Dear Sir, Dear Madam,
First of all, I would like to apologize for not being able to fulfill your request on time.
I had multiple reasons for not sending you my tobacco :
- the shipping price would have been expensive
- the means of payment were uncertain
- the bank would have taken a percentage of the money you would have paid me
and last but not least, it wasn't even sure that you would get the tobacco due to the US custom office.
Second, I'm glad to tell you you won't have to face any of those problems above. The Manil Semois Tobacco products will be available in the US.
You shall buy it directly from the United States.
We are, me and my American partner, currently waiting the TTB approval to sell my unique tobacco oversea. It shall be accepted soon.
So it is with a great pleasure that I'm writing this e-mail to inform you to be ready to taste an old Belgium tobacco.
Yours faithfully
Vincent Manil

So it seems that Semois ordering problems will soon be over and everyone will have a chance to taste this authentic tobacco.
