Dear CEO of Citadel Group, Australia is very keen to expand its merchant navy. We were looking at the products you have on offer and the list is narrow and no ships on sale particularly meet our needs. Now we know this isn't the limit of your abilities to produce ships. South Korea is the leading ship building nation in the world and the previous South Korean Government was very generous in its production of merchant vessels for other nations, they had a lot of options available. We want to buy a lot of ships, we're talking in the 60+ range. This will be a very good deal for your company. We have perused your main competitor, the Damen Shipyards, and their products are not suitable for our operational requirements. We believe Citadel can provide vessels that are much more suited for Australia and this will allow growth in Australia-Korea relations. Take this opportunity to expand your range of products and I'm sure we will have a major production deal on our hands. Yours sincerely, Dick Adams, MP.
