Dear Colleague

My name is Joe de Courcy, the chief executive of Intelligence Research Ltd. I would like to introduce you to our Latin American Intelligence Service.

Since 1967 Latinnews (Latin American Newsletters) has been the leading independent source of political, strategic, economic, and business intelligence on Latin America. For over 40 years, Latinnews reports have been required reading for top government officials, senior executives, media commentators, and leading academics - in short, for everyone with a professional interest in Latin American affairs.

The Latinnews portfolio

The Latinnews portfolio consists of seven separate services all of which may be subscribed to individually. However, for maximum benefit we have a "full-combination" service that combines all these elements together in our Latinnews Intelligence Service (LIS).

This exclusive resource includes four additional bespoke benefits for members only:

* LIS Client Response Unit

* LIS Personal Briefings

* LIS Special Bulletins

* LIS Five-Year Forecasts

However, before I give you more details about the full benefits of the Latinnews Intelligence Service I would first like to outline the seven key elements that make up the core Latinnews portfolio.

Latinnews' seven key information resources

Latinnews provides clients with timely political and economic intelligence through seven carefully crafted services.

*** Information Resource #1 - Latinnews Daily ***

Our first commitment is to ensure that as far as humanly possible you are never caught unawares by sudden developments that could affect your vital interests, and we do this primarily through our Latinnews Daily intelligence briefing.

Every business day, Latinnews Daily provides clients with our first-take analysis on all the key political and economic developments in Latin America over the previous 24 hours.

Latinnews Daily is not a news service, it is an intelligence briefing - and by providing you with immediate analysis on all important new developments, Latinnews Daily ensures that you can quickly assimilate the implications for your organization and respond accordingly.

*** Information Resource #2 - Latin American Weekly Report ***

While our Latinnews Daily service brings you our immediate reactions to important developments in the region, our Latin American Weekly Report provides a more considered analysis of the week’s developments along with not-to-be-missed forward-looking early warning reports.

This timely and concise risk-oriented briefing analyses the key developments that could have crucial implications for your commercial, economic, political, security, or strategic interests in Latin America.

Whether you are a busy executive with important Latin American interests, a government official with responsibilities in Latin America, or a professional ‘Latam-watcher’, the Latin American Weekly Report is essential reading.

*** Information Resource #3 - Latin American Regional Reports ***

As invaluable as our daily and weekly briefings are, we also know that some clients require more in-depth coverage of particular regions - and we provide this through our series of Latin American Regional Reports.

Each week we focus in turn on one of the main sub-regions in Latin America and the Caribbean, to provide an ideal complement to the Latin American Weekly Report for those that require that extra bit of in-depth analysis.

Our Regional Reports cover:

* Mexico & Nafta
* Caribbean & Central America
* The Andean Group
* Brazil & the Southern Cone

You may subscribe to the full set of four titles or to any combination of individual Regional Reports that best suits your needs.

*** Information Resource #4 - Latin American Economy & Business ***

Latin America has long been a region of immense economic potential, but equally it has been plagued by recurring difficulties, and through our Latin American Economy & Business monthly report we ensure that our clients are always kept fully briefed on the key economic and business developments throughout the region.

Latin American Economy & Business provides detailed analysis from leading Latam-based economists and business-environment experts and the latest economic risk assessments from the Latinnews Research Centre.

*** Information Resource #5 - Latin American Special Reports ***

There are some issues that require even more detailed analysis than we can provide in our daily or weekly briefings, or even in our monthly reports, and it is these issues that we cover in our Latin American Special Reports.

These in-depth special reports are written by top experts in their field on topics of key interest, and we publish at least six a year of these comprehensive dossiers. Recent Latin American Special Reports have included:

* Latin America and the US ‘war on terror’
* Who’s competing for power in Latin America
* Debt and external vulnerability in Latin America
* Political and economic risk in Latin America

*** Information Resource #6 - Latin American Security & Strategic Review ***

Security and strategic issues are of vital importance in Latin America, and our monthly Latin American Security & Strategic Review provides in-depth and thought-provoking analysis on issues of key importance that are seldom - if ever - covered by general news sources.

In this invaluable report, Latinnews experts analyse Latin American security issues and developments, always ensuring to place them in an overall strategic perspective.

