<< Subj:     Let's board this "Caribbeanexpo" ship
 Date:  1/9/01 8:53:46 AM Eastern Standard Time
 From:  [log in to unmask] (Gbola Oba)

 Dear Sir or Madam,
 
 We, the Editorial Board Members of http://www.powerposers.com, have 
 unanimously agreed that our first mailed EDITORIAL OPINION should be around 
 this issue with tremendous marketing and networking opportunities for 
African 
 and Caribbean owned or based businesses.
 
 Seventeen (17) Caribbean countries are organising a major trade fair in one 
of 
 London’s exclusive venues in July. Their main goal is to allow Caribbean 
 entrepreneurs worldwide to have the invaluable marketing exposure to the 
 British people (i.e. market), at a minimal cost.
 
 They would be glad, as we would and are committed to promoting, to see 
African 
 entrepreneurs worldwide seize the opportunity to promote their brands and 
 products through the effective but ridiculously cheap outlet.
 
 For you to appreciate our corporate agitation, you would have to think of 
the 
 following: the last time the Jamaicans singularly organised an expo in 
London 
 more than thirty thousand (30,000) people (white and black) attended and the 
 majority were begging for a repeat performance. Also at the last Barbadian 
 expo in London more than twenty thousand (20,000) British white and coloured 
 audience were entertained.
 
 Seventy thousand (70,000) people are conservatively expected at the July 
event 
 involving seventeen countries (including, wait for it, Cuba)!
 
 WE KNOW THAT THIS WOULD BECOME THE BUSINESS VERSION OF THE 
 WORLD-FAMOUS-AND-RACE-UNIFYING NOTTING HILL CARNIVAL AND WE ARE RESOLVED TO 
 ALERT OUR AFRICAN BRETHREN TO BOARD THE SHIP BEFORE IT SAILS.
 
 Therefore, we at http://www.powerposers.com have resolved to do the 
following 
 practical things in furtherance of making The CARIBBEANEXPO in July, the 
 beginning of an annual business and commercial jamboree for the promotion of 
 African and Caribbean owned or based businesses in one of Europe’s leading 
 commercial capitals (London).
 
 ONE: encourage the formation of a network of London residents who may be 
able 
 to house new-or-upstart-or-lower-middle-class incoming exhibitors and/or 
fair 
 attendees at extremely reduced rates or for free for the two (2) nights of 
the 
 expo. TO JOIN THIS PLEASE SEND US YOUR CONTACT E-MAIL ADDRESS SPECIFYING 
YOUR 
 RATE, LOCATION OF YOUR HOUSE/APARTMENT & LIKES-AND-DISLIKES.
 
 TWO: photo-digitally (www.powerposers.com style) introduce you to the 
 reputable individuals who constitute the organising committee at different 
 levels in London and in the Caribbeans.
 
 
 THREE: photo-digitally (www.powerposers.com style) highlight Caribbean and 
 African entrepreneurs in London or abroad billed for the expo in July.
 
 TO MAKE ENQUIRIES OR PARTICIPATE IN THE EXPO. PLEASE CALL: 00 44 (0) 20 7323 
 3470/3569 OR FAX: 00 44 (0) 20 7323 3465.
 
 Wishing you a profoundly successful business year.
