Senorita,
I have no idea as to what I owe the undoubtedly dubious pleasure of your communication, but I have absolutely no intention of meeting with a treacherous, double dealing, back stabbing, under hand person such as yourself at any time in the near future.
Not to mention the fact that I have less than no idea of what on Crete we might possibly have to talk about.
Therefore, I'll bid you good day in the firm hope that whilst you are not looking your autopilot malfunctions and steers you in the generally direction of the nearest star.

Ms Silver,
I must admit to not wanting to ever keep ladies waiting however I had not realised that you considered yourself one, much less expected everyone else to consider you one.
Aside from stating the obvious, and even drawing a pretty picture of it, what do you actually want?
Stating that people shoot at Corsairs is hardly a new revelation is it? People have been shooting at Corsairs for a long time, and that is at least in part why some Corsairs have got rather good at shooting back.
As for my ability to aim straight it is well known that unless the target looks, moves and is the size of a large planet it is very likely that I will miss it. Therefore, you suggesting that I am a dreadful shot is hardly so much of an insult as it is a statement of fact.
Your assertion that you are a ruthless Mercenary following only the cash is well documented and it is at least part of the reason that I am perplexed as to why you are contacting me? I don't recall ever having requested the hiring of a Mercenary ' ruthless or otherwise, nor do I recall offering you cash or any other form of enticement.
I look forward to hearing from you again, whereupon hopefully you will actually say what you want rather than giving me a geography lesson, or telling me things that I already know.
Now if you will excuse me I need to go as there is a certain parrot that needs to be fed.

Ms Silver,
To answer your question I think I might say 'Is there the remotest likelihood that you are actually going to speak in a less opaque fashion, and tell me what you actually want in very simple plain terms?' I might subsequently go on to add 'that I wish you every success in finding work as miners on any of the stars you care to choose ' although my preference would be that you pick the really hot ones.'
You refer to a contract that I am not aware exists, let alone one that is running. Maybe I missed a memo ' I'll speak to my secretary about it?
I have no idea where the 'hub hub' is although it is apparently local. Nor do I know why the Queen's Beaver might be collecting dust. Perhaps the Queen should let the Beaver build a dam and catch some fish in a local river or something?
Aside from shooting at things from time to time I was not aware that Mercs did proper work? In fact, I was of the opinion that the entire reason the vast majority of people became gentlemen (or woman) of fortune was so that they didn't have to work too hard, too often'¦?
I hope you are enjoying your holidays in the Omegas. Feel free to not visit. I can assure you I will not be in the least bit offended.
Best regards in the hope that our next exchange will be easier to understand.

My thanks for the gift Silver, I'll ensure that it reaches someone that will be able to make full use of it.
Sine that seems to of concluded our 'business' perhaps I can now get back to some proper work. My thanks for your efforts in providing me with a momentary distraction, I must admit that for a while there I thought you were going to ask me for a job, but since you didn't ask I guess that's not what you wanted after all.
