Good Evening David:
I’m writing you to ask a question. We have a small farm in Virginia that produces marine bait fish. We have the capacity to produce 200,000 + fingerlings. Although we need a substainial cash influx, we need to enter into a contract to supply fingerlings to a grow out facility even more. We want to put our facility to work and I’m asking if you can offer assistance in this area? If you have the chance, we would like to hear from you. Thank you,
Shabaka Tecumseh
