Miss Alise von Ravensberg,

I must ask that you pardon my tardiness in response: I've had a bit of a situation on my hands that's taken a bit of my attention away from some of our pressing affairs.

Regardless: while I'd love to have taken your prior suggestion of past friendship at face-value, we live in a time of uncertainty my friend. These shipments have lives depending on them in most cases; interference in their routes is treated with the utmost scrutiny up sector-north. I needed to come back to my superiors with a guarantee and now that I have one, we can press on to more pleasant matters.

A number of my recon pilots and a handful of merchants on Valetta tell me that your organization has located a source of some rather interesting cargo: salvage, from military-grade vessels including in-tact weapon components and various other ends of the sort. Given Malta's position as combatants in more conflicts that I'm willing to admit at this stage, it should be obvious as to why such components would be of interest to us.

What you have is something of great value to the Maltese Nation, and our reciprocation is the Dream. We offer in return our friendship and our business- everyone profits, everyone wins, and we all go home richer and more well equipped and supplied in the end. If this is a deal your people are interested in, then I'd like to arrange for one of our transports to rendezvous with a number of yours to acquire a number of pallets of your 'salvage' preemptively. This is less for the Nacione as a whole, but specifically for Amalfi's interests, to better get a sample of what we're dealing with. At present, I'm open to suggestions for specifics on dates and location.

Our people have a prosperous future ahead of us, miss von Ravensberg. I look forward to hearing back from you.
