Dear Hunter,

Thank you for your message.

I wanted to respond quickly between two flights and recommend reaching out to Philippe Bouyoux and Philippe Yvergniaux, who are copied to this email.

Philippe Bouyoux is the head of the Economic Department at the Embassy. Philippe Yvergniaux is the head of the Invest in France Agency in the U.S. As such, they will be more knowledgeable on French markets and the business environment than I.

I hope this is helpful, and Sophie and I look forward to seeing you and Kathleen soon.

Best,

Francois

Dear Ambassador,

I hope all is well.  The State visit seemed to be a great success- I was proud to be included in the dinner and to have had the chance to meet President Hollande.  I don't remember if I had the opportunity to mention that my business partner has a personal relationship with Ben Jenkins (info below) whom is in the midst of an attempted acquisition of TDF France (info below).  We are assisting Ben informally by helping him to gain different perspectives as he goes through his due diligence process.  I was hoping to get a few minutes of your time to introduce you to Ben.  He wanted to speak to you about the acquisition simply to gain your thoughts and broaden his understanding of the deal.  If you had any time (a rare commodity) in the next few weeks it would be much appreciated.  Please give Sophie my regards, and I look forward to seeing you soon.  
Best, Hunter
