I’m sorry to write to you under such unfortunate circumstances. I am not well, I believe I will likely die soon. I am sorry, so sorry, that we have not had more time. Your mother tells me you will be granted time to visit me in Azkaban. We must discuss your circumstances. There are certain steps– things you need to be aware of before you seal the bond. Please, visit me, Draco. I understand if you do not wish to, but for your sake, visit. It is essential that I explain to you what comes next.
