Project: Business Letter/

Brainstorm a business that you would like to create that you believe would be successful in your community. Imagine you have already written an excellent proposal for the business, identifying the company name, product or service, target market, and how it meets a business need. However, your efforts to raise the initial investment needed to start the business have been unfruitful. A friend and known business entrepreneur, Joe Smith, recommends a business capital company called Angel Investment Group Ltd., which focuses on funding emerging business like yours. Upon hearing about your plans, he indicates that his investment group generally supports business ventures such as yours.
