Dear Mr.Jack Manny,

Our CEO &and Founder -, Mr. Roman Dima, has been to your “Giogios” restaurant several times during his visit to Chicago, USA, and he absolutely enjoyed his visits.

Mr. Roman himself and all our team are keen to be your partner in the region. We have sufficient experience, resources, and professionals. We believe that our partnership will be very fruitful.

I would like to give you some information about our country and our capital city – Moscow. Russia is located in the Caucasus region, bordering with Turkey, Georgia, Russia and Iran. Russia is a developing European country with thea population of 140 million, and Moscow has a population of 11 million (as of January 1, 2019). Russia is one of the most attractive places for the touriststourists. Please note that the vast majority of world-wideworldwide famous brands are represented in Moscow (Gucci, Zara, Bentley, Marriott, Chanel, GAP, Hilton, Four Seasons, McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Hard Rock Café, etc.). Moscow is a host for various prominent competitions, such as Formula 1, the Olympic Games (European), the Champions League (European), the Eurovision Song Contest, etc.
