your bosses at the Ministry somehow find out the full extent of your sordid financial affairs. In fact, we can’t imagine that THEY'LL be well chuffed either when they hear the news about your little ‘habit’. Or when they're told the stories about your frequent absences from work, your goblin friends, and your numerous outstanding debts. MERLIN knows just how upset they might get if someone brings up the topic of embezzlement.
This really is sensitive information we’re sitting on, isn't it? If it were leaked to the press and the public found out, there'd be uproar. Scandal. Your position and reputation could be in serious jeopardy. All things considered, my brother and I are in a serious dilemma about whether to keep quiet or not. Tricky decision, that.
Perhaps you can help us make up our minds?
Yours most sincerely,
Fred Weasley, also on behalf of G
