It has been a while since we last talked. If you recall we negotiated a trade deal for the LPI's acquisition of a supply of Ship Hull Panels, and we provided that with nothing more than asking a fair price with no special favours.
Today we're asking, albeit quietly, for a favour in return. Obviously this is no demand and we do not have anything to hold you to, nor do we have the interest of doing so, should you refuse bar the goodwill between us.
To be less vague, we're asking for your assistance in acquiring an advanced cloaking device from Long Island Station. Clearly, you do not operate the entire venture, or at least we don't believe so - we did not notice a large Sunbucks sign on the side during our last convoy there. We imagine however you do hold some regard with the management of the station.
As such, we ask that you lend whatever honest recommendation you may in our acquisition of such a device and our negotiation for any available reduction in price. Needless to say we're open to a private discussion on this matter given its import, and hence the high security of this channel. We look forward to your response.

Good to hear from you. It was actually a request to purchase MOX from that base of yours in Leeds, which is currently our only reason to operate in Bretonian space.
As for Long Island.. We have purchased items from the said facility in the past, and received no discounts from their originally stated solid prices. I will however, contact the relevant people and put in a good word. I certainly hope that helps.
Another option is to check the other stations that produce such equipment, for example the Doe Industries Space Port. If you have any further enquiries, feel free to contact me.
