Dear Sirs
Though I doubt that you have heard of me, I am sure you are aware of the Abolitionist Movement in Bretonia, headed by William Wilberforce. It is our aim to put an end to slavery within Sirius, and to that end we target the main slaving routes used by the Outcasts in transporting citizens from all over Sirius to the Cardamine fields in Omicron Alpha.
We are being successful, and have come under increasing levels of attack by numerous slaving groups. We also find that these same slavers are using stronger and stronger ships in order to try and survive the gauntlet they run. We currently face Slave Liners, Sabres, Falcatas, Tridente Gunships, Pirate Trains and Transports and more assorted transport vessels than you could shake a stick at.
To this end I would like to request that I be allowed to purchase one of your gunboats, which I will then refit, at my own expense, for our continued actions against these slavers. Disrupting this most wretched of trades will be of great benefit to the citizens of Sirius. Not only will we be in a position to re-unite more broken families, but the routes we target are also the primary routes used for the shipping of huge quantities of Cardamine into Liberty space. I am sure you can see the benefits to all of Sirius in any actions that can be taken to suppress the availability of Cardamine. I am aware of your hostilities with the Outcasts, and must admit to hoping that this may sway your judgement in my favour.
I have previously sent the same request to the Liberty Navy, however they are regrettably either unable, or unwilling to assist.
I look forward to your, hopefully positive, response.

Many, many thanks. I cannot express how glad I am that there are groups out there that feel as we do. Your generosity in allowing me to fly one of your Hydras will help put a large stick through the wheels of the slavers machine! You can be sure that many, many citizens will be rejoicing as they are saved from a life of slavery by one of your fine vessels.
I should be in a position to head out to Tau-44 within the next couple of days, along with my crew. I have decided to name the vessel the Reciprocal Abuse. She shall drive terror into the hearts of those Slavers, Outcasts, Junkers and Freelancers who face her.
