Dear Clementine Orange,
 
Your older niece seems to be doing quite well in Ponyville. Sure, she’s another stubborn Apple, but, of course, I think that can only help her in the long run. As long as she doesn’t overwork herself, or continually try to do the heavy, long tasks all alone, I think she’ll be fine.
 
Now, the latest reports I’ve been getting from Manehatten seem to indicate that your secret little criminal empire is doing remarkably well in Manehatten! Although, it wouldn’t be going anywhere without my secret support or your management skills, of course. I think we’ve really done some good for Manehatten, while providing ourselves an extra bit of bit flow as well~ However, remember what I told you, and stay away from the extra dark biz. Of course, I know you’re a classy mare, and, are probably already hard at working getting rid of those elements from the shining metropolis as we speak.
 
Though, while your business is doing rather good, I know about the competition.
 
Al Capony.
 
The stallion with a thousand secrets hidden in his closet. The only one in Manehatten with a criminal empire that could possibly rival yours’. Everyone knows that he’s up to some illegal business, but, no one can find a way to tangle him up, and send him down the river.
 
That’s the real reason I’m writing. I want you to handle this, and for good. But, I don’t want your ponies causing overly risky shoot outs, just to get a shot at him. You need to handle this quietly, without any civilian deaths. I can try to get the mayor to lighten up on your people, but, that could lead to suspicion, and the next mayor might not fear me as much as he does.
 
Get this done quickly and quietly.
 
Counting on you, 
 
Empress Daybreaker
