To whomever it may concern:

The Commonwealth of Saint Fedski has announced a showcase/conference for all parties involved in securing this contract and thus two in the future. If your company still has an interest, you are invited to showcase the details that you believe best meet the requirements of either the upgrade or the brand new aircraft. Each company will be allowed one entry into each category (the categories are "Upgraded Tiger III" and "Brand New") for a maximum of two entries per company.

We at SUNACS would wish to put forth your request. We understand you are in the process of selecting a new fighter and we wish to offer our two proposals and canidates for your competition. We hope that you find them pleasible and hopefully you will choose them. We understand there is a lot of competition but we think we have ensured at least top 3 picks or better. Thank You.

Re: Showcase/conference

Raja, thank you for your interest in the Commonwealth of Saint Fedski's aircraft "competition". We request that you manfuacture a small squadron, at least three aircraft, of each category for display and performance evaluation. Once other companies submit their aircraft and send their "teams" performance tests will be performed and following a small discussion, the winner of the contract will be announced.

Thank you.
