Dear Sir or Madam,

I contact you on behalf of Sinclair Shire Services, a small familiy business run by my brother Lewis Sinclair and me, Logan Sinclair. We provide transports for high-risk cargo or cargo that needs the safety of heavy armor and numerous turrets in the eyes of our contractors.

The latest developments in Tau-31 led to critical financial troubles for us. Our biggest customer, Planetform Inc., could no longer renew our contracts to supply the Harris operations. Plus, one of our two ships, the Queen Elizabeth, was severely damaged by a Kusari patrol. Since Southampton is busy with the production of military vessels, the Queen Elizabeth is stationed in drydock at Scarborough Station currently. However, we cannot afford the much needed maintenance at the moment. That leaves us the Queen Victoria as our only ship to make profit.

We tried to set up a contract with the BAF and BMM for the deliverance of engine components from Rheinland but it did not work out the way we hoped. The Liberty embargo on Rheinland forced us to take the Omega route, only to discover that Corsair and Hessian pirates seemed to have specialized on that route, too. The Shire might be quite capable of self-defense, one Shire alone can be taken out by pirates fairly easy though. My negotiations with Synth Foods for the deliverance of supplies to independent worlds failed yesterday. We simply cannot meet their price if we want to cover our costs.

You see, we are in a grave situation. We cannot pay for the maintenance of the Queen Elizabeth, nor do we have profitable routes for the Queen Victoria. We need fresh credits to invest into cargo and to keep our remaining ship running. Therefore we would like to offer Bowex the possibility to buy 51% of Sinclair Shire Services, thus making the company and both of our ships a part of Bowex. Sinclair would operate under Bowex license but we do want to preserve us the right to independently set up contracts or join non-Bowex convoys with the Queen Victoria if the opportunity occurs.

I am sure Bowex and Sinclair Shire Services will come to an agreement concerning our offer. I am looking forward to your response.

Logan Sinclair
Co-owner Sinclair Shire Services
