Sehr geehrte, damen und herren,

Today, i am reaching out to you on quite a sensitive matter. I seek enlisting myself to the ranks of Forlorn Hope, however, none of the ways described worked for me: your personnel seems to be quite a slippery meat to catch up with, and doing all the paperwork i am supposed to is just not my thing, however, the interest in joining is still formidable.
If there is still something that requires clarification, or you wish to evaluate my performance in simulation - i am ready to provide you all the required information, unless it involves overwhelming bureucracy and paperwork.

I will be looking forward to your response.

~"Null Zwei."

Good day, evening or morning (pick the one that suits you best), Ow-Two,

I am Carmen Summers, Nick Stenn (the one and only Knight Commander)'s official part time secretary. Stenn is quite conveniently currently unavailable to reply to your most urgent message but has appointed me to address your 'formidable' inquiry and rest assured I am very capable and happy to do so, really! While your enthusiasm to join our ranks is quite admirable I'm afraid we see a few issues in your application and personal ethics.

Firstly as much as we all hate it, being a mercenary comes with what you have described as 'overwhelming bureaucracy', especially when dealing with Liberty's pen pushers. The sole fact you're unwilling to fill in the recruitment forms means we can not be certain you would be up to the task of filling the necessary forms that differentiate "assault and destruction of private property by unlawful acts of vigilantism" from "bounty hunting". Everyone can be a crazy bastard with a gun, only those with patience to fill in paperwork get to be bounty hunters which we consider ourselves to be!

Secondly the fact that our pilot proved to be too slippery for you to catch means you might not have what it takes to be a good tracker, another essential part of being a good professional, now that the market has been saturated and criminals have become less present than the good ol' days. Perhaps it would be more worthwhile for you to specialize in another profession, if you do not mind my suggestion - I've heard Kruger Mineralien is hiring freight pilots.

If you have any other questions do not hesitate to contact us again as I'll make sure to keep my eyes and ears on this channel in the following days.
