Good day sirs/madams,

I'm Frank Bartholomew Earnest, a Pennsylvania native born and bred. Myself and my family of seven are looking for a job, and saw your offer advertised on the neural net. We wish to apply for the right to mine on a Hegemon vessel as a family, alongside our cousins and their relatives from Erie and around the system.

In total, all our extended families number around six hundred people, and we're all available for Bristol work on Hegemons provided by your organisation, and we may be able to recruit additional crew from trusted local friends.

As the Earnest clan's representative, I assure Bristol Constructions that we're hard-working and industrious folk, yet the dire times this system is in have brought much grief to us, putting us out of job, starving in idleness.

Please let us crew your mining ships so that we all benefit!

Earnest Regards,
Frank Earnest
