Re: Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin

Dear Judge Scola

I, Hilda Carmen Fermin de Urbano, Venezuelan, married for 30 years to Carlos Enrique

Urbano S6nchez, who died in 2000, may he rest in peace, and whom I formed a family of 4

children with, whose names are: Carlos Enrique, currently 50 years old, Carlos Eduardo,

currently 48 years old, Carlos Esteban, currently 45 years old, and Carlos Ernesto, who died in

2003 due to a traffic accident. I worked as a teacher from 1967 to 1994, in Barcelona,

Anzoifiegui State, Venezuela and my husband worked at the Colgate and Palmolive company as

a salesman, from I975 to 1987, and later at the Unilever company during 3 years until 1989.

With the fruits of our work and efforts, we were able to establish a butcher shop, where we also

sold cheese and various products. In 1995, we formed a company called Servicios y Suministros

Especializados Urbano Firmin, S.A (SYSEUFSA), whose purpose was the sale and distribution

of construction materials, which was managed by my husband and my children.

Additionally, they managed the "La Palmita" farm that initially belonged to my husband's

father and that he inherited, continuing with the farm's activities such as raising cattle and pigs,

planting com, cotton, etc. After the death of my husband, my children assumed the management

of both the company and the farm; this was not a difficult task for them since they had been

working together for a long time before they were left without a father.

My children took on the work that it represented to keep alive what their father had built

with great responsibility and soon they undertook the formation of other companies with my

absolute approval. Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin, was a boy of good behavior and an excellent

student. He graduated from high school at 15 years old in 1986, and later he graduated as a

lawyer in 2000 at the Santa Maria University, located in Barcelona, Anzodtegui State,

Venczuela, while always working with his brothers. 1n2004 we formed several companies

called Constructora Urbano Fermin, C.A, Agroindustrial La Fundadora C.A. and Transporte

Urbano Fermin, C.A. In 2007, we acquired our farm "La Panchita" carrying out the same

activities related to livestock and sowing of Corn, Sorghum, among others. Businesses that they

developed with great responsibility and dedication, continuing with the same purpose of growing

as a human being, always with respect for their workers and sharing teachings for them and

many people.

Carlos Enrique and his two brothers grew accustomed to having a strong work rhythm

and they became honest men with a lot of responsibility. They never had a job rupture between

them but rather growth at work and each one of them managed to perform in their individual area

while staying together in their companies with good behavior.

I, Hilda Carmen, as the mother of Carlos Enrique, give faith and testimony that he was a

child with good behavior, a good student, he grew up as an adolescent and adult without any bad

habits. As a human being and an individual, he wanted to achieve goals for his life and be an

example for his family, always thinking about the legacy left by his father. It fills me with great

pride to be his mother and to continue with him and his brothers along with each of their

families. Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin is excellent as a son, brother, husband, father, uncle and

friend, always dedicated to his work and will always remain that way with only God guiding him

in every minute of his life, and will continue to be amarof responsibility with his wife and his

daughters. I admire him, I feel proud of him and his brothers, and as a mother, I bless them that

he is always a very successful person in his life.

Sincerely,

Hilda Fermin de Urbano

Re: Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin

Dear Judge Scola:

My name is Rosa Yslanda. I am 50 years old and I am from Venezuela.I moved to the

United States four years ago under a F-l visa, to improve my English knowledge and pursue an

Associates' degree in Real Estate. I now reside at 11693 Savona Way, Orlando, FL, 32827.I

have been married to Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin since December 18, 1999. We met while

we were both in Law School at the Santa Maria University, located in the Lecheria, Anzo6tegui,

