From: Empire of Scandinavia
To: Novgorod
We have noted that progress through Novgorod of Scandinavian merchants and Scandinavian wares has of late been impeded by the actions of unruly lords, greedy customs officials, or any amount of unfortunate corruption on the part of provincial officials. We must ask that you guarantee firstly, tariff and tax-free passage of our goods and our merchants as had been discussed previously with other governments of your nation that we have had a friendly relationship with, and secondly, that no attempts shall be made by any official of your government to harm the progress of trade and commerce in the region. In such an event, we ask that you would cooperate with us to remedy that scenario.
