Dear Sirs,

Our company, Elektessadia S.A.L. a Canadian based enterprise, would be
interested to sell your publications to our customers through a mail order
program.

Our Target points are Egypt, Lebanon, and Canada, which we have been doing
business with since 1960. As you know the Middle East has now opened many
of its doors to foreign trade. The market places in most of that part of the
world are growing, and with that growth there is a large influx of
"foreigners", who would be glad to get there hands on books "from home". From
our survey there are very few book stores, and most of them do not stock many
books. The countries themselves have many Universities, and most of there
citizens are graduates...

We do not enter this lightly, and believe that there is a real need,
especially in the Arab world, as most of the foreigners usually buy there
books before going there, or have them sent by friends.

In Canada, especially in Montreal, there are so many different nationalities
that have moved together to form this melting pot. Many family members read
many languages, we would like to supply the family with easily affordable, and
attainable literature...

We are looking for any kind of book. Paperbacks are usually the easiest to
sell, and to mail. But we would like to give our customers all the choices
possible. Therefore we are trying to prepare our own melting pot of
publishers, from all around the world who would be interested in joining us
start this project.

We believe it will not take too much time before we will be able to stock many
of the books in our own warehouse, but until such a goal can be achieved we
will need to fill in the orders as they come. Full payment will be sent to
you, as well as shipping and handling charges with our order.

Our market studies, and geographical settings have shown us that many end
users of your products are not informed about new publications, do not have
the facilities, or not close enough to have immediate access of such products.

We can easily remedy this drawback through our mail order system, which
divides the population into categories, reaching deep within work, home,
religious, and educational communities. We take it upon ourselves to reach
and inform our customers about the newest publications [as well as the old
ones], offering them a choice, that would be of interest to them through a
system of 10 to 15 days for delivery on any publication they want or need.

We would like to know if you would be interested in participating in our
program. If you have your publication list on CD ROM, or on a Diskette, with
your prices for our viewing, we could prepare lists, and offer our customers
either to choose which books they want through our office computers,
catalogue, or through special requests...

An added plus to this type of business is that through direct buying, your
products would be cheaper to the end user, therefore enabling larger sales.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

Yours,
Tina Jarjour.