Venezuela and from where we satisfactorily graduated in 2000. As a matter of fact, this year we

will be celebrating 22happy years of maniage, during which we built a family together with two

daughters, 2I and 17 years old respectively. We have always remained very close, so I do not

hesitate to affirm that he is an honest, hard-working, responsible and faithful man. I know him to

be an excellent father, honorable husband, good son, supportive brother, and good friend. My

husband, Carlos Enrique, has worked as a businessman and administrator of the farm estate that

he inherited from his late father Carlos Enrique Urbano Sanchez, who I am sure would have been

proud to see him accomplish everything he has done so far. He has always been in charge of a

large quantity of employees, whom he has always treated as a big family. In fact, even before his

father death, it had become a tradition to host a celebration to recognrze the employees, their

families, and the whole community where they had their business located at. Every year, the

family would hand out Christmas gifts to the children, food and medicines to adults and elders,

and many other types of donations, without any other purpose than trying to give back the hard

work and support the employees had put in throughout the year. However, all of his good actions

do not shadow the fact that I am fully aware of the process my husband is currently facing before

the United States Justice System. I want to let him and every party interested know that he counts

with my full support and that I belief that the charges he is being accused of had the only purpose

of protecting a lifetime of hard work.

Re: Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin

Dear Judge Scola:

I am Carhil Urbano. I am2l years old and I am natively from Venezuela.I moved to the

United States right after graduating high school, four years ago, to continue my higher education.

I recently graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor's degree in Business

Administration. Under the one year OPT that my F-l Visa provides me, I am currently working

at SunTrust Now Truist as a Service Specialist in the Digital Support department. I state this to

highlight the important pilar that my father, Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin, has been throughout

all the process that moving out of your home country and building a new life while working

towards achieving your goals represent. Ever since I can remember, my dad has always been the

one eager to spoil me, see me happy, and the one who has been the proudest when I reach a

milestone in my life. It did not have to even be a big moment in our lives for him to celebrate and

enjoy moments with us, it was more about the little moments. I vividly remember every night of

my child and teenage years that my dad would get home from work, he would knock at the door

and every time either one of us asked, he would say something funny so that he could hear us

laugh through the door. Right after he would greed us with a hug that lifted us off of our feet, and

I can remember how safe that moment made me feel. I looked forward to it every single day. He

has worked hard to make sure my sister, my whole family, and I are proud of him and what his

values are. This last part he has always been strict and firm about, and that is the importance of

growing up with established values and principles. He would never let my sister or myself

deviate from what he taught us was right and good for ourselves. His humility and generosity

values are the ones that have always inspired me. It did not matter how classy and fancy the

place could be, my dad would always greed and treat everybody the same. When we lived in

Venezuela, one of my favorite things to do was to go to work with my parents, they were the

owners so they had the priviledge of some days bringing me with them. I used to love those days

because as soon as we arrived to the office, everybody would start telling me stories about my

dad and how he had helped them or something furury he had done the past days. Anybody that

talked to his employees could feel the love, appreciation and respect they had for him. In those

moments, I wanted to be just like him when I grew up. Now, as an adult, I still strive every single

day to be like my father and to improve in the things he could have, as it is known, nobody is

perfect. Because I am aware of that, and the long legal process he and we as a family have been

going through for the past four years of our lives, I want to reiterate the love and support I feel

for my father, Carlos Enrique. I believe in him and his intentions of only wanting to maintain and

protect what he had worked for his whole life and what would have been his children heritage.

to the United States in August of 2017 .I am a student at the University of Central Florida

pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Economics, under anF-2 visa. My father Carlos Enrique Urbano

Fermin represents a fundamental pillar in my family. He always supports me in all my extracurricular activities. I currently practice tennis and CrossFit, and many times it is necessary to

travel outside of Orlando for competitions and I always count with his unconditional support, not

to mention that for him my education and professional development has always been a priority.

Since my childhood, my father has focused on working very hard so that he could be able to

provide everything my mom, my sister and I needed. Mainly, he has instilled in me essential

values for my formation. I grew up in an environment where generosity plays an important role.

