| Dear Corporate Section Manager:
We are writing to inquire about agents for our products in Bahrain. Your branch in Orlando, Florida, has told us that you may be able to help us.
We manufacture radio telephones. At present, we export to Europe and Latin America, but we would like to start exporting to the Arabian Gulf.
Could you please forward this letter to any companies in Bahrain that might be interested in representing us? We enclose some of our catalogs.
Sincerely yours
