Greetings, Mr. O'Neal,

Took us a while, but through technical jargon, beaurocratic nonsense and overall witty banter from our side, we managed to acquire the ships that you requested. For the ease of transport, we've had the ships, let's say, "denominated" as shipping manifests. Protocol and standard procedure when speedy delivery is required, you'll understand.

Proof of Delivery - 10 Wasupus

As evidenced, all proceeds (namely, the 50 million Sirius Credits), should be directed to the ship named [ToP]The.Pearl

I look forward to conducting future business with you, and will await a response.

Sincerely yours,

Jonathan Cook
