To: Daumann Heavy Construction | EFL Oil & Machinery

[Squad]

Messieurs,

I come to you on behalf of EFL Oil & Machinery as part of our initial business efforts in Rheinland. On previous occasions, we have reached out to ALG Waste Disposal with limited success in our efforts to streamline our supply networks, decrease costs, and consider alternative raw manufacturing materials. While our pilots are by no means a common sight in your space, they have informed me that Daumann Heavy Construction is, in many respects, similar to EFL within Gallia – a dominant entity with extensive resources of its own. It would be quite an oversight if we failed to discuss whether we might cooperate in a number of matters. I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to meet with your representatives to educate myself on Daumann's operations, and EFL stands ready to provide the same hospitality to you.

We have recently learned that Rheinland controls an extensive field of raw diamonds with possible industrial uses. While we have sophisticated processes to manufacture our own synthetic diamonds, it is expensive, and the product has an inferior useful life when compared to its natural counterpart. We primarily use them in our manufacturing processes – shearing panels, lathing individual components – and as bearings set between high-impact or particularly sensitive components. While the cost of natural diamonds is slightly higher than man-made stones initially, their longer expected useful life results in a lower cost for EFL overall. If these rumors are true, I would certainly be interested in additional information on any mining operations that may exist or some direction to the proper parties in interest.

Votre dévoué serviteur,

J. Tavernier
