Re: Management and organization proposal The 1st Annual Miss Drag USA Pageant
SLICK LIVING EVENTS, is ambitious to bring forth our proposal to manage and organize The
1st Annual Miss Drag Queen USA Pageant event to be held at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
The purpose of the Miss Drag Queen USA Pageant is to give fifty men a chance to compete in a
beauty queen style pageant otherwise dominated by woman. The mission is to provide fun, food
and laughter as we come together to support and cheer on the men as they transform into their
beautiful alter egos.
SLICK LIVING EVENTS is in a position to provide first rate product and services that would
supersede the expectations of the clients, sponsors, attendees and create an event to remember.
With this cover letter we enclose herewith the proposal that outlines the details and management
plans for drag queen pageant for your perusal. In this proposal, event specifications, event
description, menu selection and the floor will be discussed.
Details regarding the event tentative, cost and other related matters will follow should we come to
an agreement during the preliminary discussion. Looking forward with an invitation to produce an
oral presentation in the near future. If you should have any questions, concerned or comments
regarding the abovementioned matter, please do not hesitate to contact the underneath.
Kind Regards,
Yolasthenia Francois
Project Manager
