To the leader of the Farmer's Alliance

[Tanker]

Konnichiwa Ambassador,

Before I get into why I have contacted you, It would be unthinkable to not introduce myself.

Therefore, I am Jonathon Winchester III. While I am not Kusarian born, I have spent alot of time in Kusari. My current office is based on the Furyoku station in Okinawa. I have learned that truth in words and honor are valued very highly here. This is something that I personally adhere to.

The main reason that I am contacting you is this. The IND would like to enter into talks that could lead to an agreement between both our organisations. You probably are wondering what could a bunch of "gajinns" offer you? And what benefits are we looking for? You wouldn't be the leader of the Farmer's Alliance if you didn't think these things.

First off, We understand honor and the truth in words. It goes against everything we stand for to enter into any agreement and speak falsely.

As to what the IND would benefit from this agreement, To you, maybe almost nothing. To us, the most priceless thing available. That would be a non-agression agreement. Of course, with any stipulations that we agree on.

As to what the AFA and Kusari could benefit from this agreement. We, the IND stand available to assist with the moving of fertilisers, farm machinery, various other sundry items to help yourselves and the people in Kusari.

We would also be available to help with the moving of foodstuffs to our new friends down south. We were able to help them out in a difficult time. References are available and highly encouraged.

It has been an honor addressing you.

Sayonarra,

Jonathon Winchester III
Independent Neuralnet Division
Vice President

Konnichiwa

This is most strange to be contacted by one such as yourself. However it is not entirley unwelcomed- despite your questionable heritage. We do not hate people simply for being foreign, you must understand, it is that they are foreign and in our space.

So you wish to be safe from our ships in our space, what is needed for this?

Firstly we will we need to be sure that your presence does not have a simgle drop of negative influence on our Farmers, or on Kusari as a whole. Were we to catch you doing something againt kusari, say for example trading with Blood Dragons or those horrendous Golden things, all agreements would be terminated- along with your lives.

Secondly, we would demand that you ensure that for any operations you start or own in Kusari space, the majority of the staff are local true kusarians! We understand that the IND has great wealth, and we ask that you use your wealth to provide for the people of Kusari.

Thirdly,We are also looking for something in return, you are correct. We would like to see an increase in shipments of materials to Samura and Corasir bases, for it is Samura whom we work with most closely, and the corsairs who are our top buyers. We would also like to get our hands on more buyers for our food, we know you have contacts- use those contacts to find us a buyer! That is your challenge.

Your word that you are working towards meeting these points, will be sufficient to secure your safety from us. But, do not test our kindness.

Oh, and by the way, its pronounced "Gaijin!"

-Miyagi Ochi, AFA Leader

Konnichiwa Ambassador Ochi,

It is an honor that you have replied to us. I will do my best to answer all of your concerns and stipulations.

Firstly,To verify that we hold the people and the laws of Kusari in high regard, The IND are a signed and licensed transporter in Kusari, as per the Kusari Legal Codex document.

Second, I can assure you that any new business opportunities in Kusari would have the majority of the staffing from the local citizenry. We also have the Renzu offices, which do have a very high amount of Kusari citizens working there. Since the main office, I believe, Is in New Tokyo. Otis Jethro is the CEO of the Renzu Corporation.

Third, We have worked closely with the Corsair council of Elders and our relationship has grown immensely. I don't believe it will be an issue with supplying additional commodities to Samura as well as the main Planets in Kusari. As for additional buyers for your food, I do have an idea of one. But I would like additional time to do some research on that.

Ambassador, You have my word and on my Honor I will be true to this.

Sincerely

Jonathon Winchester III
Vice president
