"Dear Rickson Gracie and the Gracie family,
My name is Hans Eric Bristol. I am founder of the Magician's Network Self-Defense System of street combat. Though I am not well-known in the United States, I am well-known among the martial arts community in Switzerland and other parts of Europe. I'm writing to issue a challenge to Rickson Gracie. I am not unfamiliar to no-holds-barred matches since I have enter in several of them throughout Europe. I have won two of these competitions. I do not enter these tournaments as frequently as other fighters to preserve the secrecy of my style of combat. The more an individual demonstrates his fighting secrets in public, the more the system becomes ineffective since the secrets have become exposed for others to produce ways to counter them. In regards to my system, I have tried to be as low key as possible, demonstrating it only to a limited audience.
To prove my skills, I have enclosed with this letter copies of certification of my ability throughout the years as a martial artist. I hope they will be sufficient. Enclosed is also a contract written by me, and revised and edited by my lawyer. My name is already signed on the contract. The contract describes the provisions of my match with Rickson Gracie. The match will be a private match conducted at the Gracie's own Jiujitsu academy in Torrance, California. I do not want a televised no-holds-barred match for the reasons I have stated before. I want North Americans to acknowledge the awesome efficiency of the style of M.N.S.S., but at the same time, I do not wish the expose it's secrets to the general public. However, at least one magazine reporter from such publications like "Black Belt Magazine" is allowed to be at the challenge. With your connections, I believe you can arrange to have several of them be there. However, no video cameras or any type of filming or photography is allowed at the match.
What you will get in return for granting me this challenge is monentary compensation if Rickson is the winner. In the contract, I have agreed to pay 10,500 dollars to a third party. If I do not defeat Rickson Gracie in 30 seconds or less by a knockout or a tap out, then the Gracies family is to be paid the 10,500 dollars. Keep in mind, I may beat Rickson, but if I don't defeat him in 30 seconds or less then the Gracies get the money. If I do defeat Rickson Gracie in less than 30 seconds, then nothing shall be paid to me. As you can see, there is nothing for you to lose. I have provided plenty of incentives for you to accept this challenge. Please reply promptly with a response.
Sincerely, Master Hans Eric Bristol, Founder of M.N.S.S.
