Madam Secretary,
I am writing to you as a result of the Strategic Security Act of 1995 which was passed by the Storting earlier today. In short, high-ranking officers of His Majesty's Armed Forces lodged formal complaints to members of the Storting. These complains chiefly included repeated messages that the Norwegian Royal Air Force and the Army's capabilities are noticeably lacking, especially after developments seen around the world since the beginning of this year. Not to mention, the collapse of Kapital Tower has brought forth a significant amount of public interest, and internal demand, for Norway to be able to better protect itself. That is why I am writing to you now. The law which I have referenced requires that I secure a loan for $5,000,000,000.00 so that the Armed Forces may rapidly equip itself. Of course, as the Minister of Finance, it is my duty to get Norway the best possible deal we can find.
As Norway's closest ally, and wealthiest friend, I wanted to come to you first in order to formally request a $5,000,000,000.00 from the Swedish government. There would be a total-5% interest attached to this loan, meaning that an additional $250,000,000.00 would be sent to the Swedish government, along with the original amount of money borrowed, totaling to: $5,250,000,000.00. The Norwegian Ministry of Finance would, over the next six (6) tax periods, repay this amount to the Swedish government. Starting on the second tax period, $1,250,000,000.00 would be sent to the Swedish government, followed by four payments of $1,000,000,000.00 on their respective tax days.
I have come to you of the special relationship between our countries. However if Sweden has this money allocated for other, more pressing purposes or is otherwise unable to help us at this time, I can assure you that His Majesty's Government will understand. I hope to hear back from you as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
Bjorn Osland
Minister of Defense
