Hi Sheila

I'm based in Egypt and work with event planners in the UK and US (not being local really shouldn't be an issue for you). You'd be surprised at the amount of work event planners have to outsource - whether it be sourcing a venue, creating an RSVP list and collating the replies, typing up agendas and so on and so forth.

Good luck with writing your introductory letter; it's that all-important first impression!
