Greetings gentlemen,
As you probably already know Venator Private Security’s current main area of operations is Dublin and as we strive to keep our neutrality we never engage any of your citizens, with the exception of the rare case that one of your vessels has fired upon us unprovoked.
To this date we have not interfered with the current Molly taxing policy, while annoying to miners we usually encourage them to pay their dues.
This leads me to the current proposal:
A tax exemption for any miner currently under the protection (Under an actual contract), of our employees, that would only last for the time of the contract; ergo the time we are protecting him.
Now as for the why, and the “what’s in it for you”:
Instead of collecting the money from the miners, we could donate a percentage of our income, or
transfer an agreed upon sum at an agreed upon frequency directly to the Republic’s treasury. This would allow you to redistribute the money yourselves without having to use any intermediaries and if agreeing to use the latter method of payment; would guarantee a regular source of income regardless of the activity in the asteroid fields.
As for why we would do this: we would gain an advantage over the competition and would give an incentive for miners to hire us instead of other random freelancers. Furthermore this preferential usage of our services could diminish the amount of independent freelancers or lone mercs, wildcards that do not have the same neutral policy as we do.
We are just “testing the waters” here so to speak, and are looking forward to a first response, may it be positive or negative.
Regards
The Board of Senators --- Venator Private Security.

Mr Quinn,
Thank you for responding, it's nice to see that the council is thinking about our little arrangement.
Of course we understand that if this all goes in the right direction we were going to have to put a consequent sum on the table so to speak, but we see this quickly paying for itself with the potential increase of activity.
Again this is just a first step, the council can take all the time they require to reach a decision.
