Subject: DHC- transports in Kusari
Guten Tag or better if I say Konnichiwa?
Our transport pilots time to time deliver some rheinland goods into Kusrai. As I got information, the things are different there than Rheinland. As I know there usually - if someone travel or trade there without any harm - needed a.... patron, unofficially of course. Winning the kindliness of these patrons easy, just need to give some... gift. My pilots reported on that area, where we usually deliver, your team is the strongest, and one of your higher ranked? member already offered how Yakuzas will not touch any of our vessel - for a normal sum.... wanted to say "gift". As I see this is a good business for us, so we already sent our "aid" into one of your bank account. We are sure our money serve good goals, because you turn this for building hospitals, orphanages and schools, or scholarships for poor but clever students. This sum contain too the price of entrance into your gaming houses for our transport crew, and a drink too for a month. If we see this sum helped for our transports, and made the routes safer, then we transfer this sum in the next month too... because Kusari need more hospital.
My name is Hideki, the person who was initiating this deal with your organization.
After stumbling into your convoys on several occasions I have come to the conclusion that the items you transport are for the benefit of the Kusari economy. I would also like to mention that the manner displayed by your pilots is one of respect, something the Yakuza highly appreciate and therefore I wish to finalize this deal between the two of us.
Please do not take us for fools though, we are well aware that sixty-million-credits is close to the amount of money that your convoy earns in a single run. But for the Yakuza, sixty-million-credits is a lot. With our newest depot-construction being compromised and now aborted we are in a very tight spot. Being greedy won't help us, but small collections from various sources will. At the same time this has led to an explosive increase in "donation activity" and as such you should not take our current economic position as a sign of weakness on that particular area.
Lastly I wish to inform you that you have succeeded in adding the extra ten-million credits on-top of the original fifty-million-credits demand. This will of course provide you with a special service that I do believe will greatly be to your benefit. For political reasons I will not disclose the content of this special service on a communications network that can be easily hacked by external parties. Instead, if you haven't already been informed of this special service, I will provide you with the details on more secure communications.
I hope the wind is on your side and that the skies remain free on your journeys to come.