Many times, I witnessed meetings with employees and their children where we shared despite

social class differences and I could see in their faces the happiness of receiving a gift from our

hands as a token of appreciation. My father's treatment to others has always been framed within

respect. The concept of providing help to those in need is essential. I am very proud to be his

Dear Judge Scola:

I, Gustavo Jos6 Barreto Zerpa, Venezuelan, of legal age, holder of Identity Card No. V10,978,566, by profession Bachelor of Administration, Regular Professor of the Universidad de

los Llanos Juana Ramirez, with construction-related trades civil and livestock; domiciled in the

El Amparo urbanization, tower 5, floor I, apartment2B, city of Valle de la Pascua, Gu6rico state,

Venezuela, Postal Code 2350; I hereby allow myself to indicate that I know the citizen Carlos

Enrique Urbano Fermfn, and I can attest to the public that he is a businessman dedicated with

determination to the productive development of the country, demonstrated -in my case- in the

shared participation in the construction of a commercial center (currently paralyzed),the

installation of a premixed plant in society and various genetic improvement works in cattle for

more than 17 years.

It should be noted that his participation in the activities mentioned above generate

important income to the nation for registering all in the transformation of raw materials, sector

that dynamizes fiscal taxation and generates jobs more than the other economic sectors. For

approximately 12 years, we participated in the planting of corn and sorghum for human and

animal consumption, in addition to its transformation into a medium-sized concentrated animal

feed plant for self-consumption.

I can also highlight his philanthropic career with various civil groups of a sports and

humanitarian nature, where he has always responded with support to baseball, basketball and

soccer clubs, as well as medicines, surgical medical supplies, and food assistance to low-income

communities.

In addition to the above; I want to highlight his support for the cattle community of the

Northeast of Guarico, where he has been a fundamental pillar in the genetic improvement

program, which seeks to encourage the transformation of the old and unproductive Venezuelan

herd, by animals of high standards in dairy and meat performance, through the promotion,

donation and scientific-technical support in the introduction of the American Brahman, Gyr

Lechero and Girolando breeds, with which, great advances were achieved in the agricultural

units of the region. His participation and triumph in the most important fairs in the country,

including those governed by the Association of Cebu Cattle Breeders of Venezuela (ASOCEBU

VENEZUELA, where for three consecutive years he obtained the most important awards.

Finally, his attachment to family values and principles is remarkable; being a responsible

father with his three children, wife and mother, with whom he always shares sports, gastronomic,

social, and cultural activities, as well as with his brothers, Eduardo and Esteban, with whom - I

know - he makes up an excellent work team, one in the engineering area and another in

agricultural production; Likewise, personally, we bond with a degree of friendship such that

relationships were generated between our families where consanguineous and affective

boundaries are amalgamated. Therefore, I reiterate my most profound, most transparent, and

heartfelt words to a friend who, I am sure, will know how to forge a family, ethical and moral

heritage wherever he is.

Anzodtegui state, Venezuela, with current address in Terrazas del puerto IV tower 3, apartment

de Urbano, educator, and Mr. Carlos Enrique Urbano S6nchez, businessman, with whom I

maintain ties of affinity. This bond of affinity is sanguine and religious, since he is my cousin,

brother, godson and godfather of my third daughter, who loves him as if he were his own father.

He has known how to understand and pamper her, for this reason my daughter who is a

professional doctor respects him, loves him and admires him as a second father.

Carlos is the son of my mother's only brother, for this reason I know him since he was

born. When he was a child, he lived in the house of our grandparents, where he spent his

childhood with his family, since we all gathered to spend time together in said residence. Over

time, his father and mother acquired their own house and moved to another sector, with good

neighbors. A sector of good people and without any kind of bad habits, said residence was close

to our grandparents'house, where he ended growing up and becoming a respectful teenager

without any kind of bad habits, but instead as hard working and good student young man.

His merchant father taught him to work in the farm from a very young age, where he

learned the trade and the insemination of cattle, thus forming a company from which he would

help his family and many people, providing them with services such as medicines and food. This

is to be admired in a person who, without hunger or selfishness, helped whoever he could (a

living example of his father). He then finished his law studies where he did very well as a

student.

