I'm Kapitan Busch of the ship "KaninchenExpress". Myself and my partner Kapitan Laconia of the "Ziege" have started a small shipping company, Volksfracht. At the moment our whole operation only consists of three ships, but we're hoping to expand this in the future.
A lot of our business involves the export and import of goods across Rheinland's borders with the neighboring houses. So, that brings me to our reason for contacting you. We don't have any serious concerns about security within Rheinland, but such a small organisation is probably seen as a "soft target" by foreign criminals on their home turf. Let's just say, the name "Volksfracht" doesn't exactly make a pirate think twice in the way that, erm... "Republican Shipping" does!
We've heard about your organisation's work, and it'd be nice to know what sort of security you are able to provide outside of Rheinland. Some of our main business involves transporting Rheinbier and Cigars into Liberty, usually followed up by a trip to Bretonia. Do you have escort and security services that we might be able to take advantage of for these journeys?
It would make us feel a lot safer knowing some of Rheinland's most capable and patriotic pilots are watchin' our backs when we're so far away from home!
Anyway, I'll look forward to hearing back from you.

Guten Tag.
I'm Mauser, one of the Valkyries.
I'll be honest, none of us heard of your enterprise so far, but we're all for startups.
Anyone who creates value for Rheinland has our backing. For the right price.
We're more like.... assassins than escort pilots though.
We helped some larger corporations bag the leaders of their competitors, as well as thugs and terrorists threatening their supply lines. We can offer you the same service.
We also target shipping. Samura, Gateway, Synth Foods. Any foreign freighter is fair game.
Sure we take escorts, but we truly shine at contract killing and sabotage. Just tell us whom you want out of business.
Name the cash you offer and we'll sit down to talk.
I'm not surprised you haven't heard of us, the company only formed a week ago and, like I say, still only the three ships, so doubt we'll be making big ripples in the Rheinland pond anytime soon. Still, I'd hope you'll see us running the lanes soon.
Got to admit, I didn't reckon you boys would be overly keen on running escort duties. Me? I like to lay back with a Holstein Cigar and a cup of coffee, and just watch the trade lanes float by... shame it's so damn hard to get hold of any decent beans, always that Sunbucks swill, eh?
Ahem, sorry, anyway, I see you lot are more for a bit of action. Can't help much with that right now, but if anythin' I think will interest you comes up I'll get right in touch.
I didn't miss that part of your original reply, and I'm sure we'll have some escort missions of high enough value to pique your interest in the next few days.
I'll have a word with Kapitan Laconia and when we've got something arranged we'll let you know. Whatever the contract, I'll look forward to working with you and your men in the very near future Herr Mauser!
