I am contacting you now, not in my usual function as a private person, but as a member of an undercover organisation. I contact you to confer upon you a dreadful task that I would hesitate to ask of any man or woman. But as you are pure of heart, you may see the necessity that drives me to this step, and if you are of like mind as me, you will see this; not as the enormous burden placed on you, but as a great privilege.
