Business proposal from Ethiopia
Dear Sir/Madam
Hope you are doing fine.
We are an established import company in Ethiopia engaged in the import of human and veterinary pharmaceuticals, laboratory chemicals, medical supplies and equipment as well as tender participation of the same and other products (like industrial chemicals, pharmaceutical ingredients and packaging).We recently also established a sister company with a huge capital.
I have learnt from local sources that you have managed to register some products in the Ethiopian national drug authority (FMHACA formerly DACA)? Accordingly, I would like to request your kind attention and positive reply to my questions and suggestions below.
1. Which of your products are registered by the national drug authority (FMHACA formerly DACA)?
2. How many agents do you have here in Ethiopia?
Please note that:
1. Even if you have signed exclusive agency agreement with the first agent (who has the exclusive mandate of registering your products and follow up other regulatory affairs)it is allowed by FMHACA that you appoint up to two(second and third) additional agents who can import from you the products registered by the first agent. For this you are required only to write one letter of authorization (for us) to FMHACA.
2. If you do not want to sign agreement directly with us you can ask a trading (not manufacturing) company in your country to act as your exporter/distributor for us. There will be two bipartite agreements: One between the trading company and your company, two between the trading company and us.
3. If you have three agents already you can think about cancelling one of them after agreeing on the minimum first and/or annual order value.
4.If you are interested to make us your first agent(by cancelling the existing agent) we will be committed to register more of your products as well as re-register the registered products(at our cost) having invalid certificates(past five years term).
If you are not the one to decide, please forward this message to the concerned person. Any ways, I kindly ask you to place this e-mail on safe place to refer and respond(to ***) when the need arises.
