George E. Rolf, CEO, DSE
LOCATION: Susquehanna Station, Cortez
SUBJECT: Mutual Refinery Advertising

Howdy there Herr Julian Müller.

It seems like we're being made partners in hauling, deliberately or no. My transportation folks tell me the best route for our Copper here is in Rheinland, and they take Aluminum back to hereabouts. Looks like the biggest producer of Aluminum in Sigma-15 is your very own Breuninger, so we'll continue buying from you as long as you're sellin'.

Now this message is just a courtesy call from one head to another. Anything I can do to smooth things along on my end, you just let me know. And I expect you to do the same in return. Like the recent hiccup with your stockpiles - that was fixed up right quick after a convoy moored at Swift's for a change, heheh.

For now, let's do a little deal - I advertise your refinery on the docks of my own, and you do the same. That way, people know just where to go with the goods. If we're all in agreement, I'll tell my people to draft something short and sweet. And feel free to send someone to our "grand opening" within the week - we'll be stocking Rheinbier, don'tcha worry.

Rolf out.

First, farthest, fearless.
