I have edited and proofed text, as per following: You wrote:
Be part of our rapid expansion and JOIN the Club with priority entry." I think
"Be part of
" was too direct and not polite. I changed it to "We
invite you to be part
" Do you agree? Please proofread and edit again the entire
following text. |

I agree with your polite rephrasing. In the first paragraph I
see you decided to expand on the phrase "business communities". I removed
"etc." because it is a catchall end tag that de-emphasizes, and I substituted
commas for each solidus (slash) to give each group separate recognition. |

Re: Etc
If we do not write etc., then the membership is
limited to Importers, Exporters, Manufacturers and Trading Companies, which I do not want.
We have members who are lawyers, tax consultants and business management writers. My idea
of including etc. is for those type of non-Importers, Exporters, Manufacturers. Either I
take out completely Importers, Exporters, Manufacturers and Trading Companies or add
something else. "Join the Club Today" will underline the necessity of joining
immediately and secondly act as a rationale for the word "priority". |

Editors Final Response
Excellent! The term "Business Professionals"
includes all of these individual members. The last seven words are honest and upfront; you
are not trying to puff up and con people by implying only they are privy to
"priority" membership. |
