Cher Auguste,
would it be possible for you to sell my, I have to admit, run-down house and organize a slightly fancier one for me, let´s say a Fine House? Preferably near the Pont Neuf. I just like this bridge and to have a grand view of the Seine´ currents beneath the archs of this monumental bridge would be an inspiration for many a muscial piece to come.
I know that you now have opened this fine shoppe, I visit on a monthly basis. By the way, thank you so much for the beautiful costume last month. I think I will keep it. One does never know at what occasion it may be useful again... But before that you have worked as an advocate, with some effort as I recall. Is there a possibility for you to have this transaction done for me? Or at least to recommend a trustworthy colleague of yours?
By the way, I have enjoyed the costume party you organized in May. We should repeat it some day.
Yours Valerie
[OOC: Is there a possibility that Auguste could represent Valerie during the sale of her House and the purchase of a Fine House? It would save her a week and give him a nice bonus.]

Mme Valerie,
Gosh, how gossip / word travels! It has come to my attention that you are seeking an advocate to arrange the sale of your house. Of course Msr Balls is a man to ask but should he feel unable to take up the task perhaps you may wish to call upon my services as I find myself a man of many talents and inspired by my recent efforts upon Fr Chatten's behalf, taking representations to the very hierarchy of the church. The sale and purchase of houses will be, surely, peanuts compared to that!

My dear Valerie,
I would be more than happy to help to the degree I can. I fear that the market for houses is a bit weak at the moment, and I can probably get no more than 225 livres for your current home. That said, I can probably purchase a fine house below the normal market rate. Unfortunately, I am no longer a practicing advocate so would not be able to manage that directly for you. I would be able to refer the business to a former colleague however. And I would be willing to use a week of my time to arrange all of this. The advocate fee will be approximately 25 livres, which I also my commission. In essence, 225 in, 500 out.
If this meets with your approval, I shall put the wheels in motion.
Yours friend and admirer,
Auguste Balls, Financier
OOC: The rule is selling is pre-monthly, but buying is a weekly. Auguste spent a week of his time on this.

Cher Auguste,
thank you indeed for your efforts. But I cannot expect you to do this, since you have so many other duties, as a shop owner as well as a gifted writer of plays with a certain touch. By the way, I am looking forward to your new play, you so grandly advertised. I am sure, it will be a pleasure to watch for every visitor. And I pity everyone who misses it.
About the Fine House, I will take your advice and commission the advocate you recommend. He has already contacted me and I am convinced, he can find me a suitable house I could call home for the time to come.
With warm greetings Yours Valerie

Cher Bastian,
although I am convinced of your many talents, your true calling is to be a man of the medical arts. A man who saves many lives. A man who heals obvious and hidden wounds. A man who dedicates his life and all of his efforts to the well-being of his fellow human beings. I wouldn´t even think of distracting your attention to such profane a task as looking for a new house for me. It would be selfish and I couldn´t live with the possibility, that someone else would have to suffer because you had been an such a menial task for me. I am sure, the advocate Auguste has recommended me to will be able to do his job and help me finding a place I can call home.
May God give you a steady hand whenever needed.
With utmost respect
Yours Valerie
