業務提携の提案：I am writing to suggest a business proposal that・・・

I am writing to suggest a business proposal that I believe may be of mutual benefit. Both our companies are in the computer business and both are serving (name of city or region). Your company primarily builds personal computers and provides computer system integration for individuals and small and medium-size businesses. Our company designs and installs Local Area Networks for small and medium-size businesses. Both our companies provide after-sale customer service to repair and/or upgrade the systems we sell. To some degree we both share the same customer base. Because of the fact that our businesses are related, and largely serve the same market, I am proposing that our two companies formally establish a mutual cooperative working relationship. I believe this can be a three-way win-win situation in which both our companies and our customers can all benefit. Our companies can both benefit by sharing customer information with each other. Greater knowledge of the local customer base would be of mutual benefit. Our customers would benefit by not having to deal with each of our companies separately. Contact with either company would automatically put the customer in touch with both companies. What I propose is not a merger, only an agreement of mutual cooperation which might best begin in the area of sales and marketing and later expand into a combined customer help desk or integrated service organization. Please let me know if this idea is of any interest to you. I can be contacted by telephone, mail or e-mail at any time.
