ATTN.: Mr. Cameron McCaffrey.

Dear Sir,

This is to acknowledge receipt of your response to my proposal, and to give you further details of what we seek to accomplish. I appreciate that you may have other projects, exposures or solicitations, but you can trust that ours is not something that will be very demanding or contrary to the truth of my promise .

This transaction will be done in 4 phases. When the first one succeeds, we commence planning for the second, etc. For now we are starting with the smallest one in terms of volume of funds. So with time, you will see that the volume we shall be dealing with far exceeds that on your last email.
 
The people I represent are still serving Chinese civil servants, and according to the civil service regulation here in China, they are prohibited from being engaged in private overseas business while under government employment, nor can they operate business accounts. This therefore explains the need for a foreigner to be engaged in partnership with them. I preferred to deal with a foreigner of Chinese descent. Be rest assured that no aspect of your dealing with us shall expose you to a breach of the laws in any country.
 
In order to contact you, I engaged in a professional search, with specific parameters in mind, which included country of origin, age, academic background as well as social demographic elements. The search gave me four options. You are the first I have contacted, but with the intention that if you prove to be a willing and dependable partner, we will do the transaction together. Otherwise, I shall seek my pastures elsewhere.
 
The proposed investment profile is valued at the equivalent of US$250,000,000 for the first transaction only. We will not be doing all at once, but one after the successful completion of the other, due to diligence and regulatory constraints.
 
However, prior to initiating the actual procedures, it is important that we sign a Memorandum Of Understanding (M. O. U.) between us, which will be a document that will regulate our relationship with each other, particularly after the funds have been transferred into your custody. The document will acknowledge you as our Funds Manager by virtue of your maintaining temporary custody of the funds on our behalf, for investment in your country. The provisions of the M.O.U. will indicate that it is for your service that 20% of the funds are coming to you as remuneration. By that arrangement, only 20% of the total funds shall be subject to local taxes in your country. But between us, the burden of payment of that tax shall be redistributed among us in proportion to the percentage pattern of sharing the funds. In any case, I hope this compensation of 20% of the principal funds is acceptable to you.

The investment areas we will be involved with shall also be based on mutual interest. Given the fact that you would be needed to guide us based on your better knowledge of the existing investment environment over there, we shall ultimately work out terms and schedule for engagement in particular areas of interest.
 
Considering the civil service restrictions as described above, it is important that I mention the need for privacy on the subject. Exposure at this time will be contrary to our interest. So I will encourage you to keep all aspects of this transaction to yourself, as you never know that anyone will betray you until they do.
 
I presume that further questions may arise as you read this mail, I will appreciate that we address them now. Otherwise, in my next email correspondence, I shall send you a draft copy of the M.O.U. for your perusal. If you feel comfortable with the terms, then we shall adopt them. The essence of this arrangement is that whatever we shall be adopting as a binding term of engagement between us shall be based on mutual consent. Meanwhile, I have attached herewith a copy of my passport, to give you a better understanding of my person as earlier promised in my previous mail.
 
Please use this email address to communicate with me in response to this message, and until I hear from you, my warm regards go to you and your family.

Additional Clarification/ What to Expect:
As per remuneration, I offered to compensate you with 20% of the proceeds of the transaction, and everyone is getting paid as soon as we confirm that the funds have been deposited to your custody, and not before in the form of advance payment you have suggested.

I am already taking care of the expenses of running the transaction. If there was anything I see above my ability, I will tell you, and if you are willing, then we can commence. Otherwise, if it is absolutely necessary, I will look for someone else with a better attitude to the subject. There is no way anyone can be doing a transaction of this nature without spending money on one thing or the other. The good aspect now is that I already made arrangements to cover what I expect.

Now, once we sign the M.O.U., both parties can be confident in the fact that their interests will be protected by the other side. We will then file in the preliminary approvals for fund release in your favor. This will take between 4 to 8 days to accomplish, after which the Finance Ministry will assign the credit order for the payment to any of their overseas affiliated fiduciary brokers. The Fiduciary agent will then contact you, to guide you through the process, and ensure the funds get to you successfully. If you feel the M.O.U. needs any amendment, it will be most appropriate to introduce those changes now, or never.

The funds will be released to you by Barclays Offshore Bank. The process will require them to open an offshore transit account for you, which will be funded with the entitlement. Bear in mind that you will not need to travel anywhere for this to happen. Instead, you will be granted unfettered access to the funds through their Telephone banking and web network. They may also send you the bank ATM cards if necessary.
 
My plan is that when you confirm that the funds are accessible to you, I shall embark on my trip to meet with you in your country before we commence the planned investment prospects (but we will take into consideration the state of affairs relating to COVID travel restrictions).

I intend therefore to remain back here to monitor things closely, till I confirm that the funds are under your custody. That is why I insist on signing the M.O.U. before the preliminary applications for funds release are filed in. The reason I want to remain here for a while is that there are certain aspects of the transaction I cannot delegate to someone else, because of the possibility of betrayal.

So from the offshore account, you can start making online transfers to any other destination.

I hope you now appreciate the terms of the proposal, and I hope you are willing to come along with that premise. If on the contrary you do not feel inclined to this arrangement, then I may have to seek alternative partnership with someone else.

Let me have your quick comments and let us go ahead to send you the signed M.O.U., which will ensure that nobody treats the other unfairly, and none of us feels used.

Regards,

Cheung Guang.
