Dear Sir/Madam,
I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation on behalf of Sand River and
its CEO, Mrs. Jane King. I am very familiar with the company. My next book deals
with it in detail, which is to be published in autumn of 2018. I am also
familiar with European consumer. As a Dutch citizen, I have lived in Europe for
46 years and studied European consumer behavior for decades.I believe that Sand
River offers something unique to the European market. It has established
long-term supply relations with herdsman ( 牧民) families and owns advanced German
machinery. Thus it combines natural resources with modern manufacturing
techniques. But equally important, Sand River works with modern fashion
designers to create truly contemporary and appealing designs. The result is a
newly-established cashmere ( 羊绒) brand that appeals to a target group of
high-income women. I met Mrs. King the first time in 2013. Since then, we have
met several times and talked about Sand River's philosophy, strategy, and appeal
to both Chinese and international consumers. I was struck by her deep knowledge
about knitting (针织) technology, her enthusiasm for the brand, and her deep
understanding of the cashmere shopper. I regard her as a "woman of her word." To
summarize, I believe Sand River products deserve a place in luxurious European
department stores and Mrs. King is a reliable partner. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Joan Smith

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although
science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has , atthe
same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps
eighty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer the
colon . Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because
of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to
llness is not a new discovery. In 1945 , government researchers realized that
itrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food
dditives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food,
nd it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the pack ging
labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives which we eat are
not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and
because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes,
but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals
in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to controlthese procedures, the
practices continue.
