DCML Friends : 


Situation is not good in brazilian subsidiary of McDuck Enterprises . 
Unfortunately, Disney Comics in Brazil is in an advanced death penalty 
process. 

To understand the problem in Brazil is not difficult : Suppose  Goofy 
Athlete, and suppose he won a gold medal in last olympic games, in Greek . I 
ask for all the group : 
What happens if we, in an nonsense action, we don´t feed Goofy, 
if we don´t offer for him a good coach, if we don´t give him water, he will 
be able to win another gold medal in the next olympic games, in China ? 
It´s what we see in Brazil: a nonsense action . 

Under this situation, I decided to write for you  , and ask for all Disney 
artists : Your work actually is very good quality . Increase the quality to 
be magnificent , and demand from the Disney and Editora Abril your work 
needs to be published for brazilian readers . 

If they say, is not possible because people no more buy Disney Comics, they 
prefer japanese mangas,  it´s expensive, we are a poor country, people no 
more like classics disney characteres, it´s difficult, paper is expensive,  
we haven´t media  etc, etc,  say for him : ITS NOT THE TRUE. 
Only in the city of São Paulo, lives more than 2 millions school age people, 
and all the Brazilian territory is a giant market, with at least 30 millions 
of people  to sale Disney Comics. 
It´s only Knowhow to sale ! 

And, please, send  Scrooge Mc Duck for Brazil sooner as possible. 
I Know he are with lots of problems to resolve in Duckburg, but we need him 
personally here, to encourage their brazilian staff . 


Alexandre Saramelli 
São Paulo - Brasil 
Friend of Scrooge's accountant in brazilian subsidiary of Mc Duck 
Enterprises 
(Please, never say for him I wrote this letter, but I need to take an action 
: he is in fear of lost his job )
