Dear Safa,

In reference to our phone call this morning,  I was wondering if you can
provide me information in the following areas:

- Core industries in Palestine, core industries in general that is, (e.g.
Stone and marble, agriculture etc.., As PITA you would be interested in how
to enhance the performance of these sectors by initiating IT based products.
For instance, has the Stone and Marble industry used any technology in
advertising their products or do they have a data base, which they use to
store their types of stone?

- Investment flows:  For instance, companies like Sun Microsystems.  How
many foreign companies of that type do we have in Palestine.  Are their
figures that show how much they spend re-engineering the Palestinian economy
or spending of any kind?  What are their capital requirements to perform?

- What are the IT resources offered in Palestine.  For instance, is there
more emphasis on the hardware or software products, basically, what is their
to offer from the aspect of IT products in relation to core industries.

If you can help me out with this information, that would be great.  I would
like to thank you so much for your time and efforts that you have so
willingly gave.

Sincerely yours,

Sa'id Omar
