the Ministry of Justice here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the 
former contractor to you. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you 
be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 30% of the$26.5 
million,60% for us and 5% for taxation and Miscellaneous expenses and while balance 5% will go to 
charity organization.

The business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and

this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me
