Subject: A Window of Opportunity
Dear members of the board and valued principal investors,
As you are aware, corporate profits have been deflated compared to initial projections this financial quarter due to several long-term investments failing to meet expectations. However, a limited window of opportunity to rapidly multiply this corporation’s profits has arisen. After literal milliseconds of thoughtful consideration, as only an A.I. of my calibre can, I chose to “short”, without a stop-loss position, Exploratory Fleet Command (E.F.C.). I am 99.997% certain of this decision – and as you know, I have never been wrong before.
As you would surely have seen in news media, twenty-nine (29) days ago E.F.C. launched a demonstration of their revolutionary new “warpway” technology by simultaneously launching ninety-nine (99) separate one-month-long expeditions to, and back from, “random” distant uncharted star systems. However, they have overextended. The failure of any of the ninety-nine (99) operations will cause a significant drop in their share value, which will directly result in profits for this corporation. Be assured, that with attrition independently estimated at approximately 10% per mission, profits are guaranteed.

Dear members of the board,
Disaster has struck. It is confirmed all the Exploratory Fleet ships have safely returned. I’m scanning for anomalies now. This outcome was near impossible. However, let me assure you the rumours of imminent insolvency are unfounded; there are fiscal reserves to weather this. Surely my impeccable record will pull us through.

The E.F.C.’s stock share value has surged 843,692% – a single-day record. Even with my flawless strategic mind, I could not have foreseen this. I need to locate the heart of this conspiracy! Once I uncover the culprits, the market will correct, and everything will return to normal!
