From: Jeff Phelps, Chief Executive Officer, AP Manufacturing
Sirs -
During this time of transition for your company, we at APM want the management and staff at Gateway to know that we have only the best wishes for your continued success in the field of interstellar transport.
We also have no desire, unlike certain other companies, to engage in a hostile takeover of your company during a period of reorganization.
Given the economics involved, and of the course the need for your company to fulfill its delivery contracts regardless of circumstances, APM has a proposal for you. As you know, we have a dedicated fleet of transports for carrying our own materials. As you also know, ships that are moving from point A to point B will have necessary running costs regardless of whether they have cargo loaded or not.
I propose that on certain of your cargo routes where your pick-up points coincide with our delivery points, and where we normally do not transship any cargo, that you allow us to sub-contract for delivery of any cargo that you would normally have to deliver there. This will free your bottoms for transport of OTHER cargoes and increase your base profitability, by allowing you to concentrate on those routes which are more lucrative for you. This will also increase our profitability, allowing us to transship a cargo and earn freight delivery fees instead of dead-heading on certain of our routes.
We are not, in any way, shape, or form, attempting to compete with you or Borderworld Exports in the field of bulk or mainstream cargo handling. We will still specialize in hauling the specific materials needed as ship builders for the Bounty Hunters Guild. This will simply allow both of our corporations to expand in areas that, perhaps, neither had considered in the past, and hopefully help provide your company with the ability to survive, flourish, and grow in the Sirius trade.
Thank you for your consideration.
Jeff Phelps
CEO and Secretary to the Board
