The New Land

I Christopher Columbus would like to sail the coast of europe by the end of this year of 1491 and go west across the earth to find another route to asia. The things I ask for as pay is 1/10th of the gold, land and spices found during my journey. For foundage I only need three ships with caravel sails that will allow me to sail faster then any other ship. I will use the navigation of a compass throughout the journey so I will get there befor any one esle. The only way I knew I could do this to do it for Spain and Queen Isabella. When I land on the new land I shall claim the land and everything on it in the name of Spain and immediatly set up Catholic churches throughout the land and if there is another form of society on the new land I shall convert them or bring them into the Catholic religion by persuasion. It shall only take 7 weeks at the most to reach the new land. I shall set sail as soon as possible.

C. Comlubus October 11 ,1492

Senor Columbus,
You make an excellent argument for funding your voyage. You seem sure of your journey, your sailing technologies, and your ability to spread our faith into new lands. I will fund your voyage!

Well done. A few small errors and adjust the date. 23/25 points.
