Subject: Transport of Deuterium

Greetings.

My name is Jeff Phelps, the CEO of AP Manufacturing.

Our company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the S/D Agency, a duly licensed and registered bounty hunter organization with deep Bretonian ties.

AP Manufacturing is a diversified heavy industrial company specialising in shipbuilding, ship breaking, station construction, modular construction, civil and military engineering, renewables and project management, and is the exclusive supplier of vessels to the Bounty Hunters' Guild.

Due to the nature of our corporate relationship with the S/D Agency and thusly the Bounty Hunters Guild, we are in a position to provide transportation of materials needed by Bretonian manufacturing corporations and shipyards that are not available in Bretonian space and that would normally not be carried in regular shipping bottoms, primarily due to insurance requirements of those carriers which we as a self-insured shipper are not subject.

As part of our mission to supply the Bounty Hunters Guild with ships and supplies, we have uncovered a need that we require your permission to fulfill, and we would be willing to pay an appropriate licensing fee for this permission if granted.

Our ships and stations that are in Bretonian space have, of course, no shortage of deuterium for operations against pirates and enemies of the Bretonian government. The S/D Agency always has and always will support Bretonian interests, especially against Kusari incursions into Bretonian space. However, in our ongoing operations in Sirius space in general, we have noted that secure deuterium stores at Deshima Station are reaching critical levels.

While it is possible to ship this product there from other Zoner bases to maintain daily operational levels of the Bounty Hunters Guild, we would prefer to open a route from the base at Gran Canaria, transshipping through Bretonian space, in order to support bounty hunter activities. In addition, due to connections that we have on Deshima Station with Kishiro Technologies, we are able to secure Optronics that Cambridge and New London need, which we would be able to bring back to Bretonia.

At this time, we have reached an agreement with the Bretonian Armed Forces whereby we will pay them an amount of 250,000 Sirius Credits FOB Deshima Station from Gran Canaria per shipload of deuterium trans-shipped through Bretonian space. We will pay a like amount per ship to the BPA, under the same terms of this agreement. If this is acceptable to the BPA, please advise me on where to remit payment.

Thank you for your cooperation, and I await your reply.

Jeff "Digger" Phelps
CEO and Secretary to the Board, AP Manufacturing
