I write to advise you that, having reviewed your world's trade ban on wool, cotton, and other constituent textiles of Vjun tunics, and having reviewed also your world's "environmental" reasons for doing this, the Commerce Committee has found that these reasons are insufficient to justify a ban on goods as common as these and, furthermore, are not supported as factual by any of the esteemed scientists that have testified to the Committee on this issue. Indeed, the Committee went so far as to commission the University of the Core to test the dyes used in Vjun tunics for contaminants, and none were found that would be detrimental to the Volusian environment, or people.

The Commerce Committee has prepared a resolution condemning this ban as an arbitrary impediment to free trade, and calling upon Volus to lift it immediately. However, since it is possible that your King has been misled by his advisers on this issue, I found it prudent, as chairman of the Committee, to inform you of this before the resolution is introduced this week and, therefore, to give your world the opportunity to lift this ban without the condemnation of the Committee or the resulting embarrassment for your world. Do let me know, when you can, if your world intends to lift the ban. I would, of course, advise it to do so.

Sincerely,
