It was a warning letter!

Dear Mr. Kimbra,

We have reason to suspect your involvement in the disappearance of our Ambassador, Jagoan Laine. Please contact us immediately and aid our investigation.

If you are unable to provide a satisfactory response, we have every reason to believe that you are trying to provoke the Somer Government.

In such case, Somerland shall blacklist all petroleum trading with the Kurt family and impose economic sanctions on your family.
