In this hour of gratitude, we, on behalf of His Most Christian Majesty, Francis I, extend our profound thanks for the valour and dedication of your troops on the fields of Pavia. Your Ottoman warriors fought with unwavering courage alongside our French forces, and their contribution was instrumental in the defence of our shared values.
The blood spilled together on that hallowed battlefield cements the enduring bond between our great nations. It is with the utmost respect and admiration that we acknowledge your support.
Yours in eternal alliance,

In recognition of our longstanding alliance, we, on behalf of His Excellency, Suleiman the Magnificent, pledge our naval strength to aid you in your struggle against the Holy Roman Empire.

To the Illustrious Rustem Pasha, Vizier of the Ottoman Empire,
In pursuit of a different form of alliance, I write to inquire whether there may be an opportunity for a dynastic connection between our great empires. My younger brother, Charles de Valois, remains unmarried, and I believe that such a union could further fortify the bonds between our illustrious realms.
I beseech you to consider swiftly whether there is a noble Ottoman family with a suitable match for my brother.
With the utmost respect and interest,
Francis II, King of France
