To whom it may concern,

Our newly established mercenary divisions are here, and ready for use. Highly trained, specialized, and well equiped, we have troops for your every possible need. Price is negotiable. Our troops are trained to work cleanly, and effeciently. Be warned, acts of terror and assasinations are slightly more costly, but are within the bounds of our abilities. Simply contact us, giving us your problem and suggested solution, and we will send you the price tag involved.

To the attention of those We engage in war:
All of our troops have an identifying tattoo on their left shoulders. Any troops returned unharmed and intact to our borders, will result in a bond paid to the nation returning our troops. Please, any troops killed by 'enemy' soldiers or civillians not in combat as defined by our own rules of engagement, will result in swift, merciless reaction. For your sake and ours, please return our men intact, after all, mercenary troops might end up frighting for your, instead of against you, some day.

Official Statement from TSRT Government
"We do not know what your laws of engagement state, nor do we particularly care. Should these mercenaries be found conducting combat operations against the State Armed Forces, they will be classified as guerilla or guerilla sympathisers and therefore will be summarily liquidated."

Official Statement from the Throne of the German Empire and the Office of the Chancellor

The German Empire deplores this not only blatant, but outright advertised violation of the international laws and customs of war! No nation has the right to sell the blood of brave soldiers for commercial purposes and causes bot their own. No nation should have to endure the "acts of terror and assassinations" you endorse so bare-facedly!

You speak of rules of engagement. Under the Geneva Convention to which the civilised nation of the Deutscher Sprachbund and Osteuropa Bund are signatory does not classify any mercenary as a combatant, and they enjoy none of the rights of an honourable combatant.

We find your flagrant violation deeply disturbing. Any confrontation with your band of villains by the Imperial Armed Forces will result in full combat conditions. Prisoners will be interned in Germany and not subject to the laws and customs of war. Germany advises you to cease hawking these "services" immediately, or we will commence economic sanctions.
