Ms. Mary Ostlund

Dear Ms. Ostlund,

On behalf of the Government of Belize, and the Planning Committee for the Prime Minister’s First Official Visit to Florida, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to you for your sponsorship and your active participation on the occasion of the Investment/Trade Show and Dinner Gala held on June 25th-26th, 2010.

The event was the first of its kind to bring together the public sector, the private sector, civil society and Belizeans living abroad, each representing key stakeholders in the development of Belize, in an effort to lay the building blocks for a strategic and mutually beneficial partnership.

Your foresight in seizing the opportunity to become a sponsor and investment/trade show exhibitor to showcase your company is congratulated and we hope it will translate into material business for you.

This is only the beginning. We intend to organize other meetings and events that will help to foster stronger links between the various sectors of our society inclusive of the Belizean Diaspora. We count on your support as we move forward with these initiatives.

Sincerely yours,
Janine Sylvestre-Vega
Honorary Consul General of Belize in Florida -Trade Envoy of Belize in Florida
