| On behalf of all the employees of American Book Company, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to explore possible opportunities between your organization and American Book Company.
American Book Company (ABC) is one of the fastest growing wholesale distributors of promotional, closeout, remainder, and bargain priced books. We have experienced phenomenal growth within our company. In fact, ABC has doubled our sales volume every year since our inception in 1997. This tremendous growth can be attributed to our strong relationships with our customers and publishers, our commitment to the highest level of customer service, and our investment in the industry's best and brightest personnel. American Book Company has reinvested a significant amount of our revenues into additional employees, a new computer system and improvements in our warehouse and distribution operations. Our new state of the art computer system has linked all of our operations: accounting, purchasing, sales management, warehousing, distribution, and wholesale e-commerce all under one interactive system.
American Book Company is committed to building a strong partnership with your company. I am confident that we can strengthen this partnership through the following information.
Thank you for your review and consideration. If upon review of the enclosed proposal you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to contact your sales representative.
Respectfully,
President and CEO
