		<description>Hej from Sweden,
Setena, I love what I have seen and I wish you all the success and happiness in your business.  You are a wonderful role model for young Black girls and women. It is important for all of us to know that it is possible to succeed, with determination and very hard work. I am a Black woman nearly 60 who now lives in Sweden. I live on a farm and raise West African dairy goats. I am on the verge of launching my new business selling homemade 100% natural goat milk soap. I have a blog about my life in the Swedish countryside with my goats. Please visit my blog:http://gullringstorpgoatsblog.wordpress.com</description>

		<description>Hello, my name is Janieka Bennett, Executive Director of The Universal Diamond Pageant System. It is the home of the most astonishing Beauty and Scholarship Pageants in the South. We specialize in beauty and scholarship pageants for kids, teens, and women ages 12mon - 25yrs of age.

I decided to bring the opportunity to Atlanta to give young girls an opportunity to shine amongst peers, family, and friends which in turn boosts self confidence and allows them to have a fun, new experience. I am writing you in hopes that you can make an announcement at your facility and  post the attached flyer in your facility to make young girls and their parents in your area aware of this opportunity. The entry fee is $200.00 which includes a pageant t-shirt, a participation trophy, and a fun filled day of pageant activities.

Phone registration is also available at 678-973-7155. I would love to set up a time and date with you this coming week, Jan.16-22, for me to come into your facility to briefly speak to the girls as well as pass out information for their parents. Thanks so much in advance for your help in reaching out and inspiring young girls, teens, and women in your community to become a part of something so positive that they will remember forever.

Greetings,
My name is Rashidat and I am writing on behalf of Trina Soumare of Ballet Brika West African Dance Theater.  Mrs. Soumare requested that I contact your organization about our exciting African drum, dance and folklore classes now offered in the Midtown Fort Lauderdale community on Sistrunk Avenue.
Students are coming from Miami, Lauderhill, North Broward and Palm Beach County to attend these classes but we want to better serve the people who live along the Sistrunk Corridor!  
Because we are new to the area, we hope that your organization will lend us your expertise by helping us to recruit students for our Saturday afternoon classes.   
Participants must apply,  be interviewed and be willing to consistently attend classes, as well as rehearsals and performances on time.
Will your organization assist us?  
If so, we will send you a packet with company, programs and projects as well as registration information for you to share with the residents of your Sistrunk community.  
You may visit our website www.balletbrika.com   and also on YouTube at http://youtu.be/xjm_SKo2Wk0.  
If you should have any questions, please contact Mrs. Soumare at 954-687-5789 , and make sure to tell her I contacted you.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to the collaborating with your organization. 
Sincerely,
Rashidat Shittu                                                                                                                                    Fyre Inc.
