Konnichiwa,

On behalf of the newly formed Kokuren Construction & Supply company, I am CEO Endo Yamashida. Thank you for taking the time to view this message. We at KC&S have great respect for Hogosha and I believe we share a similar set of traditional Kusari values. It is our ambition to provide base construction and supply services across Sirius, especially within Kusari.

We are now prepared to take our first contracts, but as part of our initial growing pains we find ourselves in a difficult position. With our limited start-up funding, we must make a choice of what ships to purchase for our fleet. We can expand our Construction & Supply wing for greater potential profit, or we can expand our Security wing to ensure our safety. Our CFO and Security Chief both make compelling cases, and it seems I am left to make the final decision. Which brings me to the reason for this comm: a request.

It is my sincere hope that Yamamichi-gumi would be willing to provide security services for KC&S while we grow. Of course, I am not asking this as a favor. I am certain we can come to terms on the matter of compensation, if you are interested.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Endo Yamashida
CEO, Kokuren Construction & Supply
