Good day to you, Mr Edward

I'm responding as a representative of Borderworld Exports. As you already know, given that you contacted us, we are one of Sirius' premier shipping interests. The premier shipping interest, it might accurately be said. We would be willing to provide delivery services for the aforementioned commodities, and due to our proximity to your installation can do so within a timeframe that would frankly disgrace the other parties contacted.

In light of the above, we have calculated costings for your shopping list. We feel these are reasonable prices for the time frame in which we could have the order completed. You would be paying for punctuality and professionalism, after all. Should you wish to query our methodology in reaching these numbers, by all means feel free to contact me.

Cargo Type	Cargo Cost	Suggested Profit	Suggested Total	Route Time
Heat Sinks	$500	$1,253	$1,753	5:58
High Performance Alloy	$300	£2,037	$2,337	09:42
Hull Segments (x2 cargo space)	$500	$2,667	$3,167	06:21
Industrial Hardware	$200	$1,876	$2,076	08:56

Should you find these numbers agreeable, we can commence deliveries as soon as Palmer is briefed to accept them. I expect we would be able to have all of the relevant commodities delivered in under a week. Should the prices be adjusted, we would naturally have to revise that estimate upwards as our priorities shift.

Yours in service to the Crown

Mr Stivenson

Borderworld Exports finds those prices to be entirely reasonable, and is happy to engage in a contract with Palmer Research Station under those terms. We are more than happy to fully handle all shipments for Heat Sinks, Hull Segments, High Performance Alloys and Industrial Materials. Upon the completion of these deliveries, we will take stock and see how the situation lies in respect to the remaining goods.

Yours in service to the Crown

Dear Palmer Contracts office

As of the time writing this message, I can confirm that Borderworld Exports has completed the deliveries for all of the requested goods, save those reserved for specific parties. As ever, Bowex provides the best service money can buy. We believe this entails:

40,000 heat sinks.
40,000 hull segments (80,000 standard units).
40,000 high performance alloy.
100,000 industrial materials.

Remember, when you think commerce think Bowex.

Yours in service to the Crown

Mr Stivenson

I did say you were paying for punctuality. If you wanted to forward that whisky money to a centralised account, I am sure I'd be able to pass you on some details. I'd be sure to have it fairly distributed among the chaps.

For the nanomembranes, I would strongly recommend you contact another Bretonian interest - Planetform Incorporated. The goods are produced by them on their own station.

From what I've recently seen, I could assure you that if they agreed to take the contract you could expect professionalism and response times almost on par with Bowex's. Something to consider, no doubt?
