Dear Dahlia,
I am Bill Tinglin, the President and CEO of the Bethel Town Seaford Town Foundation and the German Jamaican Museum, headquartered in Jamaica, with an office in New York. In pursuit of economic development, community revitalization, and Jamaica's nation-building, we are establishing the German Jamaican Museum and the German Jamaican Rosetta Tinglin Cultural Center in Seaford Town (commonly known as German Town) in the parish of Westmoreland. In light of these transformative endeavors, we are seeking your esteemed assistance in exploring potential fiscal incentives that could amplify the appeal of our upcoming tourism attractions. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss this matter further.
In a recent meeting with Jhanelle-Rae Bowie, World Bank Operations Analyst for the Caribbean Country Unit, she suggested I contact you to discuss the critical economic development project unfolding in Seaford Town.
I've included our comprehensive business plan and all relevant documents about this significant initiative. I'm excited to hear back from you.
