Introduction wrong font used, Prefer Times New Roman 12
Mr. Moto is a Japanese businessman from KKD, an auto parts supplier who are looking at expanding into the United States. In order to do so, they need to hire a US building contractor. After a year and a half of research, KKD has chosen to use Allmack because of their superior delivery system, architects, and suppliers of raw materials. Moto became very uncomfortable with the attitude and climate of the meeting when meeting with Mr. Cromwell, the President of Allmack, and George Kubushevsky for the first time, especially while exchanging business cards. During the next few weeks, while he was chauffeured around by Kubushevsky, Moto and he went out for a drink and they began to open up and talk about their families and hope for the future. From that time on, Moto and Kubushevsky were a team, often going out to bars and meeting new people. When Kubushevsky had moved away and Moto was closing the deal with Allmack, he noticed how the lawyer, Sue Smith, had prepared extensively for the case. It was at that time he understood how much he had learned and grown from moving and working in the United States, meeting Kubushevsky, and working with Crowell. Good intro with focus for the reader
