Dear Mr. Alpha,

Thank you for your continued interest in supplying my business. I have received an extension on my debts so I am able to continue with my business plans. I am very fortunate because at the time of our last letters my creditors were pressing me so hard for repayment that I believed I would have to file for bankruptcy.

I have straightened things out with the EU import authority and we are cleared for importation of gold into Ireland. I am also most interested in your diamonds. I can't be sure but it appears from the pictures that you sent to me, the diamonds are of Kimberlite origin. These diamonds are highly prized in Europe right now so I would like to be able to purchase a quantity of them from you.

Please let me know of your intentions going forward.

Sincerely,
Penny Mahoney
