Dear !*SALUTATION*! !*LAST_NAME*!,
Finally some sun in Tokyo!
Even though there might be a shortage of electricity this summer (in case TEPCO does not get approval to start up some more nuclear power reactors), there shouldn't be any lack of water - as we have experienced in the past - after all the rain we've got during the last week.

Despite all the "gloom and doom" scenarios for Japan, it remains one of the premier markets in the world. As such, all international companies should have Japan as one of their top five turnover and profit contributors.
This congress is designed to help you envisage and achieve this goal. The key to success seems to be a combination of leveraging key strengths and adapting to the local market where appropriate.

Chair Man of the Board
To surprise her husband, an executive's wife stopped by his office.
When she opened the door, she found him with his secretary sitting in his lap.
Without hesitating, he continued dictating, "...and in conclusion, gentlemen, budget cuts or no budget cuts, I cannot continue to operate this office with just one chair."

...I have two chairs in my office...
Enjoy the rest of the week and
Best regards
