Subject: Personal endeavors Sender: Abel Deacon Origin: Elcano Manufacturing Complex, Magellan System Encryption: Delta-Xi-Alpha-Theta Greetings, Mr. Davis. We've spoken a couple of times. Those times, I was representing New Horizon Industries. While I am and will continue to be affiliate with them, today I am speaking solely in my personal capacity. Working as a Freelancer has it's advantages. NHI businesses saw me travel all throughout Sirius. I've visited Liberty, Rheinland, Kusari and Bretonia. I've admired the Taus, got lost in the gas pockets of the Sigmas, saw the misery of the miners in Omegas. I even had unspeakably terrifying encounters in the Omicrons. Long story short, I've seen enough and I am ready to scale down my activities and focus on managing Elcano. But I am also interested in expending my own portfolio outside NHI. Hence, I've been told that DSE is publicly trading shares and this peaked my interest. Our previous talks convinced me that you are reliable, your mining operations and refined materials are top notch, the ships you manufacture are up to a very select standard. Therefore, I am interested in acquiring some shares in your company. But I am unsure about the process. So can you please guide me in what I need to do in order obtain said shares? Yours truly, Abel Deacon

Logan Davis, Owner & Manager
LOCATION: Susquehanna Station, Cortez
SUBJECT: DSE Shareholder Program

Howdy there Mr. Deacon.

I'm glad to see your interest in our program here. As you maybe know by know, I've been a long-time investor, before the company went fully public, and I've been content with the changeover. Besides the offered incentives of the program itself, I've found that the opinion of shareholders generally holds more weight than other feedback about the company, so take that as you will, eh?

I see that you've found your way into our internal information board. All that you need to do now is decide how many shares you'd like to purchase, up to a total of five available to non-employees. Each share costs 500,000 credits, which must be sent to our public account at [DSE]Bank.
You'll then be granted access to the Shareholder channel on the board, where you'll be able to see any of the currently ongoing votes. At the end of every month, you will also receive a dividend based on your share count.

If all of that sounds straightforward enough, I'm hopin' to see you on the list come next month!

Davis out.

First, farthest, fearless.

Indeed, I've seen this multiple times already: the feedback of the shareholders has priority. But my reason for wanting to expend my portfolio is different: I've seen your company at work, I enjoyed what I saw, therefore I want to invest in it. I must admit, I did not expect a company as large as yours to have a limit on the shares available to sel. At the same time, I also understand the pragmatism of the decision. As such, I am willing to purchase all five available shares. Please see the details of the transfer attached below. I'm looking forward to our fruitful collaboration moving forward!
