We regret to inform you of the passing of Elbert Withering, son of Edward Withering and father to many. Elbert died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 73 on the 2nd of October 2008. He will be laid to rest upon the grounds of his estate where he chose to spend the majority of his life in seclusion.
As Elbert had no living immediate family, he wished that all his relatives willing to drop their lives to stay in his estate for a full year would share equally in his earthly possessions. This letter is to inform you that you are both eligible and invited to live in his estate for that year. The commencement of the stay must be within one month of the receipt of this letter, less the offer be forfeit.
