Comm ID: Andrew Maloney - Divisional Director of Trade, Bowex
To: The honourable James Ralston

Why good afternoon old chap! I've been following this Charter extremely closely indeed, having helped write it with the aid of some legal desk-monkeys!

Now, I fully understand the reasoning of your requests, after all, righteous War on those Kusari noodle-munchers won't pay for itself, eh? I'll personally use my position on the Board of Directors to try and win over the share holders to your redraft, or at the very least pacify them. A jolly good thing most of them rather nice fellows are patriots I suppose!

While a sum of one million Credits to every forty we earned would indeed eat into Bowex profits, the wealth and welfare of our great nation should, and always will come for-most over the prosperity of Bowex.

I'll have the legal book-worms have a look at editing our previous Charter draft, and have the right honourable William Burke, Director of Operations look over the new changes. He's a rather patriotic man, Queen and Country and all, so I'm sure he'll agree! Oh. James, the intern from Planet Cambridge has already finished the changes! Jolly good show old bean!

Well, here are the sections regarding the latest changing, and an amendment log to be added to the end of the Charter proper. Jolly good show!

Cheerio!
