Ludo Bagman:
We’re a bit scrapped for parchment, so would you please tell Verity we say hi? Every time we write to you, she replies instead, so us and her are practically best mates now.
Anyway, looking at the numerous letters we’ve received from your secretary, we’ve established the fact that the Three Broomsticks is “no good” for you. Not only is the Three Broomsticks "no good" for you, but it seems that every other pub in Scotland is "no good" for you either. you are an extremely difficult man to get hold of for a chat.
With all due respect, we don’t really see that there’s all that much to talk about. Not that the prospect of meeting you for pumpkin lattes isn't terribly thrilling, but we'd prefer to just get the money. 74 Galleons, 30 Sickles, 6 Knuts. Vault 609, Gringotts. Alright?
Look, YOU were the one who insisted that my brother and I wait to sort out these “financial matters” in person, yet you’re making sod all of an effort to actually mee You also somehow neglected to tell us that you were coming to Hogwarts today for the first task, which, in our opinion, would have been an excellent time to bloody well cough up for a meeting. We noticed you left in a hurr We do understand that you are extremely busy, but we’d really like this business resolved as soon as possible - we too have matters we’d like to attend to.
