owl to the Sorting Hat
To the Sorting Hat:
Please convey to the Board of Governors my regrets and my resignation from the position of Potions Master at Hogwarts. Although I will continue my studies at Hogwarts, the insurmountable difficulties and demands of evil clown research have made it impossible for me to hold classes. Frankly, next to the threat posed to the world by evil clowns, the education of potions novices seems to me a task of small importance.
I have some time ago hired a teaching assistant, Dr Mohinder Suresh. He is completely conversant with the appurtenances of the job, as well as the laboratories including the potions classroom, the main laboratory, and the ancillary laboratory which we have been using for the training of Healer students. While continued remuneration of Dr Suresh will be a matter for my successor to discuss, I encourage most strongly that he should be retained in that assistantship.
Your most humble and obedient servant, et cetera,
Dr Stephen Maturin.