He is a person who likes to take care of everyone, his children, wife, mother, aunts,

uncles and cousins. The degree of affinity or sentiments I feel towards him and his brothers is

very great, so much so that my wife and children love him for being such a good person. The

truth is that I am falling short in saying what kind of person and family he is. May God bless him

and protect him forever.

am 56 years old, I work as a businesswoman. I reside in Nueva Esparta State, Diaz

Municipality, San Juan Bautista Sector, Venezuela. I have known Carlos Enrique Urbano

Fermin from the moment of his birth, he is my eldest nephew, son of my brother-in-law Carlos

Enrique Urbano Sdnchez and Hilda De Urbano Fermin my elder sister.

My nephew Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin has worked since he was little, I remember

when he was 10 years old and came to visit the family in Nueva Esparta State, Venezuela, he

went to porlamar with his uncle Oswaldo Fermin to work as a packer at a supermarket called

.CADA'. At that time, he wanted to save money to be able to buy his toys and his personal

items. His dad worked with Palmolive and Colgate, and they brought orders for soap and

detergent to hotels, and he helped him dispatch the products. I also remember that they bought

melon and watermelon and went out in a truck to sell them on the streets, and he never felt

ashamed of getting into that truck and shouting, "We have melon, watermelon, tomatoes and

avocado".

With their sacrifice and hard work, they were able to buy a farm called 'La Palmita'.

Carlos Enrique, my nephew, planted squash and com, and after the harvest was given, he would

go out to sell it. He loved being in the field, little by little they began to raise pigs, cattle, horses

and other animals. He has always been a very courageous and resilient boy. At that time, he was

not focused on playing or having fun, the only thing he did was work very hard and study.

During one period, they bought the bags where the sugar was packaged and took them to

Barcelona, Venezuela. When they had to clean those bags, I would watch my nephew full of

sugar molasses and his body shone from the sweat of so much work. He also worked buying and

selling cheese, until he managed to have a butcher shop with a lot of effort and the support of his

father. They even used to go to the farm to cut wood and then sell it, he did not care about the

date or time, he was always working.

After a while they managed to found a company, were they sold wood, bags and

construction materials. He has always been an honest, hard-working, fighter, supportive and

humble boy. He worked to help the family and many people around him, he was involved in

doing social work for the most needed people in the sector they lived. They threw children and

party and gave toys, and they gave the elderly bags of food. All the family gathered to make

them cakes, meals, and drinks to donate in social work and he was very happy to do those things

for those people. These are the memories and anecdotes that I have of my nephew, Carlos

Enrique Urbano Fermin, I remember him as a very hard-working, honest, humble, fighter and a

good-hearted man.

Dear Judge Scola:

I am Yolanda Urbano S6nchez, Venezuelan, of legal age, holder of identity card No.

I,154,479, domiciled in the lJrbanization, Bosque Residencial el Ingenio, house number 30131,

Barcelona, Bolivar municipality of the Anzofitegui State, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, I

used to be an educator and I hereby certifu that I know Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin since he

was born in I971r He is son of my brother Carlos Enrique Urbano S6nchez and Hilda Carmen

Fermin de Urbano, my great sister-in-law.

Today, dear nephew, Carlos Enrique Urbano, I am turning 85 years old, and so many

beautiful memories of this family come to my mind. Especially the happy childhood of my

nephews that have been the most precious gift that my brother Carlos left us. From a very young

age he instilled in them values for them to study, work, and taught them to love family,

neighbors, and principles like partnership and that special gift of helping others in their needs. I

am proud of you, beloved nephew, exemplary son, loving and devoted husband and father.

When you were young, you dedicated yourself to studying and working, achieving your

goal of becoming a lawyer, while working tirelessly. You raised the farm that your father left

you, fulfilling projects related to agriculture and livestock, and becoming very successful, might

I add.

In this evoke of memories that come to my mind, I remember how since he was little, he

went with my brother to work, with joy to the farm, and always in that desire to improve and that

constant motivation to improve. They worked very hard in the butcher shop and from that hard

work was born 'syseufsa', once again their efforts materialized, and always ready to help others,

creating sources of work and always looking to benefit their workers and the community.

