Fabian Montluc
Dear Mesdames et Messieurs de Guilde,
I bid you a good day. I am Fabian Montluc, Chevalier, Baron de Uxeau-de-Quillan, and CEO of Montluc Advanced Engineering. MAE is a new corporation started recently on Quillan, in Languedoc, now the territory of the Gallic Confederation, specialising in shipbuilding and equipment manufacturing. Today I reach you with a business proposal. As far as I remember, the Guild looked favourably upon Gallia and assisted us in our war versus the Kingdom of Bretonia. The Guild suffered unjust losses, namely Aland Shipyard and lost Bretonian market. I am not sure what kind of relations you have with Bretonians post-war, but I assume the wounds of the past do not heal fast. Besides, additional business never hurts, oui?
In this regard, I want to inquire if the Guild is interested in working with us. Our main points of interest from the Guild side:
supply of heavy ores for shipbuilding
supply of mining equipment for Molybdenum ore in Languedoc
access to IMG facilities for generic
In return, we can offer the following services to the Guild:
Gallic civilian ships (General civilian, IDF-licensed, and GMS-analogues)
access to MAE facilities for generic trade
supply of Gallic civilian equipment
We are also ready to discuss providing you distribution rights to our ships if you wish to sell them and gain extra profit, as well as lobby your organisation in Gallia. Cooperation between our parties looks bilaterally beneficial to us and we would be happy to discuss the terms thereof with you in details. Should you agree, we can start laying out the contract.
My name is Celestia Ludenberg, Guildmistress of the Independent Miners Guild, and i will be responding to your communication on the Guild's side.
You seem to be informed about the events of the past six months - to a degree. It is true that, despite our efforts, Aland have been lost. Admittedly, this have been the heaviest blow the Guild have suffered over the course of it's existence, so far unprecedented. However, i may also assure that, even in it's current state, The Guild is ready to enter the Gallic market; admittedly, it is not a routine case for the Guild to be approached by the House-based corporations with such equal terms.
Which only made this offer more appealing in my eyes, and you appeared as the herald of good will.
Althrough this have went through a discussion in the Board of Guildmasters - this time it was a pure formality, for most of my colleagues have already noticed this proposition, and have simply been waiting for the formal discussion to express their opinion. Without further delays i, Celestia Ludenberg, on behalf of the Independent Miners Guild, accept your proposition, Messieur.
May this be the beginning of new, beneficial business relationship between the two of us, and those we lead.
~Celestia Ludenberg.
Attachments: None.
Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war.
It is pleasure making acquaintance with you, especially under such positive circumstances! We are delighted to find a partner in the Guild and would be glad working alongside you. I suppose, that since we negotiated the general terms of cooperation, the conclusion of a formal contract is not needed. However, should you require it to regulate specific provisions of our cooperation, please do not hesitate to send us your drafts or contact us and our lawyers will do it in the best form on your behalf.
You are humbly invited to Kerguelen Fabrication Facility in Languedoc, quadrant 4F, wherein you are always welcome for trade, purchase of our ships, and other matters. We hope you can establish trade convoys there with either refined or raw materials for ship construction.
We are looking forward to the new chapter in our relations and fruitful cooperation with you in the future.
