I am writing to inquire about an eletronic copy or link to a generic
manufacturing agreement that I may modify. I previously introduced myself as a
developing new business in San Francisco importing softgood products from
Southeast
Asia. These products will be manufacturered for me using my designs and
specifications. I am planning to use the Agreement as a guideline rather than a
legal device considering the location of my manufacturer.

Yes, as a legal device it may even backfire, alienating the potential
supplier with your hard intent. Since every deal is unique, it may be better to
simply memorialize every step and discussion, and then send your notes as a
letter
to your partner with the tag line "if this does not meet with your
understanding, please let me know." Silence usually means agreement so if all
you say
goes unremarked then it is pretty strong basis as the rules of the game, in
this game.

Now, we who are raised in USA expect far more formal and rigid instruments,
but the resat of the world tends to be more flexible in matters creative and
initial like ours.

So personally i've never used a template, just keep good notes and write them
up. Who, what where when why, and date it.
