TEXT: Dear Ms. Jones:

A new product has been developed by this company, which we are being strongly encouraged by the U.S. Department of Commerce to export to the Middle East. The product is remote-controlled electronic automobile window shades. This product is targetted in itially to the Saudi Arabian market because of their extreme heat. The window shades protect the interior of the automobile, and automatically roll up when the ignition is turned on. They cannot be lowered while the engine is running.

Technological support is provided to us by the Georgia Institute of Technology. Total production for the next two years will be for export only, because of the strong demand created by the extreme heat aforementioned.

Saudi Arabia's Standards of Organization require a letter or statement from the appropriate U.S. agency stating that there is no objection to the product in the U.S. market if we export in large quantities. We would be pleased if you could supply this letter or direct us to the appropriate source. Your prompt reply will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
