C / C++ Script connecting via SSL over TCP

Hello, I am looking for someone to code me a script to run on Linux. The script will need to be done in either C or C++ The script will need to connect to a remote server via SSL over TCP and run commands awaiting for a correct response. Once correct response has been recieved will send a command via EPP and SMTP. The code needs to process information as fast possible as latency is a big part of the script. I would ideally like someone with excellent knowledge in C or C++ with SSL / TCP / EPP / SMTP as would like some tricks added with these to help in the process of latency. Any more questions please feel free to ask. Thanks.
