To : The Leader of Tagmatium

From : Koku, Koku Kingdom.

 

Greeting the leader of Tagmatium.

 

According to our long tradition of ?self sufficiency?, we have been a closed country. Our nation have never attempted a contact with other nation for decades.

 

However, as we expand, it is inevitable that we exchange goods and knowledge with other friend nations. We produce many kinds of fruits ; bananas, oranges, guava, durian, rambutan, lychee, jack fruit, snake fruit, mango, longan, apple, macardemia, and plums. Our major inductries are also, automobile, handicrafts, electronics, silk cloths and garments.

 

Please let us know if you may have items or goods you may wish to trade.

 

I am certain that we shall very much benefit from our closer cooperation.

I look forward to your reply.

 

With high regards,

Koku, King of Koku Kingdom.

To: King Koku, of the Kingdom of Koku

From: Holy Emperor Commodus III

 

the Holy Empire of tagmatium has also a history of being an insular nation, stemming from an isolated past and a recent fascist dictatorship.

 

We would be glad to begin trading with the great nation of Koku. We are especially interested in the many exotic fruits your country has native to it; the cold climate of our nation means that there aren't many types of fruit other than apples, pears and others which will grow here naturally. If you remember, we co-operated on the bio-sphere project during the recent activity about a Europan nature reserve, and we would like to continue in this vein. We would also be interested in trading for silk, as this is quite a rare commodity in Tagmatium.

 

Tagmatium itself doesn't have much in the way of exotic products, its main industries are wool, beef, arable farming (such as cereals). There are also large furniture industries, a small mining sector and horses. Due to our small technology sector, your electronics and automobiles are good.

 

Thank you for your co-operation.

Greeting the leader of Tagmatium. I am pleased to receive your reply.

Also, I have sent to you 3 tons of mixed tropical fruits for your trial ( seasonal fruits now are ; bananas, oranges, guava, durian, rambutan, mango, longan, and plums ). If your traders think they are good, they can place some more orders.

 

For silk, you can send several of your delegates to attend our silk festival next week. Your delegates are welcome as our state quest and our minister of trade will facilitate them through out the stay.

 

About your goods, we have strong interest in buying a number of fine hourses. Hourse riding is a hobby of many of our people.

 

For cereals, our people consume large quantity of cereals a year. Please send some variety cereals and we will let you know our preferences.

 

I am certain that we shall very much benefit from our closer cooperation.

With high regards,

Koku, King of Koku Kingdom.

OOC: Sorry for the late-ness. I replied, but it didn't work, so I got annoyed, but I then forgot to do it again.

 

To: King Koku, of the Kingdom of Koku (OOC: I like the aliteration)

From: The Government of Tagmatium

 

We thank you for your gift of three tons of mixed exotic fruit. The high quality of these has prompted us to decide to open-up the markets of Tagmatium to the Knigdom of Koku's fruits. We cannot specify the amounts, due to the fact that supply and demand varies from season to season.

 

The relevant delegates have been despatched to your glorious Kingdom to enjoy the sights and sounds of your silk fair. The Emperor is considering re-vamping the Imperial robes, and when he does, they will be made from pure Koku silk.

 

We are wondering what to do about the horses. it is cruel to send animals on such a long-distance trip, but we think they will be happiest going by aeroplane. In business class, of course.

 

We have many cereal crops, such as maize, wheat and corn. We will send you a large amount so that you can decide upon them.

To : Tacitus Smith, Minister for Trade, Tagmatium

From : Minister of trade, Koku Kingdom.

I am pleased that your people like our tropical fruits. For your concern on volume order, may we suggest several alternative solutions ; Choice 1) A minimal order quantity is placed for several months to see the real demand, then adjusted quantity may be decided later. Choice 2) No initial specific quantity order, but rather have traders place order up to their need, whenever there is a demand for any specific fruit. The choice is yours. Kindly advice.

 

Regarding your delegates' visit, I believe they are now enjoying Koku Silk festival and the cities. We have arranged staff to take care of them through out their stay. It is good news that your Emperor is considering re-vamping the Imperial robes. We look forward to the good news.

 

About the horses. What we would like from your stock is such few of very fine quality hourses, thus, we can not ship them all the way from far north to far south of Europa by sea. We will have special carrier plane the size of USAF.C-130, and we will put in cussions for a comfort travel. Our zooligist will be with the carrier plane to receive them. If you may have other suggestion or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

 

We have received your sample of maize, wheat and corn, and decide that we will buy all the three, but at different quantity. For this first 3 months, we would like the initial quantity be ; 300tons of maize, 1000 tons of wheat and 1000tons of corn, all on monthly basis for these 3 months. Later, we can liaise further for the future quantity orders.

 

I look forward to your reply.

With high regards,

Minister of trade, Koku Kingdom.
