Expressions of interest

From time to time I receive emails from organisations asking me to submit class proposals for their upcoming event. Usually these are greeted by me with great excitement as I think of all the possibilities.

Well, this morning I received a more unusual request for an expression of interest. It was on behalf of “the Libya Government”. 🙂

Following the successful transition of a new Libya Government and the announcement of investments in several infrastructure and construction projects, Libya has become a desirable country to invest in. Kindly advise if your company has the license or capability to execute a mutil million contract supply project for the Government of Libya. If your answer is yes, kindly furnish me your response. Thank you and treat very urgent. Due to numerous emails received in my official email, Please for my quick response to your email, send your reply to both private email: (email address removed) and Official email: (email address removed) for my urgent attention

My family and I have been dreaming up ideas I could submit to them. The Reader suggested an embroidered train. The Husband suggested I could knit them a road. The Gymnast suggested a knitted and embroidered bus. I think they’re not thinking big enough.

I think that we could applique a whole network of roads across the whole country. We could build bus stops and train stations from needlelace. I’m thinking libraries, schools and hospitals, decorated with colourful embroidery and crochet, and hand woven curtains instead of doors.

What else do you think I should put in my proposal? It’s worth millions of dollars, so it is definitely worth me putting in a submission, don’t you think?! 😉
