Dear Sirs,

We owe your esteemed address to the courtesy of the British-Macandian Chamber of Commerce in Otagua. We produce different products with high export potential.

Our basic product is in fact the flower called Tropiflora which is produced on Flower Island, near the Macandian coast. The history of this flower is unknown. For centuries the inhabitants of the island lived among the massive flower fields. The climate of Flower Island is great, with average warm temperatures, sun and healthy soil.

Only recently Flower Island has begun to improve its economy, bringing it up to a modern, contemporary standard in a professional way. Our government is very much in favour of supporting export activities.

Not only the flower itself seems to be an interesting export product. Also the seeds have special value. The leaves contain ingredients which may be used for medical purposes. And then there is another, quite different application. The flower makes wonderful paint, which can be used both for artistic purposes and for dying textile materials.

Should you wish to know more about 'Tropiflora', we invite you to visit our website www.tropiflora.mc.

With kind regards,

Name of sender
