SENDER: Karl, from Johnny's Office RECIPIENT: Shimamori Clan SUBJECT: An investment opportunity COMM. SOFTWARE SEC.:EXTREMELY HIGH
Shimamori Clan representatives,
I bid you good day. I am Karl, third-in-command de facto, and I have been tasked by Johnny and Ezra to oversee this potential opportunity.
With the threat in Bretonia essentially null now, the Insurgency vanishing, and globally peace returning, such as the peace between Liberty and Gallia, contracts have been drying up, and we are facing a "drought". So, instead of letting our company vanishing aswell, and letting our precious fixers go back to their Freelancer ways, or worse, going back to working for intelligence agencies, we have a proposition.
We propose you to invest in Johnny's Office. Our fixers have talents, and if you invest, you'll have an independent intelligence agency ready to operate for your Clan. All we require is to maintain our independence, and our ways. We do have our own way of operating, and gathering intelligence, and it requires our independence. So all we need is to maintain our autonomy, and that we can continue to operate for other groups of interests. Obviously, we won't operate against you. It would be stupid to operate against yourself, don't you agree?
Please tell me what you think, and maybe we could convene of a meeting where we can discuss this in more detail, and if needed, Johnny and, or, Ezra, will be present as well.
I will address you by your first name since this is what is known to me so please do not take it as a manner of disrespect. I am familiar with your organisation and its business. It is intriguing, I must admit, to consider your proposal. A few years ago my Clan reorganised its paramilitary forces into a PMC. I suppose a private intelligence agency might be a great addition to our assets and enhance our capabilities in combination with the "Riptide".
I suppose, before drafting a contract a meeting is advisable indeed. Let me then kindly invite you to Honshu. We can meet either at my fief or at a place of your choosing. Proximity to my holdings is not a prerequisite but a convenience for both of us. I am quite interested in acquiring a stake in your organisation and we can discuss the details when we meet. Please, let me know when and where you would like to hold this meeting. Until then, I shall await your reply.
