Madame, Monsieur,

I am Baron Fabian Montluc, the head of Montluc Advanced Industries or MAE for short. It was reported to me by one of our researchers, Monsieur Giroux, that your organisation expressed the wish to reach out to MAE leadership. To that end I am contacting you in the capacity of the head of our humble organisation. I am contacting you with good will as you requested and would be interested to hear you out.

Availing the opportunity, I would like to extend my gratitude for refraining from any hostilities against my employee when an alleged member of the Maquis whom you accompanied according to the report did show the good sense and attacked our vessel. That is a good beginning for establishing contact.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Cordialment,
Baron Fabian Montluc
