You have an impressive background on your profile. I am hoping to find someone with an honest opinion have a look at the products I designed and manufactured and whether you think these products have any commercial future. I am, as many others trying to look for avenues to promote our range and will therefore be gratefull if you could take the time to look at some of our products at my EFF profile and give me your honest opinion on them. Maybe if you have any advice or contacts on someone that may be interested in buying this would be an added bonus for me.
Warm regards

I trust you are well.

Merry Christmas.
