Dear Sir/Madam,
Oulu Chocolate Society is a small and rather new gathering of people who
like chocolate. You can read about us in English on page
http://www.suklaayhdistys.com/english.php although the site is more than 99%
in Finnish, I'm afraid (since we only operate in Finland).
What we do is that we get together in monthly meetings, eat chocolates (bars
or other forms) and then write short reviews about the products and publish
them on our website:
http://www.suklaayhdistys.com/testit.php (select a
manufacturer from the list on the left side)
Even if we only operate in Finland, we are still interested in chocolates
around the world (Europe to start with). However, there aren't really that
many foreign chocolates available in Finland and I myself have absolutely no
clue what the most popular chocolates are in other countries. This is where
you come in.
I am interested in getting foreign chocolates from around the world (maybe
mainly Europe to start with), but I don't have that many friends abroad who
could send chocolates to me. I need help from people who are interested in
helping me. Let me just explain how I am planning this:
- You send me chocolate, I send you money (euros only) or vice versa
- Postal costs will of course be paid by me
- I am currently NOT interested in finding the best chocolate in the world,
but the most popular ones that "the masses" eat
- I'm trying to find out what sort of chocolates are most popular in other
countries, and how they compare to the Finnish taste
- I would only require help randomly, maybe just once/country
- I would need to be convinced of your reliability before I would send money
(this would most likely be the hard part, and I understand that you would
also require this before sending me chocolate)
- No one will get rich by contacting me, we're dealing with small sums of
money. The main thing is the love of chocolate.
If anyone would be interested about this idea of mine, please contact me
using the form on page
http://www.suklaayhdistys.com/english.php
I will get back to you by email as soon as possible. Unfortunatelly mu
language skills are limited to english, finnish and swedish.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Jarkko Karhunen
President
Oulu Chocolate Society
