Dear Mr. James Rohr,
Attached hereby is a business proposal for the establishment of Middle Eastern Restaurant in South Williamson Port, PA. The venture comes at an opportune time when the number of tourists in the area is increasing at a high rate. It is therefore prudent to take advantage of this influx of tourists from the Middle East and other Asian cities coming to America. It is thus viable to set up a restaurant that will address the insatiable appetite and penchant for Middle East cuisines and culture. This will be both beneficial to not only the tourists but also for the residents of South Williamsport who will derive benefits either directly or indirectly.
Middle Eastern restaurant in Williamsport will include equipment classified as kitchen, refrigeration and lodge equipment and appliances. The restaurant will be operational 24/7 thus providing services to any tourist at any time of the day. The unique selling point of the restaurant is its ability to blend Middle Eastern and Western Cuisines and cultures. The prices will also be pocket-friendly as well as the various specials that will come as added packages for the tourists.
I have attached a copy of business proposal for your review. Please feel free to contact by phone at XXX-YYY-ZZZ or by email at [email protected], and I will be pleased to provide you with any additional information required. Thank you for your consideration.
