Anpulla Chicago Kingson Raj,
Thanks for your mind-time on the phone just now.
Kingson - as agreed, please send an email to all those who have expressed
interest in attending the FETNA Entrepreneurs' Forum in Chicago, including
the investment professionals, providing them preliminary awareness of the 7
years in development, Erumbugal Entrepreneurship Platform
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/erumbugal
To enable you to see some of the project proposals we need partners for, I
have enabled you, on no-email mode, to view the Erumbugal archives off
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/erumbugal .
Examples of outstanding project proposals that provide job, risk-reward and
investment opportunities, for which we are seeking committed and trusted
relationships for, are a Tamil Cooperative Bank, Tamildom Services Barter,
Tamildom TV, the Tamildom Anywhere "dummies" PC, New Millenia Tamil TV
Productions, Legal Services Insurance, Tamildom Cultural Immersion Tours,
Brand-name Siddha Preventatives & Cures (for the mainstream market a la
"Bodyshop"), Tamildom (Tax-Deductible) Medical/Vacation Tours, Tamildom
Franchising Services, Erumbugal Ground Exchanges, Networked Economy
Interactive Training, Tamildom Life-Upliftment Insurance, Tamildom Wired
Business Doctor Services and the Tamildom Cross-Media Cooperative itself.
All of these are in our archives and are at various states of
planning/resource-mobilisation. They provide win-win opportunities to those
attending your Entrepreneurship Forum.
Pls cc me on the email, and I will add to it by referring specific URLs for
the corresponding projects.