Latin American Security & Strategic Review will keep you fully briefed on the latest security and strategic developments throughout Latin America and the Caribbean region.

*** Information Resource # 7 - Latin American Monitoring Centre ***

The Latin American Monitoring Centre is our research & intelligence database - an online 24/7 facility consisting of 33 country reports. These constantly updated reports are a mix of original research and analysis together with informative background information. Each Country Report includes:

> - A General Information section on history, geography, demographics, and other essential background detail.

- A Politics section providing a full - and constantly updated - analysis of political trends in the country, with details of political parties, political leaders, recent elections and current trends in public opinion.

- A section dealing with Foreign Relations, Defence, and Security issues. This section provides background analysis - and up-to-the-minute news - on outstanding disputes, foreign policy orientation, relations with neighbours, and the country’s military strengths and weaknesses.

- A detailed analysis of internal security issues, providing background details on the protagonists and our latest assessments of the overall security environment.

- A major section dealing with the Economy, providing detailed analysis of weaknesses and strengths, full data on the shape and performance of the economy and business-environment analysis and comparisons.

- A Contacts section, which provides useful information on all the main government departments.

- Finally, a Reference Library where subscribers may access every report published by Latin American Newsletters that is relevant to that country, listed in chronological order and with a full search facility to aid easy research.

A members-only service for Latinnews' top clients

As you can see, Latinnews already produces a fully comprehensive information resource to cover the needs of everyone with a professional interest in the region. However, we are constantly looking at ways to enhance our service - to provide even better and even more comprehensive coverage of Latin America…

…and that is why we have created the Latinnews Intelligence Service.

This “members only” service includes access to all the Latinnews resources detailed above. In addition to access to the full Latinnews portfolio, this "members only" service also provides three special bespoke benefits exclusive to LIS members.

*** Special LIS Membership Benefit #1 - LIS Client Response Unit ***

One of the main added benefits you will enjoy as a member of our Latinnews Intelligence Service will be to gain direct privileged access to our senior analysts through our Client Response Unit.

All our reports are timely and accurate, but inevitably they are written with the interests of all our clients in mind - not the specific interests of individual members.

So, to make provision for these varying needs, we have set up the LIS Client Response Unit to enable members to request further elaboration or clarification on any breaking news story or on any issue raised in any LAN report.

Responses are provided by our experts with a view to meeting the client’s own individual needs.

*** Special LIS Membership Benefit #2 - LIS Personal Briefings ***

Another key component of Latinnews Intelligence Service membership is direct personal access to our Editor-in-Chief Eduardo Crawley or to our Head of Research Will Ollard for two one-to-one Personal Briefings each year.

These briefings may be conducted face-to-face in our London office or they may be conducted by telephone at each member’s convenience.

*** Special LIS Membership Benefit #3 - LIS Special Bulletins ***

Our priority is to ensure that as far as humanly possible you are never unprepared for - or caught unawares by - sudden developments in Latin America, and this is why all Latinnews publications and information resources are forward-looking and predictive.

But of course, even with the best will in the world, we cannot anticipate every crucial development. So when the unexpected does happen, we make sure we are there for Intelligence Service members, instantly.

Whenever a major unexpected crisis erupts in Latin America, we hold an emergency meeting of our in-house research team, contact our on-the-spot sources in the region, and produce a full background briefing and “situation report” for LIS members.

Your Latinnews Intelligence Service 40%-off introductory rate

As you can see, membership to our Latinnews Intelligence Service really does provide what it promises: a fully comprehensive, up-to-the-minute intelligence resource on Latin America…

… and I would like to offer you the opportunity to gain all these benefits, including the four special bespoke services reserved solely for LIS members, all at a special 40%-off introductory rate.

Better still, we have created two levels of membership in order to ensure that we meet everyone’s needs. Level 1 includes our Latinnews Daily briefing, while Level 2 includes all Latinnews services except the daily briefing.

Both Level 1 and Level 2 membership include all FOUR bespoke benefits: access to the LIS Client Response Unit, LIS Personal Briefings, LIS Special Bulletins, and the LIS Five-Year Forecasts.

And remember, whichever level of membership you choose, you will receive your 40% introductory discount.
