Dear Ms. Bricauit:

We have learned from business associates that you may be looking for an agency to help promote your charming line of children's clothing in North America. We feel that we may be of assistance to you. We are an established agency with our head office in San Francisco and with branch offices in Toronto, Chicago, Atlanta, and Boston. We have an excellent track record helping European and Asian firms boost sales in the United States and Canada, and are convinced that you too could benefit from our experience and expertise. Our European representative, Mr. Peter Greenwood, is currently in London and you may contact him by phone at 0171 745 7489 or at p.greenwood@pacmark.com. He will be in Lyon early next week (Feb. 18-20) and will certainly take the opportunity to call on your firm. If you are not at the clothing trade show in Amsterdam, I hope you can meet with him.

 

Sincerely,

John Bowles

Mr. Greenwood,

I received your contact information from Mr. John Bowles at your San Francisco office.

As Mr. Bowles surmised, we are interested in expanding our marketing efforts and sales in the United States and Canada and are actively looking for a partner to help with North American distribution.

Unfortunately, I will be at the trade show on the days when you are in Lyon. However, my associate Jules Bellanger will be available to meet with you then. He has suggested that you come by our office on Place de Roi at about 11 a.m. on Tuesday, February 19.

In the meantime, could you please supply us with a list of European firms that you have assisted, along with: contact information for the person whom you worked most closely with at those firms?

 

Thank you,

Stephanie Bricauit
