Dear Mr. Inquisitor,
Pardon me if I struck you as particularly (and overly) enthusiastic. Old habits die hard, I'm afraid, my apologies.
In fact, a mutual trade agreement would not clearly define what we're looking for. We're simply asking for a permission for passage in Kirkwall, as well as your assistance in the transition of our operations to Gallia. If, however, you can find a way for us to benefit mutually from a trade agreement, I'm all ears.
I eagerly await your next communication.
Truly yours,
Joe
