Dear your Royal Highness,
I, Vasco De Gama, would like to embark on a journey to the far east by sea. I would like to do this so that we don't have to worry about paying more money for goods that are transported over land. I would like to venture to the far east to bring back spices and various other goods to our country. I am planning to sail around the the tip of Africa, and I am hoping to depart from port on February 1, 1497. My plan is to sail all the way around the Cape of Good Hope and make it to the far east within at least three years. I am writing to you, my king, in hope of persuading you to help cover the expenses during our excursion. You will be very pleased with our discoveries by bringing in gold, spices, spreading Christianity and becoming victorious and bringing glory to all of Portugal. We will be sailing a very large Caravel and we will also bring a compass on our journey. Please consider helping us bring the three G's to our country.
Sincerely,
Vasco De Gama
January 11, 1496

Senor de Gama,
How can I say no? Your argument is persuasive, and if I can trust what you say, then all you can bring our country is good things.
