Dear Business Leader:

We cordially invite you to participate in the **Middle East Free Trade
Agreement (MEFTA) Trade and Investment Conference,** which will
highlight the accelerating investment and dynamic business climates
created by recent U.S. Free Trade Agreements with Bahrain, Jordan,
Morocco and Oman.

The MEFTA Trade and Investment Conference, to be held in **London on
Thursday, March 29, 2007**, will provide a unique forum for U.S. and
Arab business leaders to identify strategic business opportunities and
partnerships in some of the most rapidly growing economies of the Middle
East and North Africa. Government leaders, including the **Prime
Minister of Morocco, Minister of Trade and Industry of Jordan and the
Chief Executive of the Economic Development Board of Bahrain** will join
us to address the booming commercial landscape and promote business
opportunities. Further, executives of U.S. enterprises operating in the
region will provide first-hand accounts of their companies' experience.

As American Ambassadors, it is our responsibility to inform you and
other U.S. industry leaders of potential trade and investment
opportunities in the countries in which we serve. Accordingly, we are
assembling leading government and business leaders for this event. We
also hope to see many of you in Amman, Manama, Muscat, and Rabat in the
near future to follow up on leads identified in London.

Attached is a brief synopsis of conference details, country specific
information and an RSVP form. You can also find this information,
including registration, on our conference website at
www.trademeetings.com. You are also invited to a reception the evening
before on March 28^th^ sponsored by the US-Middle East Free Trade
Coalition.

We look forward to seeing you in London for an informative day of
briefings and discussions.

With Best Regards,
