I write to you because of your well known, peerless commitment to education (and expertise in this regard, too), and invite you to become a member of the Society for the Improvement of the Outer Rim, which has recognized that in order to meaningfully improve the quality of life of the people of this desperate and disenfranchised region, a comprehensive plan for education reform, focusing on access to and funding for education, is needed. At the Society's upcoming meeting in Cormond, on Brentaal, you would without a doubt be seen as the foremost authority on this subject (as one who understands both education and the politics of it), and I'm sure that your contribution to the discussions will be included in the final, comprehensive improvement program, which, once adopted by the Society, will be presented to the Senate with broad support—assuming, that is, that the resolution I have recently proposed succeeds in securing the support of the Empire for this endeavor.

Please consider the offer, and, should you accept it, feel free to include in attendance at the upcoming meeting any other renowned educators that you feel should be heard as well.

Regards.
