Greetings <Visitor Name>,

WELCOME TO BRIDGEWATER! Please enjoy your stay, and I hope you won't leave until you have had fun in the taverns with the local residents. If I do meet you in the taverns, we can share a special wine made only in Bridgewater from the fruits in our beautiful orchard.

Why have you come to visit? Is it to see a friend here? Is it a stopping place for someplace else? If you plan to do some trading here in Bridgewater, you must contact our Mayor, <mayor's name>, before entering any purchase or sale orders on the Town Market of Bridgewater.

For traders, It is also required of you to follow the Mayor's direction as to quantities allowed both for purchase and sale, and also allowed pricing. If you cannot abide by this, it will be a light offense at first, and will become more serious with each repetition. We welcome lots of trading in BW, but we do not want any merchants to fall into the criminal offence of dumping.

For whatever reason that you have come, please feel very welcome here and visit again. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to reply back. I enjoy hearing and conversing with visitors, so any letters to me are welcome.

Hope to see you in the taverns,
-Name-

Article 4: Duration of this law
This law shall continue in force as a part of the Legal Corpus of The Town of Bridgewater until such time as it is removed by vote of the Town Council or the County Council.
