Letter #1:
I hope you happen to be in good health. Is your sister still around, I had a thing for her you know. How is she doing, if you see her please let her know that I asked. I happen to be on the edge of town this week, would you be interested in joining me? At Stony’s Awesome Bar is where I will be having dinner tomorrow if you wish to join me. Very early this morning I found a pouch of gold sitting by the edge of the road. Ten gold was sitting in it, quite an exciting find at for me. I have found a place to stay on the edge of town, the Boone's Tavern, quite a cozy place and I like the view my room has. I just need to go find an honest job, search around a little for that. Would you have one to offer me?
If you do be sure to write back and let me know. I’m interested in iron work. Please come see me in person I haven’t seen you in so long because of my travels. My line of work is very dangerous and I’m looking to settle down without many people noticing. I’ve made many enemies and I’d like them not to find me so please lay low if you come to find me. Been nice writing to you!
My life has been a mess over the past few months, from stirring up rebellion in many countries to make a profit, creating a world class ponzi scheme, making 100’s of gold by reselling products, and creating a few enemies along the way. Well I’m sick and tired of fighting where I’m paid. I want to find a job and do what I want in my time and my orders. I’ve taken control of countries, infiltrated congresses over the world, and become some of the highest helpers to other Country Presidents. Stole 100s of gold legally from Orgs, created new and clever ways of making gold, buying out Stock Companies, and giving out massive loans. I’ve created a name for myself and I want to get away from it all, which doesn’t come easily in my world. I am going to try however and escape from it all. I just can’t take it anymore.
I will now settle down in one spot, something I have never done before. I am slightly scared that someone will catch on to who I am but it will not consume me every waking minute like it has for the last few months. I hope to find a girl to call my own, hit the bars around here as well. Who knows I might become a wanderer free to explore what I wish. I can learn new talents and skills. Hope to see you soon Tome Greene, hope to see you soon.
Signed,
P.S.
I will need some cash to get started because I am dry after my last failed attempt. I would like 500 USD , 25 Gold , and 1500 LTL . If you can provide that, great, if not as close to that as possible would be appreciated. Cash in these debts at your earliest convince I will be around to help. Thanks for all your help!

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
