Haytham -
Thank you for sending this over. It sounds very interesting, however, I am already committed on both of those dates. I also now understand why you needed to know asap. I will start sending the intro email to you shortly to Andrew Mohr who I mentioned to you. Btw, I really do appreciate your willingness to help. If you can think of anyone you know from the military Navy, USMC or working as a civil servant in the government who works in a decision making role in Information Technology, those are the kind of contacts that would be valuable for me. I am going to try and re-work my schedule for Thursday evening so I can make the social/mixer/contact meeting at the DC City Club. Is that the right name? Hope your day went well btw, if it makes you feel better it was overcast at the end of the day. (smile)
Take care -

HE Ali Bin Fahad Al-Hajri, Ambassador of the State of Qatar, is honored to invite you to the Business and Investment in Qatar Forum to be held in New York City from April 6th-7th, 2011.

Enclosed, please find an invitation and tentative agenda.

Background Information:
Situated in the heart of the Arabian Gulf, the State of Qatar is at strategically located meeting point between east and west. Geographically, the State of Qatar is about the size of the state of Connecticut.
