Greetings to you, Honoured Guildmaster.
This is Director Mark Lathop of The New Dawn Initiative. My organisation has been working under the standard, if rather loose, affiliate terms you have for a short while now, and it is my opinion that this has been a great success for us. For clarity, we have concerned ourselves primarily with the mining, processing and transportation of diamonds from the Omega-11 system, though we have a keen interest in surveying and identifying new prospects in the future.
With this said, it would be of interest for us to work more directly with the Guild as a properly recognised affiliate organisation. We have no issues adhering, in this moment, to those standards, stances and regulations expected of official members. Beyond that it is my hope that by aligning more closely with the Guild we can be of greater assistance to you, and you in turn to us in future endeavours.
If this sounds suitable then please, do not hesitate to provide any necessary documentation. Otherwise, if you have any questions I am more than happy to answer them for you.
Kind regards,
Mark Lathrop, Director of The New Dawn Initiative
It sounds like you folks have been doing some impressive work out in the Omega-11 system, especially with the diamond operations. We’ve definitely taken notice on our end.
The Guild has been concentrating its efforts on silver and platinum, leaving diamonds somewhat overlooked by the mainstream guild. I hope the locals haven't been as bothersome to you as they have been to us during the silver rush.
Let's keep our proceedings straightforward. We'll prepare the necessary documentation to officially integrate New Dawn into the Guild. It goes without saying, but I'll emphasize it nonetheless: all New Dawn members will receive full support from us. Should you ever find yourselves in need, do not hesitate to reach out. The Independent Miners Guild looks after its own, and we're eager to see what the future holds for us.
To reiterate, the Guild considers your proposal to be more than suitable. With that, please regard the New Dawn Initiative as a full member of the Independent Miners Guild.
Sincerely
Albert Schulze, Guildmaster

Greetings again, Guildmaster Schulze.
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. I had taken note of the Guild's focus and it was our honour to assist with the IMG's efforts during the silver rush. We have had some resistance from Daumann, but thankfully none of our own have been harmed and we consider ourselves armed enough to dissuade further interference from them should they act up. It is my hope that we need not trouble the Guild with such matters as that, but it is warming to know we have your support. The same is offered in return, should it be required.
I'll process what documentation is needed from our end and return it without delay. Thank you very much for accepting us, I am sure the future will be bright for all involved.
Kind regards,
Mark Lathrop, Director of The New Dawn Initiative
