[Player name],
It has come to my attention you may have recently acquired a certain [item] from [location].
I'm not sure how such an object came to find itself resting there... but I've been trying to obtain one for my research.
If you still have it, or if not, find another one, I would be most appreciative if you were to bring it to me here in Markarth. I will pay handsomely.
Sincerely,
Calcelmo
