Encryption: Civilian
Subject: Joint Licensing Procedures, and A Favor

Hello again, my friend. This is David Rose here again, with some important business to discuss. I apologize in advance, Chief Rogers, for the unseemly mixture of pedestrian matters and more noteworthy requests, but the following matters are of some urgency. First off, Gatz tells me we have a new applicant for our Distributor program - Sombra Hookier, callsign Sombra.Hookier.

Second, and more importantly... Detroit has an important request of the LPI. As you know, we have been very aggressively in support of our Bretonian allies in the war against the forces of fascism and oppression. Indeed, if you check our distribution records, you'll see our Licensed Distributors have brought thirteen thousand, seven hundred forty units to the Bretonian battleships on the front lines in Newcastle within the past two weeks alone, to say nothing of what our regular contractors and directly-employed shippers have done. If our two hundred plus years of loyal service to and cooperation with the forces of Liberty, private security firms, civilians across Sirius, and assorted other entities wasn't enough to prove our unshakable dedication to the well-being of Liberty and her allies, hopefully recent events remove any shadow of a doubt.

With all that being said, Detroit Munitions would like to share one of our plans with Liberty's Finest, in the hopes of full cooperation, in the name of the Republic. While we, as with every other corporation, pay export tax on our fine products, if we were given permission to export to Bretonia only without paying the normal export taxes on our product, we could supply the Bretonian Armed Forces in their fight against the Gallic Menace much more cheaply and efficiently, as we would be able to lower the final sale price without affecting our profit margins - and we already cut our Bretonian allies quite a deal, compared to sales made to civilian distributors. Obviously, this would benefit Liberty as well, and would hopefully help to turn the tide towards our favor.

While we recognize that Liberty's Finest cannot simply change the Laws of Liberty on a whim, we were hoping that you, Chief Rogers, would see the enormous potential for all related parties were this request acquiesced to by the Government, and therefore bring forth this matter to the relevant legislators with your sponsorship behind it. Furthermore, perhaps a... less formal arrangement might be reached regarding this situation, as a temporary stopgap of sorts. If you're interested in further discussion on such, I would extend a personal invitation to you to visit my office on Denver.

As always, Detroit Munitions, and I personally, greatly appreciate your time and consideration. I hope dearly we can come to an understanding regarding this.
