Greetings, good Mr. Manning!
I am Patrick Gloomsdale, an independent trader that specializes in personal goods. I got your contact information through a friend of mine on planet New London, Steve, who knows a few people working on King's Cross. Anyways, I've met some people from Bowex in my travels, and earlier one good Mr. Peterson proposed the idea of me setting up a little corner somewhere on your fine station King's Cross to sell my good wares for honest prices. I have a nephew, Bob Gloomsdale, who is willing to man the shop six days a week excluding mondays. I assure you, he is a good lad and wouldn't get in the way.
As I understand it, the Bowex chaps usually are busy with the big, imporant goods and you sometimes have difficulties keeping anything more than the essentials around. Also, as an independent trader I am not as restricted as to where I can travel, meaning import of rare goods would be more possible. Should you accept my offer of a shop somewhere on the station, I can offer the station crew, traders and miners the effects to light up their day. Some perfume, cigars, some nice clothes, holosculptures, good books, audio-disks and the list goes on! Every single thing I sell is personally traded for or imported from the finest production facilities, and I always have reasonable pricing for the excellent quality! I hope this goes through and you will consider my offer.

Good day to you Mr Gloomsdale, your proposal sounds most interesting and I will put it to our Station Manager while our Chief of Security, does a background check on your company.
I assume you will be requiring docking permission was well?
