If you want a different class, just ask(I know all classes for 3.5).

Mordecai gets up and answers the door. He sees a pale, lanky young human messenger with a piece of mint stuck in his mouth. "Messenger," the human says in a bored, automated tone, like he's reciting something he rote-learned. "Here to deliver an urgent missive to one Nerisatra Woodsoul and companions, from Evermeet." It might just be the mint he's chewing, but the messenger has a very distinct lisp.
To the adventurers known as Mordecai Woodsoul; Nerisatra Woodsoul; Hyperion Ward; and any other companions they have at this time,
I apologize for bothering you, but I have a mission that needs to be completed, and it seems you are the most fit for the job. I fear that the locals are inadequate in such ventures. I can pay you well, I assure you. I will give you further instruction concerning the mission when you arrive, but arrive as soon as possible. I am to be found in the town of Cormanthyr, near the area of the ancient Elven city of Myth Drannor. I await your response in form of your immediate arrival.
Hyperion, who has been long awake, is already ready to go, although he didn't know about the mission. "I see," he says. "How are we to get to the land of Cormanthyr?" He picks up the envelope and a few scrolls fall out. Attached to one of them is a note, with the same handwriting as the letter itself.
I have enclosed these scrolls of teleportation. I implore you to use them to transport yourselves to Cormanthyr as quickly as possible. Using these scrolls, the transportation should be all but instantaneous. Godspeed.
