Dear Puri.

    You must be very suprised receiving this letter. Allow me to introduce myself first. I am Asih, the student of  SMK Pencipta Kriya., majoring carpentry.,My  main goal of entering carpentry is to design houses that are enviromnentally  friendly, earthquake resistant and ln accordance with Indonesian culture.

    I think many people build houses without paying attention the value of local culture today. They are  actually proud of the European - style house design. Besides that, I  also like  to create handicrafts from pieces Of unused wood.Instead of removing the remaining wood, I'd like to turn them into products  that  have selling values. Of course. my creative  activities won't disturb my school I’m very grateful that the money from the sales of the  handicrafts can afford my needs. I no longer depend on my parents.

    Herewith this letter, I want to get tips from you on how to open cooperation with overseas partners sothat I can export my products I  .ithink my products have  a considerable market opportunity. Hopefully, you don't mind to share your knowledge and experience so that l can develop my business.

    Puri, that’s all for now. Thank you  for reading my letter and I'm looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes,

Asih
