Dear Sir or Madam,
this is Jack Henderson, IMG Dublin Coordinator at Hood speaking on behalf of the Independent Miners Guild. I'll get straight to the point:
The IMG| would like to request the Tau Trading License.
We understand that Bretonia has to restrict the movement of goods from/through Bretonia to Gallia in the war. The situation is not new, as the front lines in the Kusari-Bretonian War were approximately the same.
I am sure some officials might look at the request and be sceptic. So I take a preemtive stance and will explain why that license is requested and what it will (not) be used for.
Linking the disrupted IMG infrastructure: The war has torn the IMG infrastructure apart, again. The Tau holdings are isolated from the Bretonian ones and we would like to be able to move in between more freely.
Opening the trade corridor to Liberty: The IMG plans to pick up Gold production again and therefore would like to reopen the Leeds-Magellan route.
Opening a route to avoid the Omegas: The Omega-Rheinland-Sigma-Kusari route has proven to be very dangerous for our shippers. Numerous shiplosses have been reported on these routes. The IMG would at least like to have the permission to sneak through the fighting zone during a calm period.
Supporting Planet Harris: A large proportion of IMG Guildmembers are Bretonians. Many have requested permission from the Guild to supply the very isolated Planet Harris in the difficult situation. The IMG's access to resources in the Omegas would allow the IMG to move goods that are in high demand to Harris. We'd like to legalise what I assume some patriotic Bretonian Guildmembers have already done.
Bretonian Gold Ore is not going to Gallia: It may be suspected by some that this License could be abused to export Dublin Ore to Gallic markets. I can assure you, this will not happen. My offer is: Gold ore that is run via the Restriction Zone is reported to a comms channel with visual evidence of the dropoff location. The IMG wants to protect itself by that offer against potential suspicion by some elements inside Bretonia.
I hope the reasons I named are convincing. If you have any further questions about the IMG's request, my personal comms are attached.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely
Jack Henderson
IMG Dublin Coordinator
