Dear Mr. Glass,
I regret to inform you that the Ministry of Love has denied your request. Swashbuckling is now considered illegal in over thirty countries, and I suggest you and your comrades find a new hobby such as puddle jumping or Canasta.
As a valued customer, your opinions matter greatly to us, so please don't hesitate to contact me via telegram if you have any comments or concerns. I hope you enjoy the remainder of the summer holidays.
Yours,
Calgary Bow
Executive Assistant to the Vice Minister.
