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 )
