⇒ To: Phoenix Station Administration ⇒ RE: Business Proposal
To whom it may concern,
Good day. I am Mr Clark Kent, account manager for Bretonia Mining & Fabrications. I am contacting you today in connection to a mutual business agreement we are orchestrating with the Rhienland based company, Daumann Heavy Construction. We are implementing a deal that will see increased shipments of Aluminum imported into Bretonia as well as an increase in Gold ore leaving, and thus profiting, the Kingdom.
The reason I am contacting you is we would like to use your base as a sort of 'middle ground' as it were. Your installation in the Omega-3 system is an ideal middle point for both groups and as such could be useful as a means of importing/exporting materials and as a safe refuge for our pilots should they need it.
Of course an appropriate pricing structure would need to be put into place but we are willing to work with yourselves on that.
I look forward to your response
Yours sincerely, Clark Kent

Greetings Mr. Kent,
Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mark Logan the administrator and Co-Founder of Phoenix Base in Omega-3.
As for your proposal, I really find it very interested and beneficial to both governments and civilians of Rhienland and Bretonia.
Anyways, in order to answer you I really have two replies on your proposal and it depends on your goals and plans to decide which one is better for you...
As for my first answer, if your offer is just one man show and it is just a short term plan and you are not sure if you can keep it ongoing for the next 6 months then I'll tell you my friendly answer here is that our base is already buying and selling Gold ore and Aluminum ore and BMF has docking access so you can feel free to start selling and buying ores from the base and if DHC are interested to import/export ores then they can send us an application and we will grant them a docking access as well.
But if you are willing to make a long term contract and you like to rent storage in our base for your operations then I have some questions for you first:
1- I need to know how much free storage do you need to run both your operations? I might be able to offer you 100K free storage as start.
2- How many mining operations do you expect to do per month?
3- Do you accept to send us 100 million credits in monthly payments as a rental fees?
4- This contract and it's terms must be signed from 1ic's or 2ic's of both BMF and DHC and me as 2ic of Phoenix Base.
5- Cancellation of this contract must be within one month notice in advance.
6- Cancellation of this contract without a prior notice means a termination for this agreement and it's terms.
7- An investment of 1 Billion credits must be deposited in Phoenix base bank so we can be able to fill the base with the imported ore. (just to explain this: DHC will sell their ore to BMF so BMF must pay for it and so on BMF will sell their ore to DHC so DHC must pay fot it - As for our base we are just a 3rd party renting you a free storage and take rental fees in return so we can't pay for the imported ore from our banks)
Please feel free to share this notes with both your teams and I'll wait for your answer then.

Good Morning Mr Logan,
Firstly, thank you for your timely response. This is a very important deal for Bretonia Mining & Fabrications and indeed the Kingdom itself, as such we would like to get certain gears in motion as soon as possible.
Secondly Mr Logan, i'd like to address some points from my initial request to your station. We are not looking for a place to store the ore between our groups, rather use it as a trade. As such it would be for your station masters to set a separate import and export price for the ores, the difference being your profit.
An example of such an exchange would be:
Phoenix set aside 100,000 units of space for ore, 50K for each Aluminium and Gold
DHC sells ore to Phoenix at 6.5K per unit - Phoenix sells the ore for 7K per unit
BMF sells ore to Phoenix at 4.5K per unit - Phoenix sells the ore for 5K per unit
Phoenix base makes 500sc on every unit of ore sold. So for a 5K ship Phoenix can make 2.500.000sc every time a ship fills its hold
With that in mind i would like to make the following changes to your terms;
1- 100K free storage as start is fine
2- Operations will vary, although the ore is intended to be supplied from either companies storage bases, not straight from mining operations
3- If DHC agree to the terms then 80 million credits in monthly payments (40 million each) as a rental fees is more acceptable, considering Phoenix will also take a considerable profit from the ore
4- This contract and its terms must be signed from 1ic's or 2ic's of both BMF and DHC and me as 2ic of Phoenix Base. this term is acceptable
5- Cancellation of this contract must be within one month notice in advance. this term is acceptable
6- Cancellation of this contract without a prior notice means a termination for this agreement and its terms. this term is acceptable
7- Instead of your initial term here i propose; DHC and BMF will deposit 120,000,000sc each at the Phoenix installation. This will be in lieu of the access payment of 40,000,000 per month. So, in simpler terms, we pay your docking charges 3 months in advance, totaling 240,000,000sc.
If these terms sound acceptable to yourself then i can go ahead and contact DHC for their opinion, though i assume the terms i have set out will be acceptable
I eagerly await your reply Mr Logan
Yours sincerely, Clark Kent

Good morning Mr. Kent,
First, I'd like to thank you for your prompt respond and as I mentioned before our base is already set to buy/sell Aluminium ore at 7K/unit and buy/sell Gold ore at 5K/unit so you can feel free to haul ore to our base anytime and as for DHC they can send us an application and we will grant them a docking access as well. As for changing the importing/exporting prices of the ore I honestly don't have time to trace the shipments and change the prices so our ore prices are fixed.
I hope I informed you well and have a good day Mr. Kent.

Greetings again Mr. Kent,
No need to worry about any payments these terms are meant to be only if you are willing to rent free storage for your operations but as for now you only need a sell point in the Omegas so you can start hauling your ore to our base as agreed.
