Chief Executive Officer,

My name is Rui Pena, and I serve as the Secretary of Defense of the Portuguese Republic. My purpose in reaching out to Nexus and to you is to initiate an inquiry and potential acquisition of two Invincible Class Aircraft Carriers for the Portuguese Navy.

Following a meticulous examination of its specifications, we believe that the Invincible Class Aircraft Carrier aligns seamlessly with the current needs of the Portuguese Navy, making it our preferred choice. In light of this, we are reaching out to Nexus to gather essential information regarding pricing, with the understanding that we would also be procuring the maximum air complement. Could you kindly provide us with a detailed quotation for the purchase of two Invincible Class Aircraft Carriers and their air complement? We recognize the commercial sensitivity of such information and wish to assure you that all details shared will be handled with the utmost confidentiality.

To expedite the process and ensure a thorough understanding of the pricing details, we are amenable to scheduling a meeting or teleconference at your earliest convenience. Your insights and expertise will be instrumental in facilitating our decision-making process. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to the opportunity to discuss pricing details further. Please advise us on your availability for a meeting or teleconference.​

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Secretary of Defense of the Portuguese Republic,

Dear Secretary Pena,

Thank you for your email and interest in the procurement of the Invincible-class Aircraft Carrier.

The sale of the Invincible-class and a full air component of Harriers is a complicated process due to the fact that both assets are in active service with the UK military and are mandated by the Ministry of Defence.

Therefore, I would advise discussing this with the UK Ministry of Defence first to inform of your intentions as they will need to authorize any sale.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Alison
