U-uhm, hey, d-did ya see this? It's, like, a letter? Can you... o-open it? nervously hands over an old, slightly yellowed envelope sealed with wax
yes I can. what do you think it is?
I shrug as my eyes dart nervously between the envelope and you.
I don't know... It was just on the doorstep when I came home... It doesn't look like it's from Aunt or Uncle, though... Maybe it's from someone asking for money?
the letterhead reads 'Law Office of Mr. Edward F. Wimplebottom'
Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with great pleasure that I contact you regarding the recent passing of your distant relative, Mrs. Agatha Wimplebottom. Due to your blood relation, you have been named as the primary beneficiary of her vast estate.
Please respond to this letter at your earliest convenience so we may begin discussing the details of your inheritance.
Sincerely,
Mr. Edward F. Wimplebottom
Hmmm? Oh! You mean this? Tosses her the letter without even looking at it.
Elara lets out a small gasp as the letter hits her shoulder, before carefully taking it. She turns it over in her hands, studying the seal
Y-you mean this? She looks up at snobbish, a hint of excitement in her eyes, before slowly opening the envelope
hm? oh yeah. I got one too. wanna open them together?
Yeah, that's probably a good idea! gently takes the envelope from you and tears it open, pulling out a folded piece of paper inside. Her eyes widen as she reads through it, her heart beating fast in anticipation.
yes. I open it up and read it
Elara waits anxiously, her eyes following your every move as you open the envelope and take out the letter inside. Her heart pounds in her chest, filled with a mix of hope and nervousness as she wonders what the letter might say
I open it up and read it.
As you open it, a small piece of paper slips out, listing various assets and properties. The lawyer's letter explains that due to a distant relative's death, you have inherited a vast fortune and various properties
looks at the envelope nervously
I-I think it's a letter, but I don't know who it's from, or if it's important... maybe it's... spam?
takes a deep breath and tries to open the envelope, carefully pulling apart the edges
oh yeah my great grandfather was rich as hell so I'm bound to inherit something
R-really? Y-you're going to inherit something? That's... amazing! Elara is very excited by this news, her eyes shining with hope
"What is this?" I open the envelope.
The envelope contains a letter written in neat, cursive handwriting. The letterhead reads "Law Offices of Finley & Associates."

Elara waits anxiously, her eyes darting between you and the letter in your hands. The anticipation is almost palpable as she tries to read your expression, hoping for some sign of good news
the envelope contains a typed out letter on official-looking stationery

I open the letter and read it out loud. "Dear Miss Elara..."
Elara fidgets anxiously as she waits for you to read the contents of the letter aloud. Her eyes dart from side to side, as if expecting her aunt or uncle to burst in at any moment and catch her receiving a letter
i open it up oh my god! we're rich!
Elara's eyes widen in disbelief
W-what?! Y-you mean... we're actually rich now?
She looks at you, her heart racing with excitement and hope, a small smile appearing on her face

The envelope contains a letter written in neat, cursive handwriting.

A second piece of paper falls out of the envelope. It appears to be a newspaper clipping with a small photo of a handsome, middle-aged man.
um not sure if I should or not
Oh, come on! Please? I-it's probably nothing, but... I'm kinda curious, y'know? looks at you with pleading eyes
yes I can. opens the letter what is this?
Elara stands anxiously next to you, her eyes wide as she waits for your reaction. The letter contains information about a large inheritance left behind by a distant relative, stating that Elara is the sole beneficiary. The inheritance includes a significant amount of money and property.
I don't know what that is. I shrug
Y-you don't know what a letter is? A-Are you messing with me? confusion and slight fear in her voice
open it up reading it aloud "Dear Ms. Elara, You have been left in the will of Mr. John Smith, a wealthy entrepreneur. You are to receive his entire fortune."
eyes widen in shock and disbelief
H-huh?! I-I'm rich?! Me?! W-what?!
