My name is Joshua Ellis, a financier currently working with Conveyor Minerals Incorporated, although I do considerable work with the Yuma Co-Op and Ares Logistics as well. I'm contacting you today on behalf of Conveyor Minerals to discuss the potential of cooperative ventures within the lucrative Dublin system.
Conveyor Minerals primarily operates in space-based ice mining, as well as cooperative efforts with the IMG in processing and refining deuterium. While Dublin lies a considerable distance outside Crayter space, Conveyor Minerals nonetheless has a considerable interest in the system and its deposits, regardless of the dangers associated with them. In light of this, I would like to ascertain BMM and Bretonia's position on a cooperative venture with Conveyor Minerals to exploit gold deposits within the northeastern field of the system.
The company wants to emphasize their flexibility in this matter, especially in regards to division of materials mined. Security may be provided by either the company, BMM, the Armed Forces, or a combination of the three, which the company emphasizes is also flexible.

Mr. Ellis,
We are most pleased to see that the Crayter Republic maintains an ever-increasing interest in furthering cooperation in the mining and industrial sector. Beginning with the Lewes Treaty, the Kingdom of Bretonia and Crayter corporations have engaged in fruitful and beneficial matters as a joint force, moving forward with the shared goal of making our citizens' lives better.
The Trade and Industry Department sees no issue in allowing and/or funding such a venture by Conveyor Minerals in close cooperation with BMM to exploit the resource-rich asteroid fields found within Dublin. We also invite Conveyor Minerals to operate a regional headquarters from Planet New London, or Graves station, as the need may arise, to oversee directly the mining operations as soon as they may begin.
It is also the foremost interest of the Kingdom of Bretonia, however, that any partner of the Crown Corporations that operates in such joint ventures denounce and refuse in the strictest of sense to work hand-in-hand with organizations such as the IMG due to their unprofessional and concerning approach toward the Crown's subjects and partners, that we strictly condemn.
Should this be agreeable, we stand ready to present a document that will confirm the mining venture and forward it to the BMM representatives.
Yasmin Kaur
