Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr Jones Ferguson The Secetary of (Omanhene Chocolate Tobacco coccoa
farm Company), our company need a Distrubuctors and Agent to
Stand for our comapany in USA,Asia And Europe. through you we can make
payment to our costumars.
For generations, the family cocoa farms of Ghana have produced beans of
wondrous quality. Ghanaian farmers harvest the ripe cocoa pods by hand,
ferment the beans between banana leaves right on the forest flood and
then dry the beans in the warm African sun. To this day, European and
American ,
chocolatiers buy cocoa beans from Ghana and export them to their
chocolate
factories throughout the world where the famed Ghanaian beans are
transformed into some of the world's most delicious and expensive
chocolate.
Now, for the first time, The Omanhene Cocoa Bean Company is producing
world
class chocolate entirely in Ghana using beans The Financial Times calls
"the
finest cocoa in the world." Steven C. Wallace founded the company in
February, 1991, at the age of 29 convinced that if Ghana could grow the
"world's finest cocoa", it ought to be able to produce some of the
world's
finest chocolate. Wallace's interest in Ghana began in 1978 when, as a
sixteen year-old, AFS high school foreign exchange student, he lived in
the
town of Sunyani located in the fertile Brong-Ahafo region of the
country.
His host family was a traditional Ghanaian family consisting of his
host
father, his three wives and twenty-one children.
Omanhene has proven itself one of the most successful and creative
joint
ventures between the U.S. and Ghana. We have won accolades from United
Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, Shirley Temple (former ambassador
to
Ghana) and President Jimmy Carter. We produce value-added gourmet
chocolate
tailored specifically to export markets resulting in enhanced foreign
exchange revenues for Ghana. The sale of Omanhene chocolate results in
higher revenues and consequently higher wages for both workers at the
chocolate factory and for local cocoa farmers. Since cocoa is a
commodity
crop, farm incomes in Ghana are subject to world cocoa price
fluctuations.
Ghanaian cocoa farmers have previously been forced to abandon their
farms
when world cocoa prices stagnate.
Customers love trying the "chocolatiest" milk chocolate in the world.
Omanhene dark milk chocolate ingots contain more chocolate liquor --
the
non-alcoholic essence of the cocoa bean -- than any other milk
chocolate in
the world. The word "Omanhene" (oh-mahn-hee-nee) comes from the Twi
language
and is the title for the traditional king or chief, the repository of
ethical and moral authority in Ghana.
Our chocolate has been:
Noted in The New York Times and seen on NBC's Today Show;
Selected by Chocolatier magazine as one of only three dark chocolates
in the
world featured in every one of Chocolatier's Caribbean cruise chocolate
tastings;
Featured on the international radio network, Voice of America which
transmits in 46 languages to 92 million listeners per week;
and
Highlighted in The Financial Times (London), The Journal of Commerce,
The
Amsterdam News, Consumers Digest, and in Reuter's European Business
Report
