Subject: Mining Contract Application
Dear Lord MacRae,
I am writing to present an application to fill a mining role in your recent advertisement concerning raw hydrocarbon extraction in the Manchester system. I am currently a freelance pilot in search of a corporate affiliation, and BMM is a very desirable option that I intend to pursue forthwith. Such a career choice has led me to your offer and I believe I possess the correct mindset, skills and motivation to fulfil your requirements. I also harbour a healthy appreciation for the most plump, coarse and filling Bretonian sausages; they make Rheinlands' finest pale in comparison!
In my youth I studied hydrocarbons for many years as an organic chemist, and later applied this knowledge in the employ of a small company overseeing ore processing and shipping. With the onset of hostilities in Bretonia in recent years, however, I found myself a for-hire freight pilot, however I have always considered myself an opportunist and believe I can apply my knowledge and experience to the job at hand.
I confess that currently I do not own a Hegemon class mining vessel and must apply to you for the resources to obtain one, however as per the terms of your contract this will of course be returned to you in its full credit value upon contract termination. My current licence is registered under the I.D. Alexander.Sarand
I look forward to hearing your response,
Yours sincerely,
A. Sarand.
