Sir,

You may be surprised to be receiving this transmission. Do not be alarmed, your secret is still safe. I simply wish to submit an application to join your.. organisation.. Let me tell you of how this situation arose.

The existence of a Sirius-wide smuggling syndicate has long been known by both lawful and unlawful factions. After all, how else do people obtain luxuries of a.. delicate.. nature. Being a known as a person who has access to certain commodities frowned upon by the authorities myself, I was captivated to hear of a whole organisation dedicated to the task. After listening to countless rumors, some reasonable, some utterly ludicrous, it has come to my attention that this syndicate is controlled by one person, called the 'Don' by its members. Now a successful picture has never been taken of this person, although it has been confirmed that he is male. Who could avoid the lure of this syndicate surrounded by intrigue, wrapped in mystery and shrouded in secrecy.

Although the identities of a few of the lower members are known, the higher echelon has never been identified. Finally, after almost a year of investigation, I noticed something. A few of these lower members would, without fail, stop at a certain shipping company's headquarters at the same time every month. That brought the company to my interest. Why else would smugglers check in on the same schedule if not to 'report in'. From there, the search grew easier. Bribes to some corrupt clerk officials within the company brought about further information. Despite the majority of the company being squeaky clean, there were some things that did not add up. These things could not be occurring unbeknownst to the owner, a famous film producer as well. Call it a women's intuition, or whatever you will, but everything just clicked in place.

What better an identity for the head of the largest smuggling cartel in the whole of Sirius than one than one that is in plain sight? Well, once I had discovered your identity, I decided that it would be best if I joined your organisation, and inform you of the discrepancies that exist so that they may be fixed.. I am at the moment without a ship, but I have the funds necessary to purchase any that I desire, and will do so shortly..


I await your response.

(If you leave a message for L.M at any Junker base, I will be sure to receive it)
