Dear Professional Colleague,

With global warming, every degree added to our climate will cause the life cycle of most insect pests to be speeded up.  This equates to shorter time from egg hatching to full grown adult, thus creating larger pest populations and a greater challenge to professional pest managers like us.

   
To meet this challenge and to keep our business running efficiently and safely, we need to constantly update our technical know-how by searching for better and more effective treatments, up-to-date information on chemicals and equipments.  This will improve efficiency and reduces call-backs, allowing us to remain profitable, especially during the next 2 years when inflation is expected to hit an all-time high.

Hello, My name is Suchart Leelayouthyotin, I am the Chairman of Pest Summit 2008, the major international professional pest management convention of Southeast Asian Countries, This convention is co-organized by the pest management associations from Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore with Thailand as the main organizer.  It will be held from  August 13 to 15 , 2008, in Bangkok, Thailand.

I would like to, personally, invite you and your team to join us in this exciting convention, during which we have planned for you to:
-Enjoy seeing, listening, shaking hand, photo-taking, getting to know, or even getting autograph from the many renowned and highest decorated speakers in our international pest management community.
- Exchange ideas, discuss, and elbows-rubbing with the famous amongst our chemical suppliers and equipment manufacturers and inventors, and
- Experience the warm, relaxing, and friendly hospitality of our proud Thai heritage. It promises to be one of the best encounters you will remember, years to come.
Therefore, my dear Professional Colleague, please prepare your team, mark your calendar, and plan your trip, for the very exciting and most important professional event of 2008.
I look forward to personally welcoming you, at the Pest Summit 2008, Bangkok, Thailand.

Sincerely,
Mr. Suchart Leelayouthyotin
