To whom it may concern,
My name is Kate and I'm an American living in Thailand with my Thai husband and our 10 month old son. I'm seeking business opportunities with your company to expand to Thailand. My husband owns several businesses of his own including a tutoring school in Thailand and runs a study abroad tour company. Now we are seeking new business ventures with Old Spice! Our idea stemmed from my husbands love of your product, but we realized it is impossible to find here in Thailand. I was surprised to see that nobody carries it, and then it got me thinking how great it would be to be your exclusive distributer and bring Old Spice to Thailand. I'm from Utah but have been living in Thailand for about 5 years now. There is a huge demand for good deodorant here, especially among expats and tourists. Just from researching online there are dozens of people asking about where in Thailand they can get Old Spice products. I know your product would sell amazingly well since there is a large demand for it but no current distributer. Many people are told before visiting Thailand to make sure to bring extra deodorant since it is unavailable here. Please let me know if you think it would be a possibility to work together in bringing Old Spice to Thailand! Hope to hear back from you soon,
Kate
