How has life been treating you? I hope you find yourselves well.
I have a little piece of information that may be of your interest. I'd be willing to sell it to you, for a price. I'm almost certain it is something you'd like to know about.

Dear Mister,
Whether you want to or not, I believe you will have to be a bit more specific what in detail you are talking about. Almost certainty, especially when it comes from a person I didn't have the pleasure talking to so far, is not certain enough. I won't gamble with probabilities.
Tell me more about this piece of information you are willing to hand over and we might plunge into business soon enough. For now though, I would like to inquire what your offer is revolving around before any further steps are being made.
Perhaps I was too hasty, I completely forgot to introduce myself. That being said, introductions are completely unnecessary in my line of work. Just call me Remy to save yourselves the trouble.
On to our 'business transaction'. This information is more important than you may believe as it can affect the future of one of your own. The future of Kiara Garlow. I wonder if you've realised where she is? Have you noticed that she has "taken a leave of absence"? What ever the case, you may have noticed at what I hint at. She's staying at my residence as an honoured guest, yet unless someone comes to take her away, she wont be staying in such luxury for long.
Fun thing about Kiara. She doesn't react to well to my checks on her. Its almost as if she hates needles!? Crazy, right? If its any consolation she is a grand specimen and would fetch a high amount to the right people. Might take her a while to heal her wounds, however.
I had a little idea, if you want to hear it. My organisation is rooted in Gallia, if you couldn't guess by my greetings, and we love to turn lost little souls into two things. Organs or Slaves. Organs sell so so well as people always need more. Slavery gets people left in some pretty unsavoury situations. This one time I sold this guy as a slave and he was returned to me a week later, but in bits. That was a fun time.
There is one thing I want and aim for: Money. Credits. If you think you're able to provide this, you might spare the pretty girl some rather traumatic or fatal experiences.
I look forward to seeing what you think of my business proposal.

Apologies for stating it so bluntly, but it appears to me you are quite ignorant enough to believe you can betray us into coming to a precipitate decision by telling stories of despicable brutality. Please remember you are talking to mercenaries here, mercenaries who have no objection against brutality. If I were you, I would spare my breath about needles, slavery and organ trade, as such attempts to bias our decisions will be in total vain.
Now that this is being said, let us move to the matter again. There is no reason to rush the fence. You are seemingly well aware that you can earn much more money through a ransom demand for Miss Garlow than through selling her off to Malta or dismembering her into little pieces and doing the same thing afterwards. Therefore, we can afford doing this transaction step by step.
This is how things will proceed from now on. You will make a proposal how much money you wish to receive for Miss Garlow, and we will evaluate the sum. Better make it a reasonable demand; you don't want to lose precious money after all, do you? Be too greedy, and we will have no objections against you doing whatever you wish with Miss Garlow.
I was wondering how long you'd take to respond. You seem like an amusing bunch. Mademoiselle Garlow has surely been a fun guest, I hope you are just as entertaining. Why don't we start by seeing how much the little girl actually means to you?
You will be wiring 350,000,000 of your sirian credits to FB|BS-Tramontane. I mean, Nox is all well and good but I've got so much more to try here. The boys downstairs are also really anxious to get a chance to 'see what she'll be addicted to'. Would be a shame if that happened wouldn't it?
You have 72 hours.
Don't keep me waiting. I have some fun projects that will be just that much easier with your money, you get me?

I must admit I amused myself while reading through your words. You have really squandered yourself as a person by not choosing a career as a comedian, since you have the marvellous endowment of making people laugh.
After all, it appears to me you are slightly overestimating the value Miss Garlow has for our organization. The amount of information she had about our organization were meager, thus she won't be able to chirp even if she wanted to. 350 million Credits is far beyond the limit we would be unreluctant to pay to get her out of your little fingers.
Try again, and make it more reasonable this time. Much profit would slip through your fingers otherwise, believe me.
I think this is the first time you've ever found yourself in a situation like this. Take a little tip with you, in case this ever happens again. You don't get to make any demands and it's wise not to taunt the person who has your friend, you don't want to find out what it takes to run their patience dry. Do you? Just the other day, she kept talking about a woman with purple hair, with great agony on her voice. I hope whoever that is won't miss poor Kiara if something happens to her.
As I said last time, you were supposed to have given me my money by now. Your lack of cooperation has already worsened her situation, I'm not really looking to find out how much she can take, and damaging your goods is usually bad for business. Try not to make it worse.
I'll tell you something, since I am in a great mood today and your friend has been such a fun guest to have around, I'll forget that you are taking this long to start cooperating. Now, I advise you to hurry up and try not to lower the price any further. Despite how entertaining mademoiselle Garlow can be, I am bound to get bored at some point...
You've been silent for far too long, Sirians. I'm starting to get impatient. I have some hospital bills to pay for my family, and your money would surely make paying them into an easier task. If for some reason I'm not able to pay these expenses, I may be forced to use Kiara to pay for those bills! You wouldn't want that, would you?
Perphaps you've forgotten what's at stake here. I think I'll be sending you some photos, separately, today. Maybe that will remind you what you're gambling with when you keep me waiting.
We must excuse ourselves for the prolonged silence between you and us, but I am sure you will understand that a decision of such magnitude takes its time, especially if you want that decision to be as prudent as possible. In no way were we trying to deliberately keep you on the tenterhooks, as it was just a mere by-product of our cautiousness.
Enough of the claptrap though. We have come to a decision: your offer is not as bad as we have thought first, and began to see reason. A human life can never cost too much.
Please have a look into the attachment section. We hope this payment will suffice for you.
