Dear Sir/Madam,
http://www.afriQantimes.com
I write to officially introduce to you and AAN the imminent launch of a unique publication – The AfriQan Times Australia. I also seek cooperation with your organization, AAN , and looking for the opportunity to be an information conduit for the AAN leadership its members and the wider Afro-Ozzy community here in Australia and vice versa.
The AfriQan Times Australia is a start-up newspapers media (print and online) firm that provides news and information (local and international, in english and some native languages) to the Afro-Ozzy Community in Australia. The AfriQan Times will engage both young and old Africans-alike to address issues they face in Australia as well provides a platform where African migrants can showcase their contributions to the Australian society.
The ethos of the paper is not-for-profit making but a vehicle to feed the mind, a forum for Africans, African Australians and vested interested parties to share ideas and contribute to the development of Australia and the African Community’s here in Australia. We intend publish fortnightly over 30,000 copies in each edition. I strongly believe our partnership will strengthen communication and cooperation between the leadership, its member and the wider public.
