[AmirAli Lalji]

Stacy, I am interested in helping LPI to start an affiliate in 
Portugal.  The only issue is that I am not Portuguese and as such dont 
speak much Portuguese.  

I work in Lisbon as an IT Consultant so I know a few companies and 
people (mainly IT) with whom I can speak and get the ball rolling but I 
think (correct me if I am wrong) a  Portuguese person would be more 
suitable.

Stacy, if you or anyone else on the list knows any Portuguese IT people 
who would be willing to help than I can contact them and get things started.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Amir

I don't believe in them!).   We are working *specifically* to take on additional Affiliates with greater efficiency and effectiveness over the next few months.  If you are interested in helping us in Portugal, email me and I will get you started.