Every December, they gave toys for children and delivered bags of food to the elderly,

both to the workers of the farm as all the ones from the company.

I see the values that are being transmitted to their daughters, who are fortunate to have a

loving, respectful, responsible, hardworking parents. Together with his wife, they have created a

beautiful home, full of mutual respect, and partnership for their daughters. Always taking care of

all of your aunts, transmitting love, affection. I will always be grateful not only for taking care of

us but for always sending us those sacks of corn to make the 'cachapas' we all love.

I hope that the tests that life has put on you, you find a way to overcome. May God and

the Virgin accompany you and enlighten the path to follow.

Re: Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin

Dear Judge Scola:

I, Marybel Del Valle Rojas Diaz, of Venezuelan nationality, bearer of identity card No.

V-9,428,145, 52 years old, residing on the Island of Margarita San Juan Bautista, Nueva Esparta

state, working as an independent public accountant, I hereby certiff that Carlos Enrique Urbano

Fermin is my eldest nephew, son of my elder sister, Hilda Carmen Fermin, widow of Urbano,

and Carlos Enrique Urbano S6nchez. For me, more than a nephew, I consider him my brother,

since I was basically raised by his mother. We are almost the same age, and we grew up together.

I respect and admire Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin for his great human qualities and for

being a hardworking man since a very young age. He has worked a lot, without rest, to achieve

his dreams and help others who are most in need regardless of if they are family or not.

Since he was a child, his parents, especially his father, instilled in them a love for work,

honesty, and loyalty. In their vacations, when they came to the island of Margarita, where his

maternal family lived, he used to enjoy them working with his father who used to bring a truck,

which they gave the name of 'Catalina', loaded with squash and corn which they harvested on

their farm called 'La Panchita'. They sold their harvest on the island and on their way back they

left loaded with a watermelon to sell in Barcelona.

He also worked as a packer with his uncle Oswaldo Fermin at avery well-known

supermarket chain in Venezuela called 'CADA Supermarkets'. That was how he enjoyed his

vacations, working, because that was what his passion since very early on. They also went out to

sell meat, cheese, sacks, all of this while studying until he became a professional as a lawyer.

lllargarita 5an Juan Bautista

Nueva Esparta, Venezuela

My sister is a retired educator, as their father, she also instilled in them good principles

and love for studies and work. With her retirement money, I remember she bought them a truck

so that they could work selling wood. Their father worked, for many years, in well-known

transnational companies such as Colgate, Palmolive and Unilevel.

Over the years, due to their dedication, effort, and perseverance, they built their

companies during the 1980's and they rented a place where they set up a butcher shop, selling

charcuterie, general provisions, among others. Then, around 1995 -1996 they opened

'SYSEUFSA' company, where alarge part of the family worked because their motto was to help

us and to always be united. That is where they obtained the majority of their benefits out of

sacrifice and hard work while they continued with their farm raising pigs and cattle, harvesting

squash, corn, and making cheese. And thus, they were getting ahead with honest work and

sacrifice of many years.

Every December, they had a tradition of giving smiles to the children and the elderly by

giving them toys and a bag of food; that was a great satisfaction for the whole family.

ln20l5I decided to go to work with them and work as a consultant since my daughter

lived with them in Barcelona because she was studying medicine at Universidad de Oriente. I

worked as an accountant in a work environment with harmony, respect, discipline, responsibility,

organization and coordination. Finally, I can only say that Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin is an

excellent father, excellent son, excellent brother, excellent grandson, excellent nephew, excellent

human being. His humility has no limits, he is a loyal man, honored with beautiful feelings and

whenever we have needed him he has been present in every moment of our lives.

good men and women. But of all the members of my family, the bond that I have created with

Carlos Enrique Urbano is that of Father-Daughter. I am proud to have him by my side, that I can

count on his advice and that he continues to be an important pillar in my learning. He has taught

me to speak the truth, to be humble and recognize my mistakes and successes, to get up after

falling, to go through risks with the hope to achieve goals, but above all he has taught me the

importance of loving family with my heart. He has been one of the people who has supported

me the most in my life. There's nothing my uncle won't support me on. Apart from my parents,

he is the porson who knows me the best, to whom I cannot lie.

