I am writing to you in order to offer you a period of paid employment.
It is my desire that my two eldest children Prince Chun (Aged 17), Princess Wenjun (Aged 14) receive an education that equips them to help lead our homeland into the 21st Century. To do that I wish them to be educated not just in subjects vital to those in leadership but in ideas beyond the traditions of Lijiang. I wish for them to embrace the concept of traditional Lijiang wisdom. We have an old saying that to be truly considered learned a person must travel 100miles from home, read 100 books and have conversations with over 100 people. While this saying is possibly 2000 or so years old the message behind it is clear, to be educated you must be exposed to wisdom, other cultures and people. With this in mind I wish to establish for them a series of tutors who are well respected in their fields to ensure this world class educational experience takes place. I am therefore offering you a contract to tutor my children for the next 12 weeks.
Should you be willing to accept the invitation you will be paid a generous salary and provided with more than comfortable accommodation for you and any family you wish to come with you. This will be within the Imperial Palace complex or the Golden Enclave depending on your preference. We will provide you with your own vehicle and driver, all meals and extensive leisure time. You will be expected to deliver one hour of teaching per child per day six days a week as well as setting them private study work. At the end of the contract we have set aside a further 4 weeks in which we shall provide accommodation within the Empire for you and your family to spend recreational and leisure time. Naturally all expenses in travel to and from the Empire will be covered.
It is our hope that you will accept this contract as we believe your contribution to the childrens education will be life changing. Should you wish to discuss this offer or its terms we would be more than happy to discuss them with you.
Best Regards
Dragon-Emperor Tielin II
