Re: Trade Alliance
Konnichiwa Samura Sans!
I believe this is the first communique you may have received officially from a Bretonian Corporation.
I would like to introduce myself, I am Bruno Gehard CEO of Gateway Shipping Inc. Bretonia's most entrepreneurial faculty. Past events between our two houses have been somewhat upsetting and Bretonia lost much from the ensuing wars that followed however, Gateway prides itself in maintaining a neutral stance during the conflict believing strongly that all wars are wrong and bloodshed is not the way to solve any problems.
Gateway has always sought to keep strong ties with its Kusari Counterparts and Kusari Customs are some of the most exquisite in all of Sirius. Especially those of honour and integrity, things we try to maintain in Gateway itself.
Of course, economies thrive on trade and cultural interactions for we can only succeed if we understand eachother.
Anyway, as Samura itself is the pride of Kusari Shipping we would like to further enhance our standing with your good people through the formation of a new trade alliance between our groups. I know that other groups like the Bowex and BMM minions are banned from Kusari Space and Kusari Corporations themselves are not very welcome in Bretonia.
However you could still have influence there through us and benefit financially from that position over other rivals you may have in Kusari that are not so well connected in Bretonia! Both Bretonia and Kusari are rich in natural resources, the Ore of Gold is valued greatly by your contemporaries as is Helium-3 by ours.
Our current position at this minute is that we are currently constructing a NEW Shipping Platform in Independent Worlds to compliment that of Kensington which is in New London and already running at full capacity.
Two materials manufactured in abundance within Kusari are urgently required by Gateway to continue construction, we require:
50,000 Units of Optronic Components 25,000 Long Chain Polymers
As a token of good will we are prepared to pay yourselves a premium price for the delivery of these materials.
If you will accept this trade offer, I can assure you the rewards and bounties will be endless for us both.
I eagerly await your reply, Bruno Gehard signing off.....
Indeed, Samura and Bretonia have not had much business association in recent years after many years spent as trade partners. While some may wish to continue as is, our executives generally feel that increased connections may benefit everyone.
We believe we are willing to accept your offer though we wish to know exactly how much you are offering for these shipments?
In addition, we believe that it would be a good economic choice to switch your operations to use premium Samura brand H-Fuel as it is the best in the galaxy. That is a discussion for another day, of course, but if we make the polymer and optronics shipments, I will ensure that our employees bring you several brochures and give you the contact of our prime H-Fuel Sales Associate!

I am most pleased to hear from Samura and their interest to explore these endless corridors of wealth that could await us is most exciting. But first to the request at hand, updates from our stock department suggest we only require the 50,000 Units of Optronic Components from Kusari Space and a price of 2,500 per unit has been suggested by the Gateway Board of Executives.
What do you think to this as a price?, remember we are more than happy to open up to negotiations if it would please your great Kusari Steeds further!
Back now to the Corridors of Wealth I spoke of earlier, as you know Bretonia is rich in natural resources most notably that of Gold Ore which has fueled our profit margins nicely over the coming months. Mining Contracts with the IMG ensure the smooth flow of goods at prices BMM cant compete with!
I know also that access to this resource for your good Kusari graces is somewhat hard with past relations being as they are, so to put an end to this and to ensure further enhanced revenue streams for Gateway Shipping and her partners. It has been decided that our new shipping platform will be an open trade hub selling Gold Ore to her partners at very competitive prices.
This means that Samura will legally be allowed to purchase Gold Ore and then ship it home to Kusari where I know it sells for a high price, of which I'm sure will put all your rivals on the backfoot. As Samura will be the only Kusari Company to have access to this precious commodity.

Greetings Director Takahashi.
I apologize for my apparent impatience, but I was wondering if you were planning to accept our offer and begin shipments of Optronics to our station anytime soon?
I'm trying to ensure that business continues to flow smoothly, and delays can cause kinks in the system. Time is money, sir, as you well know.
If, for whatever reason, you find yourself unable or unwilling to accept our request, I must get things rolling to either find a new bidder, or begin shipping the goods ourselves.
From one shipping director to another, I'm sure you understand my situation.
Thank you, sir!
Miles Stuart
Director of Shipping
Gateway Shipping inc.
Due to an increase in internal shipping, and other miscellaneous factors, the Samuran Board of Directors had still not made a decision at the time of the contract cancellation. Samura is of course still interested in working with you, but we would prefer a little more planning and forethought before we are rushed into a decision to supply. Especially with our reputation at stake.
With bigger, superior businesses, things take time but do not mistake our delays for dislike, we're still quite interested in working with the Admirable Gateway. You'd be better off with us than any other shipping company, we're the only trustworthy one.
Until next time,
Kaido Marahu - Director of Personnel and R&D. Samura Heavy Industries.
