RE: Legal Services

___________________________________________

The Commonwealth of the Crystal Mountains would like to put your firm on a 100,000,000 US$ retainer to handle any and all legal services and actions that require expertise in International Law.

This includes consultation with government ministries about their actions and/or policies, their impact, and compliance with international Law.

We would request that you assign a lawyer (or lawyers) full time to the Commonwealth's business. We will provide a dwelling, office, staff, vehicle and air transport for this purpose.

We would ask that a lead counsel be designated. The attorney designated as lead counsel needs to commit to the business of the Commonwealth for at least 5 years (or more) for continuity.

If these terms meet with your approval, we can draft a contract for annual renewal.

These terms are satisfactory, and a team of our lawyers, headed by Fredrick Wright, J.D., will be sent to your nation.
