Guten tag, meine Damen und Herren.

As my boss and good friend Herr Linhardt likes to say, I'll get straight to the point. Sigma-21 lays right next door to our current headquarters facility, and possesses an abundant amount of unenriched uranium deposits. As I'm sure you know well, this material has a number of industrial uses, and ourselves and our colleagues at ALG are the foremost experts in refining it for those uses. As it so happens, our mining department assures me that we are also among the foremost experts at extracting it, along with Kishiro Technologies, but be that as it may.

As we do not wish to repeat the... misunderstanding... which occurred a week prior, we would like to secure a permit or a contract for the acquisition of the raw material from the Da Nang field. Now, if it were up to me, I'd be glad to pay the Guild a premium when purchasing from the uranium stockpile at the Mekong depot. However, it seems that the depot is rarely filled, for reasons I will not presume to get into. Therefore, I believe we can come to an understanding beneficial to us both.

I have three suggestions you may find of interest:

• First, I'm assured that the efficiency of our mining crews allows for the stockpiling of equal amounts of uranium at Mekong as those we would ship away for refinement. Indeed, if you are not satisfied with an even split, I believe a different percentage is open for negotiation.
  
• Second, if you have your own subcontractors to employ, we would be glad to pay a premium for each unit of material used to fill the holds of our transports. Again, exact details of such an arrangement are open to negotiation.
  
• Lastly, we are also open to leasing warehouse space on Mekong, to ensure its continued smooth operation. Naturally, such an arrangement would require the fulfillment of certain material quotas from your miners, so that we are able to fulfill external contracts within a reasonable amount of time.
  

If any of these options seem intriguing, please do not hesitate to open negotiations by quoting specific deal parameters. Our transportation and mining direktors will be available to make final decisions on such deals.

I will say one thing, coming from me personally. This is an excellent opportunity for both of our companies. But we have other investments which will serve to maintain our growing corporation. Unlike our colleagues at ALG, we will not presume to employ force if an agreement is unable to be reached - we will simply look elsewhere. But I hope we won't have to.
