Dear ____,

I was just hoping to update you on the situation with the Da Qing project.

We have been working on the Da Qing project which is both very promising and is an important first step for us in the Chinese market, and will lead the way for others in this industry in the future.

At present, the business licence of the JV has not yet been completed. It is cruicial for Da Qing in order to receive approval to proceed with this project from the government, and the client is looking for an update from us on the progress of the application. The client hopes to push forward the project ASAP so I believe that once the business licence has been approved, the project will move forward quickly without incident.

I’m really looking forward to this project progressing, and I will let you know once I have any further updates on this.

Best regards,
Thea
