Bonsoir, esteemed Cretans,

My name is Hector Balzac, Sub-Director of Orbital Spa and Cruise.
Madame Cross kindly passed along your contact after the recent events we’ve both been involved in.

Once again, we find ourselves knocking on your door, and strangely, we require your assistance.
Upon my arrival at our orbiting resort in New Paris, the Riviera, I was approached in my quarters by the quartermaster. He uttered one of the most dreaded phrases within our company, second only to "labor unrest": "the alcohol is running out." To my horror, upon inspecting the warehouses with him, I realized that by "running out," he didn’t just mean the restaurant supply, but our reserves—especially the Rhum ones.

We are unsure how this could have happened; perhaps the late summer festivities contributed to this sudden alcoholic drought. But the bottom line is, we have one week’s worth of Rhum left before we’re completely dry.

We’ve ordered a small batch of Yuma "spirits" as an emergency reserve for next weekend, but I refuse to serve that trash except to our most intoxicated clients, incapable of discerning disinfectant alcohol from proper Rhum within their glasses.
We need good Rhum. We need yours. We need tons of it. Specifically:

• 2500 barrels of young white agricole Rhum for cocktails
  
• 1500 barrels of medium-aged dark agricole Rhum for cocktails
  
• 500 barrels of long-aged white agricole Rhum, preferably aged in kusari whisky barrels
  
• 400 barrels of long-aged dark agricole Rhum, preferably aged in libertonian bourbon barrels
  
• 70 barrels of XO dark agricole Rhum
  
• 30 barrels of VSOP dark agricole Rhum

We can collect it directly from you on Crete or you can ship it to Hawaii—whichever works for you—as long as it arrives by Saturday. Let us know your price, or suggest what we can send in return to fill the holds of your cargo ships on the return trip. Medicines, other alcohol, water and food—we’ll make it worth your while.

Please assist us. Do not allow our clients to consume that molasses-based sludge from Yuma. It is a matter of class and good taste.

Respectfully
Hector Balzac