Talking about my uncle fills my chest with pride, I listen to every wise word he says, I

admire his ability to help others, even if he is not in the best economic moment. Every friend

and acquaintance of him knows that he will be there for them in a difficult time. I admire his

dedication to work, perfection is his most important characteristic. His memory is incredible, he

can remember everything, and his calculation ability is outstanding. He has a brilliant mind' a

kind and noble heart.

I have many memories of my uncle, he was and is overprotective, I remember that when I

graduated, he told me that I must always treat the people under my charge with respect, humility'

and that to learn from each one of them. Sundays are not to rest but to work in the farm' He has

even taught me about cattle business, a surgeon who knows about cows' I have learned through

him to forgive those who hurt me, because the most important thing is to do good, to be in good

terms with God and with oneself. Among so many things that has caught my attention, is his

ability to forgive people who have wronged him by herping them in delicate moments of health.

In the first days of December, it was a tradition to go to his mother Hilda's house' where the

whole family had to collaborate to wrap Christmas gifts for low-income children' He also

organizedalongside his brothers a mass for the community and gave gifts to the families such as

a basic food basket. Seeing families smile was exciting'

He takes care of each one of his aunts who are older women and makes sure that they

have their pantries filled with food and that they do not lack their medicines' He may be

collapsed with problems but that will never be missing'

He is a spectacular father, he has made my cousins be women with kind hearts'

intelligent, enterprising, independent. He is with them on every occasion' As a special son' he

respects and supports his mother who is another warrior woman. As a husband he is loving'

understanding and respectful. For all this and more I love my uncle, I will always be there for

him, just as he has been for me.

Re: Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin

Dear Judge Scola:

It is a great pleasure for me to greet you. My name is Estefani Del Valle Cova

Cristancho, Venezuelan, of legal age, holder of identity card No. 20,635,080. I was born in

Puerto IaCruz, Anzohtegui State, Venezuela, I am 30 years old, with a degree in Public

Accounting. I currently reside in the city of Barcelona, Anzohtegui State, UrbanizationTerrazas

del Puerto IV, apartment 3PH-D. Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin, is my father's cousin, therefore

he is my second cousin, but the truth is that for me he is my uncle, my parents got me used to see

him as that since he was much older and obviously the respect had to be greater. We come from

a very gigantic, united, happy, and hard-working family, I don't remember ever not being told to

come and help to be able to learn from whatever they were doing. My uncle Carlos (his father)

taught us many traditions and customs that we should follow throughout our lives, after his death

my cousin Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin has taken the reins of this family as the true pillar that

he is, following his father's legacy. One of those most beautiful traditions, Mr. Judge, was to

bring food and toys to a sector of very low-income people. Just looking at the faces of all those

people was the most beautiful moment of my life and all this without expecting anything in

exchange. People who have the pleasure of meeting him, has no doubt of the pure heart and

humility that he has. There are so many things, so many moments, so many shared joys, that I

think this is a good way to thank him for having helped me overcome obstacles, difficult things,

he was always there to face any kind of problem. He taught me to be happy with what I had and

provided me with the tools to achieve success, and they are the two most important things one

needs to face life.

My uncle has had a passion from a very young age, which is the love of animals and the

countryside, for me it is his world and where he feels free. The amount of things he knows about

horses, cows, bulls, etc. is unthinkable. I can sincerely tell you that if at any moment I received a

scolding from him, for any reason, it was to teach me something that I would use at some point

in my life and to avoid repeating that mistake again. I know that if I need support from him one

day, I can pick up the phone and I will have a shoulder to be supported on and get up from any

difficult situation or conflict. In fact, they say that the first thing in life, is being the one to set an

example. We were raised seeing him as a role model. "My uncle is the best," "My uncle can do

anything," "Uncle help me," "lJncle I am afraid, ..." 'What would all those phrases be without

having the word uncle in the beginning? What would have had become of us, his cousins, his

nephews, his aunts. Without someone to whom I can ask for all of that? Life would have no

meaning, we would not know which way to go, where to go, what to do, what to be aware of. I

would like to get to be like him one day, it is a great dream to have the life of an idol.

