Today I was handed this letter from an elderly man, claiming that his family had passed it down for generations — tasked with delivering this letter to me yesterday, he was a day late.
He claims his family was given this letter by a man who called himself Dr. Sir Greg Orwen, Esq. and he asked them to do him this favour.
I have transcribed it for you —

Dear Assistant,
I fear that this letter will not reach you, as the world has probably falling into all out war with the news of my disappearance. If this letter makes it too you, then the fallout is inevitable.
You must be wondering where I have gone, the sad truth is I have not disappeared to a secret rich person world where the economy is entirely based on gold-bars – I have actually become trapped back in the past. It was foolish of me to think that, seeing as though my time machine broke down the first time I tested it, that it wouldn’t breakdown if I went further back in time. I just got excited.
If, and when, my cloning program becomes functional, it will be time to implement plan ‘89845839985’ – the transferring of my wealth and knowledge to my clone. Please remember that I never consented to my memories being implanted into a robot or cyborg.
I apologies to the public, as I am sure you are all now worried that your time machines will break down in the past – but hopefully by the time you actually have functioning time machines they will have worked out whatever problem my people didn’t figure out.
Before I go, one last thing, please fire all my time travel machine engineers – without severance.
Tell Natalie that I love her.
Regards,
Dr. Sir Greg Orwen, Esq.
