[Port Harbour (Ancient)]

To Henk Schuurmans, Chief Executive Officer of Markt Incorporated;

I hope this letter finds you in good health. As the Chairman of the Board of Directors, I represent the Bank of Port Harbour, a financial institution specialising in international trade and commerce. We have noted that you would be interested in hosting other stores within your location, and therefore submit this letter in the hopes that the Bank of Port Harbour becomes a corporate partner and is available at every Markt Incorporated branch.

As such, we have filled out the forms for corporate partnership and to open our venues in your stores, as follows:

• Organisation: the Bank of Port Harbour
• Nation of Origin: Port Harbour
• Nature of Partnership: Banking services at more competitive rates for Markt Incorporated and its customers.
• Requests: That the Bank of Port Harbour be readily available at every Markt Incorporated branch.
• Additional Remarks: N/A

• Company Name: the Bank of Port Harbour
• Nation of Origin: Port Harbour
• Merchandise: Banking services
• Where would you like to be present in Superstores? Tick one.: Global [ x ] Regional [ ] National [ ]

Please understand that, due to the nature of the banking business, Markt Incorporated only needs to cover the basics: the construction fees and maintenance. The Bank of Port Harbour will gladly assume the costs related to hiring staff and maintaining the automated teller machines.

Since we would be corporate partners under the agreement that in every Markt Incorporated store there is a Bank of Port Harbour branch, we would be willing to offer you 10.0% of our total earnings as a result of our partnership in joint stores, as opposed to the 7.0% that you have listed on your website. Feel free to send us any questions or concerns to the Shetland Building, Port Harbour. Thank you for your time.