Sincerely,

Estefani Del Valle Cova Cristancho

Enrique Urbano Fermin by treatment and communication. I can attest that he is a responsible

though we were on different grades, it was not limiting to establish a good friendship since our

teenage years and to be able to share within his family nucleus and observe that within his

environment, values that represent him as an entrepreneurial citizen and of very notorious human

qualities are preserved. We maintain a35-year friendship, that has remained pure in all aspects,

both family and work. We are united by family ties since I am the godfather of one of his

daughters and he is the godfather of my two children, this role leads us to have more

commitment to each other, since he has shown me that he is a selfless father and son, committed

to his family and willing to reach out to those who need it, without having any interest, he has

been classified as a good son, good brother, good boss, good friend and excellent life partner.

never been afraid of work. Since they were little, they helped their father in the farm, in the

butcher shop, and in the different activities they carried out. They worked great as a team. His

impetus for work did not stop there, he continued working and studying at the same time until he

achieved one of his goals, which was becoming a lawyer, and graduated from the University

Santa Maria.

There are many anecdotes that come to my mind today. One of them is that one day he

came from daily journey, and he had an exam and so, dirty, full of cattle dung from doing his

daily work, he entered the class and presented his exam, passing it, demonstrating his tenacity to

achieve his goals.

Always in that constant search for improvement, they grew not only in the "La Palmita"

field, or the butcher shop, or in'syseusa', but even to form a group of companies, always

keeping in mind the benefit of his family, workers, and always aware of his neighbors, ready to

extend a helping hand to those who needed it the most.

Re: Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin

Dear Judge Scola:

I, Marianne Cova Urbano, Venezuelan, of legal age, holder of identity card No 8.24.354,

domiciled in the Urbanization Bosque Residencial el ingenio, house No. 30/31 Barcelona,

Bolivar municipality of the Anzoirtegui State, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, working as a

professor, hereby certifi I know Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin, since he was born in 1971, son

of my Uncle Carlos Enrique Urbano Srlnchez and Hilda Carmen Fermin de Urbano, my aunt and

a second mother.

Honorable Robert Scola Jr., today I am writing to talk about a person with whom I grew

up since I was a child. We are only four (4) years apart, so we grew up as siblings. When I came

home from school, he would sit next to me and accompany to do my homework to the point, that

when it was time for him to go to preschool, he already knew how to read and write, and he went

directly to the first grade. We shared many adventures as children and teenagers. There have

been many experiences. From asking our grandmother to let us paint the house, to accompanying

my uncle Carlos (Carlos Enrique's father, a hard-working and enterprising man), not only to the

farm, but to sell merchandise that my uncle Carlos bought in the nearby towns, or even to unload

sacks with merchandise when near the SYSEUFSA sheds.

In December, toys were handed out to all the less favored children, help to the elderly,

who were overflowing in quantity, or when wood arrived at the company and he, together with

the employees, unloaded them. If he was in the farm, he was next to the workers, sowing or

milking. There are so many beautiful memories that counting them all would be many lines to

write.

We grew up in an incredible family environment where union and support were a

constant, where values were always taught to us, combining solidarity, family unity, respect for

our elders, our neighbors, our teachers. They taught us to share how little or how much we had,

to respect the rules that they imposed on us at home. We were taught how important it is to work,

to study, to set goals and achieve them based on effort, perseverance and responsibility, always

honestly and without harming anyone.

