From the Nigerian Trade Minister: Samuel Ioraer Ortom
To the Ottoman Trade Minister: Hasret Taylan

Greetings, I am writing you with the intention of setting up a strong flow of trade between our two nations. We are most interested in importing foodstuffs and steel from the Ottoman Empire and in exchange we can offer:

1. Rubbers
2. Plastics
3. Crude Oil
4. Natural Gas
5. Tobacco

We can further offer to have the Independent Nigerian Trade and Banking Federation handle all transporting of goods both too and from your ports and ours. We would further propose a biweekly trade agreement to ensure a constant and stable supply of the traded goods.

Dear sir,

It is delightful to hear that Nigeria is interested in engaging diplomatically with Turkey, however I am afraid that government policy prohibits me from being able to relay this request to The Board Of Trade, Commerce & Industry, you will have to officially open proper diplomatic channels with Turkey.

Yours faithfully,
Kanat Ozbek, Vizier For Foreign Affairs
