To: Xavier, Charles
Subject: Circumstances and Opportunities
Dear Sir:
I hope that this letter finds you and your students in good health. I am writing to tell you that things are going very, very poorly in Morocco on the subject of mutant rights. It would seem that my activist efforts, both aboveboard and clandestine, have angered enough important people to warrant my expulsion from the country.
I have become persona non grata in my own country.
I know that during my last stay under your roof that you had asked me to leave. I am asking you, now, to reconsider that decision and allow me to rejoin you there. I am in the United States now, thanks to the good graces of Emma Frost. She suggested that I ask you if there was any work you might have for a man such as myself. There are many ways that I could be useful to a man such as you - I can teach, I can fight, I can bring a broader, more international perspective to the student body. I am an educated man and a believer in Allah the Merciful.
And since I know that you will mention it, I will as well. The fight that I had with your student Sarah was, in a word, idiotic. I let her goad me into acting rashly, into giving her that which she seemed to want from me. I can only beg your indulgance, and swear to you upon Allah's blessed name that there will be _no_ repeat of that incident. Although you would never ask it, I will voluntarily submit to any sort of a scan you wish to reveal my intentions. You will see that they are sincere.
I have been given temporary living space in New York City, in the Hilton hotel. Miss Frost has graciously decided to cover the expense out of her own pocket until I find employment.
I would like to arrange an interview so that, should you desire it, we can discuss the issue in more detail.
I remain your devoted servant,
Haroun
PS - If you would be so kind as to extend my good wishes to Samuel Guthrie as well, I would be eternally grateful.
