Dear friends of the network, breeders, producers and marketers of products in alpaca,
I write to you with the greatest of respect and I ask in advance for your understanding for having to share with you a personal situation.
In November 2013, the Peruvian company, Cusco Stores SRL, a locally family owned business in Cusco, exported products to an Australian company, Choobie Wool Australian Pty Ltd (ABN No. 97 163 241 094). This company was registered with the Australian taxation department to an Australian / Asian business man, Hock Guan Ong.
The exported products received by Mr Ong were worth US$98,000. Mr Ong transferred three instalments to Cusco Stores SRL, totalling the amount of US$40,000. As to date the balance of US$58,000 is still outstanding from Mr Ong. The bank has since refinanced Cusco Stores SRL with inflated interest, greater than 50%. Unable to make the payments, the bank foreclosed and auctioned our family home. With no capital or bank credit, my family and twenty-five other families of employees have been left in a distressed situation.
Cusco Stores SRL has not been able to operate without capital for the last 8 years and I have not been able to manage or work as a business professional. Additionally, my career prospects are limited to working for government departments only, due to my age.
As to date there has been no investigation or help from the Peruvian or Australian governments in this matter, which has led me to a most uncomfortable option. To explore a request from long term business relationships with companies in the production and export of handmade products, mostly in Alpaca.
I am appealing to the generosity of fellow company owners in the similar industry to unite with us through:
a) Financial support; working capital and the employment of 25 families would re-establish the company.
b) Partnering; having a share of the company.
c) Invest working capital; the production of products and selling products in respective countries, such as: USA, China, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and others.
d) Exclusive investor; invest with working capital, receiving the benefits and interest for the invested money.
e) Finally, friends, what we want is to have a working capital to reopen our workshop and we propose to make purchases, only that we will make the shipments after 3 months, we want to work and perhaps not receive gifts, please help us.
There are many people trying to navigate through these unprecedented times of COVID 19, however, help and support from you in this sensitive situation would be greatly appreciated. For more information please visit our page: https://www.facebook.com/cuscostores
Thank you for your attention and God bless you
