Hong Kong, June 4, 2002

Doing business with strangers can be both risky and frustrating, especially when the parties to the transaction are separated by oceans, national boundaries, language, and culture.

A good business transaction takes place when each side knows what to expect, and both sides have reasonably good confidence that the other side will keep his or her promises.

Of course, no one can forsee all of the possible hazards. At EARTH we do our best to eliminate as many of them as possible, however.

EARTH believes in secure and sustainable business relationships.

Sincerely,

R. A. Stegemann
Owner and Manager
