Marlon Boileau,

• Greetings travellers from distance spaces,
  
  Today your shipment to Pittsburgh was indeed intercepted by a high ranking DSE official. We have recently had troubles with some of your countrymen making a tom-foolery out of us, so strict custom security have been implemented to reduce the illegal import of exotic tobacco.
  
  As it is well recognised, tobacco is a most unhealthy and potentially deadly habit partaken by a small minority of our work force. I have recently discovered a new shipment of Gallic tobacco imported onto my planet, and I need to understand where this is coming from. The Gallic Mining Services left a bad impression with our last meet, and I am starting to suspect they are smuggling tobacco upon our planet. I want nothing more than a content work force, and so am prepared to make a compromise.
  
  Once my investigations into the smuggling of tobacco are solved, and I can clear your organization from fault, I am prepared to take a step back, and see about a controlled supply of Gallic tobacco delivered to us by your firm.
  
  There will be no tax, but a significant contribution to our Health Care system on a monthly basis to cover insurance for miners who smoke tobacco on my planet. Happy workers are hard workers, how ever we will not foot the health care bill solely for indulgences. Our current monthly Health Care costs range between 40 million to 50 million per month with out the smokers cover. If we were to incorporate that also, Health Care costs per month increase to 70 million, to almost 90 million. It is here I ask that a contribution of 20 million per month, covers the amount the projected bill will equate to.
  
  We can provide assistance to your vessels within Liberty inner house systems, and your staff have free accomodation upon Pennsylvania Travellers Hotel, Section 4C, Pittsburgh Spaceport on Planet Pittsburgh.
  
  If this is satisfactory, and you are removed from the suspected smugglers list, then I will be prepared to set a contract like this up.
  

Best Regards,

John Doe
