To: Minister Golitsyn
From: CGriffincrest@Griffincrest.net
Sub: Price

While we are very grateful that you have decided to order your oil through Griffincrest, we feel that we may be getting short changed by your offer. The normal going rate of a barrel of Griffincrest oil is thirty dollars per barrel, bringing your total price to $240,000,000 USD, significantly higher than the price you asked for. We realize, however, that you will be buying a large quantity of oil, and thus we are willing to make a deal. We will settle on the price of $200,000,000 per shipment, knocking off a full $40,000,0000 from the normal price. Please let me know what you think soon.

Sincerely,

Claudius Grifincrest

Dear Mr. Griffincrest,

It has come to our attention that your company has sold exactly the impressive ammount of 0 barrels lately. It seems that the international community is teaching you that PR doesn't mean invading other nations for oil.

To help Griffincrest come out of its financial spiral, we offer to buy the company and all of its assets for the ammount of one Universal Standard Dollar.

6,000,000,000 has been wired... it will be automatically sent every year.
With the payment of this money, I have stopped using Zastava Oil and made Griffincrest Oil the sole company I import oil from.
Please open a dealership with Shaf Motors Inc. to increase business relations between our 2 nations.

A Request from the Well-Oiled Machines of Spartan Philidelphia

We would like 500,000 more barrels of whiskey oil for 15,999,999.95. An extra whatever so that I can ask you more about meaningless nonsense. It seems the tanks and airplanes won't run on anything else except for oil extracted by the Griffincrest Corporation except when I take out all the water at the bottom of the tanks. What's your secret? Do you add drugs such as nicotine to your oil so that any vehicle or machine that uses it will be hooked for life? Do you believe in Max Barry? Do these questions make you suspect that I am working for another oil company aspiring to be as great as you are? Don't believe those bearded hobos outside the building. They lie. We await your informational response.

To the Leadership of Eatonville,

Your order shall set sail immediately upon wiring of the payment. Thank you for choosing Griffincrest for your oil needs, and we hope to see you again some time soon!

Sincerely,

Claudius Griffincrest

========================================================================

Dear Sir Yugemos,

Shipping a single barrel of oil is a bit unproductive. We would, however, be willing to make a layover in your nation for a regular Confederate Airlines freight flight that would have otherwise gone elsewhere. If this is okay with you, you shall have your barrel.

Sincerely,

Claudius Griffincrest

We care little for the manner of transportation, feel free to use whatever transportation is more efficient. We do however care for the quality and the structure of the oil, it must not be affected by the abnormal manner of transportation.

A Message from the Spelling Masters of Spartan Philidelphia
Subject: Oil...what else?
FakeEmailAddress42@notrealwebsite.com

It seems I have greatly underestimated Spartan Philidelphia's oil reserves. Despite the fact that there is an infinite amount of theoretical oil within our physics-ignoring landscape, we are too lazy to get it ourselves. That is why we will buy 26 billion barrels of oil for about $765,000,000,000 dollars. This large amount has been influence by a certain Birkainian economics report and the fact that there will inevitably be a war which involves us. As this is a large order, we will pay the money as we get the oil. What say you?

EDIT:

Note that when I said, "...infinite amount of theoretical oil within our physics-ignoring landscape..." I meant the world as a whole.
