Plop,
Hello there First Mate, heard some great things about you but no one able to tell me the proper spelling of your well earned and respected name. Name's Nate. I would love to meet with you because it sounds like you all have the right mind set and I be wanting piece of the action. Loyalty is something I can do and I would love to give your crew a try if you were up to it. I figured you would be the best to speak with since going to the Cap' herself would be a bit presumptious of me, you know? Anyway, let me know what you think about my letter and all. I can be reached here.
Nate
