***** PRIVATE: Forged, Serpent
>>>>>[ My apologies for the slight delay on getting to you. I wanted
to do one last check on what the police has been able to gather on this
case.

Your job, should you choose to accept is the following: Find the
murderer who killed a certain person and figure out who hired the
wetworker. Kill the tool, and move on to the employer. I want the
employer to pay for this deed as well, and I would like to know why the
person was killed.

I will give you >>encrypted<< up front to cover initial travel and
setup expenses. For finding out why that person died, you will get
>>encrypted<<. For avenging the murder you will get >>encrypted<<
if
you only get the wetworker or >>encrypted<< if you get both the
wetworker and the employer.

Do we have a deal? ]<<<<<
