Dear Dareal Noxim,
The Veolian Commonwealth currently acquires a number of

from the Praetorian Empire. Our current bookkeeping lists the following deals and treaties:
- 200
per
, in exchange for 26
, 26
, 26
(till
150) - 200
per
, in exchange for earlier deliveries and Genealogical Archives (till
141) - 220
per
, in exchange for 225
(indefinitely)
We predict that our demand for

will grow in the coming turns. Together with the eventual conclusion of two of our contracts representing a volume of another 400

per

, we predict a demand in the coming year of at least 1400

per

, with further growth over time. Because of this, we are looking for a steady supplier of rare elements at a reasonable price.
We understand the market position of the Praetorian Empire, and do not wish to enter a bidding discussion with you by undervaluating your raw materials. We currently estimate your valuation of your

at 0.18, which we think is slightly above the price per labour if you were to use the rare elements in a nine-set: 6

/ (9 product labour + 18 material labour ) * 0.8 tax bracket factor ≈ 0.18

.
The Veolian Commonwealth is willing to offer 0.18

per

rounded up. As we do not know the exact moments of increase in our demand we would like to use a flexible approach. We will start out at buying 100

per

, with the option of increasing this over time. We propose that, instead of putting a limit on the growth per turn, we grow the traded volume in proper consultation.
We understand that you can not deliver these goods for 0.18

indefinitely. Because of this, we propose to put a ceiling of 1400

on the number of

we acquire through this treaty, instead of putting a

-limitation on the treaty. We effectively propose an indefinite treaty with the option of transfer of parts of the traded volume to alternative methods of payment. Due to the volume of the trade, we propose that notification of cancellation is sent at least 26

in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Serrah
