I am Dr. Ron Kosher, and I represent a small group of researchers, independent but loosely affiliated with IMG. We are working on research to improve the speed of various types of ore mining by using a graviton based mining array. We have recently constructed a base called Appleton Laboratory in the Omega-3 system in Sector C3 near Freeport 1 to assist in our research.
We would like to employ your company to deliver 40,000 units of High Performance Alloy to our base. We are offering to pay 1900 s.c. per unit. We would like all of the alloy delivered by the end of the day on April 5th. If this deadline is met we will provide a 20 million credit bonus, if you miss this deadline and deliver them all by end of the day April 12th, we will provide a 10 million credit bonus. April 12th is really the last day we can wait to have them, so if you cannot meet this deadline, please let us know now.
We eagerly await your response and are looking forward to receiving the arrays. We have already cleared your ships for docking, and will maintain a minimum of 30,000 free cargo space on our station to receive incoming goods. We are expecting other shipments over the next couple of weeks, so it is possible that there will be less space, but all of the materials should be cleared away quickly.
Respectfully,

Greetings Mr. Kosher. I'm MilesStuart, current CEO of Gateway Shipping.
We are of course always interested in work for our friends in the IMG. I would point out, however, that your pricing seems a bit on the lower end of the spectrum for our services. You may or may not also be aware that High Performance Alloys are primarily manufactured by our competitor Bowex, so acquiring the amount you are requesting is not as simple a process for us as you may imagine.
That being said, we will be willing to accept your offer if you are willing to increase the payment to 2,400 credits per unit of HPA. This would help cover our own costs as well as providing us with ample profit for the job.
Thank you for your prompt response. It had slipped my mind about the issues with Bowex and High Performance Alloy. We would like to propose that you instead ship us some different commodities that we need. We need 20,000 Nanomembrane filters and 40,000 heat sinks. I would propose 2500 s.c. per unit for the filters and 1500 s.c. per unit for the heat sinks. I have a little room to negotiate here if these numbers are not acceptable. If these are acceptable, I am ready to receive them at these prices.
Respectfully,

Ahh...greetings Dr. Kosher. My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Business on New London had taken my attention, and my Director of Operations has had personal business to attend these past weeks.
We are happy to accept your request, and will begin shipping Heat Sinks immediately.

Dr. Kosher,
I'm glad to report that we have nearly completed delivery of your heat sinks. Our last shipment was on its way, and unfortunately ran into some...complications. You should expect final delivery soon. We look forward to future business with your laboratory.
Thank you for completing the contract. Since you completed it by April 12th, you are entitled to the 10 million credit bonus. Please let me know where you would like it sent.
Respectfully,
Dr. Ron Kosher
