Mr. Haynes,
I doubt you'll remember me, but we have crossed paths a handful of times, each of which was a short fleeting moment, and I couldn't help but notice that your cargo is occasionally... on the rarer end of the spectrum. Now before anything happens, this isn't a threat, or anything of the sort, but rather a job offer. Someone with your particular set of skills and knowledge could very well be invaluable to Forlorn Hope, and I'd like to extend an opportunity to meet and discuss potential terms of employment to you. This would of course be held in a location you find favorable, and in private, due to the potentially delicate arrangement that may be made. I hope to hear from you soon.

Oh you noticed my cargo? I'm touched!
Seriously though, I don't remember you. But seeing as you're with the Forlorn, I may indeed have met you before, and as always, credits work wonders on memory; I know some of your ladies there, for sure. Excellent company I might add.
My particular set of skills and knowledge, huh. I like the sound of that. To be fair, I do have plenty of those, and I am extremely handsome to top it off! Gotta give some credit to my pilot though. Not too much, else it gets to his head and asks for a raise again.
Anyway, since you're asking me out so nicely, I'll have to say yes, it's a date! But let's not do it in the most private of places - didn't you know that's how people get killed? I'm telling you man, you do not want to be alone with your date too far away from help; in my line of business, it's a sure way to say hello to your ship from outside the airlock. Last time I did that, the b***h almost stole my ship!
... back to business though. Barrier Gate Station, Coronado, I know a bar there. Music's loud enough and alcohol's cheap enough.
Don't forget to bring flowers. I like the blue ones.

Mr Haynes,
Excellent! I'll meet you in Coronado soon, as it would happen, I have business in the system to attend to, so this is a happy coincidence for us both. It is unfortunate that you do not remember me, but not to worry, I'll simply drag Elena along so that you recognize a friendly face. Having settled on a place to meet, there's no need for us to further discuss business in such impersonal ways, I look forward to meeting you, again, and hope this will mark the start of a long and profitable relationship for the both of us. You will of course excuse me if I'm late, blue roses are hard to find in most places.