As an adult, he became an exemplary husband and father. A father who has tried to instill

all those values in his daughters, everything he learned when he was a child, what we see

reflected in Carhil and Caren and in his home together with Rosa, his wife, with whom he was

able to create a solid home, full of mutual respect and above all love.

Good son, good grandson, good brother, good cousin, good uncle, good person, always

supportive and aware of his own people even when we are at distance, always aware of

everyone, this is the Carlos Enrique with whom I grew up. I hope to continue growing at a

distance since we never stop learning or being in solidarity in the good and bad moments of life

that make us grow as individuals, since these life teachings strengthen us as people and make us

grow. I can attest that you are meeting through these lines a greatperson worthy of respect and

above all much admiration.

He studied law but did not exercise. His great passion is the field, andthat is denoted

when he talks to us about the subject, we can feel his excitement, we even like to hear him talk

about cattle, or how many grains of corn a cob has. This passion is what drives him to achieve

every goal he sets for himself. He able to solve mathematical accounts in his head, he is a lot like

my uncle, in how tireless he is to work. Once again, I reiterate that lines are not enough to

express my love for my brother Carlos Enrique, and more than sister love, I have affection,

respect, admiration for him.

Sincerely,

Marianne Cova Urbano

his famill', he has All my support. The nristakcs that rny brother Carlos lJnriquc madc

n'crc lbr defending thc family, to lell the corruption of a country that thel' all knos. I

sould do thc same for him and for the farnily and even morc knouing thc risk that our

Brothcr Carlos F.stcban Urbano runs that lhey have him kidnappcd in thc judicial

authorities Venezuela 4 years rvithout even present it before a serious court orjudge.

For them I say that as a brother and partner he is a person full of values lo1,al to juslice.

I could fill oul 1000 sheets of my brother's kindness. lhe employees have respectcd hirn

and have givcrt tlteir lovc for being an cxcellcnt human being on their fam:s, [{is most

hunrble emplol'ees lovc him since he cares for them like they are his children.

Something that I cannol help explaining in these brief rvords is the love that hc has for

his animals. for his cows he has his genetic ideology that hc carries that is admirable to

achievc. to obtain the best gyr cattle.

MR judgc, you can ask rny brother for the name of each cow he has, rlhen it rvas born.

hot' rnuch milk rvill he givc him. rvhy do you have to take care of it so that there is

more production and there you will see the exraordinary hunran being that nry brother

is and I assurc you that it is not because ol'the money that he gets. but that ir is a passion

of love to rvhat he does. thal is hou' it is in our business, Ile lovc.s what he does. he

loves his country and his farms and his animals. but he loves his famill' above all and

r'ach onc of us, I love my bmther and I admirc him, I SWEAR TO GOD AND I GIVE

[IIi\{ MY WORD THAT IT IS 'TTIE ONLY TI.IING TI{AT' tJS CARRY 'THAT

Re: Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin

Dear Judge Scola:

I, Vicente Rafael Fermin Diaz,Yenezuelan, holder of the identity card No. V-4,046,379,

residing in the State Nueva Esparta, Municipality of Diaz, San Juan Bautista, Venezuela, certifu

that I know the citizen Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin who is my nephew since he is the son of

my sister, Hilda Carmen Fermin, widow of Carlos Enrique Urbano S6nchez, educator and

merchant respectively.

Carlos Enrique Urbano Fermin, performed as a good student and worker from his

childhood, doing work in the farm with his mother, father and brothers in a small family farm or

where crops, cattle, pigs and chickens were raised. He also worked as seller of these products

and their derivatives, thus beginning his development. He then got into the university and

obtained the title of Lawyer of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Starting later with his effort and the collaboration and capital contributions of his father,

mother, brothers and uncles, in which I include myself as one of the largest contributors, as well

as bank loans to that undertaking, a small service company was born which contributed to his

development as an entrepreneur in the purchase and of: sacks of sawdust, wood, construction

materials, livestock and other services, becoming a formal taxpayerof the national treasury in all

its areas.

Sincerely,

Vicente Rafael Fermin Diaz
