Greetings, dear sir/madame,

My name is Alex. I am a member of volunteer humanitarian group called The Seraphim. Our goal is to support people of Sirius in desperate situations like natural disasters, social distress and armed conflicts. We distribute humanitarian aid, provide emergency medical help and facilitate evacuation of the most vulnerable groups of civilians.

Currently we are involved in a crisis that unfolds in the Munich system. People are leaving Planet Nuremberg in growing numbers. However, the most vulnerable groups cannot afford to pay for the trip and are effectively stuck at the planet. We plan to mitigate this by providing the refugees free transportation to more safe locations both within and outside of the Rheinland house space.

Moving a number of people in limited time frame is no easy business. You know this better than anyone else. So we need a vessel that will allow us to do the job. This is where I would like to kindly ask you for cooperation.

Not long ago I visited Norfolk shipyard, and I noticed a few old liners in the dry dock. They seem to be decommissioned and waiting for repurposing. Engineers from my crew told me that they retain only basic systems. Thus, I expect I can get some discount on the price of the liner, I'd say about 20%. That will make it affordable to our non-profit group.

Please, inform me of your decision. If you confirm the deal, I will arrive to the Norfolk in couple of days to arrange the payment and pick up the ship.

Looking forward to hear from you,
Alex Mush

Orbital Spa and Cruise is well aware of the Munich Crisis and is excited to see another group so readily offering assistance and help. As such our Humanitarian Aid department has authorized me to not only approve your liner acquisition but also offer financial assistance in the acquisition. Please forward your neural-net payment information directly to me and I'll see to all the paperwork before you arrive on Norfolk.

Regards,

Dear Mr Blackwood,

I highly appreciate your prompt response. And I can't express my gratitude for your will to cooperate for the greater good of suffering inhabitants of Nuremberg. You generous offer is really impressive and The Seraphim accepts it as a high honour. I will arrive to Norfolk today to complete the purchase and paperwork.

It is good to know that you are informed about Munich situation. Could I ask you what if you are involved in it as well and to which extent? Are you interested in discussing how we could coordinate our efforts?

With best regards,
Alex Mush

Dear Mr Blackwood,

I just wanted to inform you that the liner shows itself perfectly so far. We called it Meridian. We outfitted it with medical facility, disassembled and rewired weapon stations to power the medblock and give additional space to passengers. Me and my crew made several runs to Nuremberg and evacuated couple of thousands of refugees already. Of course, it is a drop in an ocean, but that's a start.

Again, many thanks for your assistance.

With best regards,
Alex Mush
