Your Saturday starts out as normal as any other: You wake up, eat your first meal of the day, then go about your business as you usually do. Perhaps you have a hair appointment at the mall. Maybe you are spending a day with family. Or possibly you have to pick up laundry from the dry cleaners. Regardless of your plans, there is nothing out of the ordinary that is worth your comment, and so you go on with the day undisturbed.
It isn't until your return home that you notice something is different about that Saturday. As you make your way towards the door of your home, your gaze lands on a sleek black briefcase leaning against its foot, with a laminated tag hanging from its handle, sporting your name in cursive handwriting. Suspicion invades your mind and immediately you turn to look at every corner of your street/hallway/yard to see whether you can't spot the person that had left this strange parcel for you. Of course, there is no one in sight, and so you turn back to it and stare, debating on what your next move would be.
Curiosity wins, as it always does, and soon your hand is closing around the handle to heave the surprisingly light case into your abode. Placing it on your table, you proceed to take the laminated name card in your hand and examine it, finding that there is a four digit code written in small type on the bottom left-hand side, which you then enter in the lock at the top to open the mysterious case. You lift the lid, and inside you find a letter envelope (again bearing your name), a passport, a flight ticket, a key on a ring with a number, and a thick manila envelope. You decide to open the letter first:
Still reeling from shock, you read the sheet of paper that was hiding behind the letter, which contains your flight information and tells you that your journey begins two days from then. Next you pick up the passport, which you open and see, with another pang of shock, that a picture someone had taken of you only a week or even a few days ago is staring up at you from its little box. Finally, you graze past the key and the ticket, until finally your eyes fall on the manila envelope. Could there really $5,000 in there?
You pick it up and untuck the flap, and indeed there were stacks of hundreds in rubber bands tucked inside. Maybe more than a little freaked out, you replace the contents of the briefcase and do what you do when you are in thought. And so the question hovers in the silence around you;
Do you accept?

Dear (Your name),
Congratulations! You have been chosen as the choice receiver of an all expenses paid trip to the Woll Manor! Located in Sweden, this estate has been passed down from generation to generation, and as part of the Woll family's tradition, has annually selected a lucky few to stay at the luxury home for two weeks.
Enclosed you will find your passport, room key, flight ticket and information, and 5,000 American dollars in cash. Please do not lose any of these, for we will not send replacements. We hope that you will use the money to buy wardrobe and any items you might need for the trip. Be advised that there will be many events hosted in the Grand Hall, and therefore we suggest purchasing plenty of formal wear. We also propose that you buy warmer garments, such as jackets, hats, etc., as there will be plenty of opportunity to wander the grounds. Finally, do not be late for your plane. It is not a private jet, and will leave whether your are on it or not.
We hope you will accept our offer, as we very much look forward to meeting with you.
Sincerely,
Ingrid Olsson
Secretary of Woll Estate
