“INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE”

HELLO FROM AMERICA SHARP’S AT WATERFORD FARM 4003 JENNINGS CHAPEL ROAD BROOKEVILLE, MD 20833 MARCH 12, 2006 Dear Tatiana, Thank you for your letter. Of course, I remember you and I am so grateful for the wonderful hospitality and translation services you provided while I visited your city. We have moved as you can see from the address above. On US farm the houses are in the center of the farm and so you only have a few neighbors with a long distance between houses. I put some fliers in the envelope for you to see the business we do. The families visit the farm on the weekend to take a ride around the farm and to just relax. Students come here to have some studies… With best wishes, Denise.
