尊敬的先生（女士）:
首先请允许我们向你们表示最诚挚的问候!
中国浙江省绍兴市是中国历史文化名城,中国优秀旅游城市,中国投资硬环境40优城市和中国城市经济30强之一。
绍兴袍江工业区是浙江省开发建设规模最大的工业区，是绍兴市以高新技术产业为主导的现代化工业新城区和绍兴中心城市四大组团之一。规划到2006年建成区面积100平方公里，人口20万人，建设外商投资园区、电子信息、生物医药、传统产业升级园区等四大产业园区和为城市综合配套的中心商贸区。重点发展电子信息、生物医药、食品饮料、轻纺升级等高新技术产业。
工业区呈现良好的开发势头，主要得益于自身的三大优势：
一、优越的地理位置：工业区位于国内人口最密集、经济发展最快、社会购买力最强的长江三角洲南翼，西临杭州，东接宁波，北隔杭州湾与上海相望，交通优势明显。工业区地处沪杭甬高速公路绍兴入口处，距上海2小时车程，距杭州国际机场20公里。工业区坚持"高起点规划、高品位建设、高效能管理"的开发原则，目前一期规划建成区45平方公里的市政配套工程已实现"八通一平"， 各类基础设施能满足投资项目的需要。此外，工业区依托绍兴老城区以及新区的城市配套功能，各类公共服务设施完善，社会生活秩序良好，人居环境十分优越。
 二、优惠的投资政策：绍兴作为沿海经济发达地区，举全市之力，为进入袍江工业区的投资商提供多项优惠政策。一是用地优惠：对外商投资项目以每平方米6-10美元优惠出让。二是财政扶持：对外商投资项目五年内所缴纳税收工业区分成部分，前两年全额予以财政扶持，第三年至第五年50%予以财政扶持。对外商独资超300万美元的企业或中外合资外方实际投资超300万美元的企业，工业区分成部分前五年予以全额财政扶持；第六年至第十年50%予以财政扶持。三是收费减免：对外商独资项目实施税外无费制，即除国家规定应缴的税收外，其它行政性收费均由袍江工业区管委会代缴或免缴。
三、优质的投资服务：工业区管委会作为绍兴市政府的派出机构，履行市级管理职能。工业区始终以"亲商、帮商、安商、富商"为己任，专门设立投资服务中心，实行"一个中心审批、一个楼层办公、一个窗口对外、一个口子收费、一人代理报批"和"规定日办毕、全天候值班、宾馆式服务"的运作机制，竭诚为客商提供优质高效的服务。
 "选择袍江就是选择希望，投资袍江就是投资未来"。
