Dear Pedro:

      On behalf of Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company"), I am pleased to
confirm our offer to you for the position of Chief Development Officer reporting
to me. Your start date will be mutually agreed upon but no later then July 1,
2005.

      In consideration for all your services to be rendered to the Company your
annual base salary will be $275,000, to be paid semi-monthly in accordance
with the Company's payroll practices. Upon the completion of mutually agreed
upon individual goals and objectives as well as the achievement of specific
Company goals, you will be eligible to receive a bonus target of 25% of your
base salary, minus customary deductions. Once you agree to join Amicus, payable
with your first paycheck, you will receive a sign on bonus of $25,000 minus
customary deductions.

      Subject to approval by the Board of Directors, you will receive an
incentive stock option to purchase 724,101 shares of the Company's common stock.
The option will become exercisable over a four-year period as follows: 25% on
the first anniversary of the date of grant, and 75% in equal monthly increments
thereafter. The exercise price of the option will be the fair market value of
the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Shares issuable upon exercise
of the option will be subject to certain transfer restrictions including the
right of first refusal.

      Given that you currently reside over 50 miles from our location in
Cranbury NJ, you will be eligible to be initially reimbursed for reasonable
relocation expenses up to $25,000 to facilitate your move.

      If you are terminated without Cause, you will be eligible for a
continuation of six (6) months salary, an additional six (6) months of option
vesting, plus payment of a bonus payment equal to the bonus earned in the
preceding year. "Cause" means for any of the following reasons: (i) willful or
deliberate misconduct by you that materially damages the company; (ii)
misappropriation of company assets; (iii) conviction of or a plea of guilty or
"no contest" to, a felony; or (iv) any willful disobedience of the lawful and
unambiguous instructions of the CEO of the company; provided that the CEO has
given you written notice of such disobedience or neglect and you have failed to
cure such disobedience or neglect within a period reasonable under the
circumstances.

      If there is a Change in Control Event and you resign for Good Reason or
are terminated without Cause within six months of such Change in Control Event,
then (i) you will be entitled to receive a continuation of twelve (12) months
salary, plus payment of a bonus payment equal to the bonus earned in the
preceding year and (ii) all unvested stock options will have their remaining
vesting schedule accelerated so that all stock options are fully vested.

      "Change in Control Event" means any of the following: (i) any person or
entity (except for a current stockholder) becomes the beneficial owner of
greater than 50% of the then outstanding voting power of the company; (ii) a
merger or consolidation with another entity where the voting securities of the
company outstanding immediately before the transaction constitute less than a
majority of the voting power of the voting securities of the company or the
surviving entity outstanding immediately after the transaction, or (iii) the
sales or disposition of all or substantially all of the company's assets. "Good
Reason" means (i) a change in your position with the company or its successor
that materially reduces your title, duties or level of responsibility; or (ii)
the relocation of the company or its successor greater than 50 miles away from
the then current location of the company's principal offices.

      Your right to receive accelerated vesting and severance payments pursuant
to the preceding three paragraphs shall be subject to the condition that you
execute a full release and waiver of all claims against the company and related
parties, in a form acceptable to the company.

      You will be eligible to participate in the Company's health benefits
program and are eligible to participate in the Company's 401(k) as well as any
other employee benefit plan(s) that are generally made available by the Company
to its employees from time to time when and as the Company may make them
available. In addition to the 12 days of paid holidays, you will be eligible for
fifteen (15) days paid vacation. Because the Company expects to regularly review
its benefit programs to keep them up to date and competitive, these programs are
subject to periodic adjustments so that certain features may be added, modified
or deleted over time.

      There is a two (2) year term on this agreement that will automatically
renew unless either party provides a thirty (30) day notice of termination.

      We also require that prior to the commencement of your employment you
execute the Company's Confidentiality, Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement.
A copy of this agreement is attached.

      In accordance with the Immigration and Naturalization Control Act, all new
employees must provide documentation that they have the legal right to work in
the United States. A copy of Form I-9 and a list of the acceptable documents
confirming your right to work in the United States are also attached for your
convenience.
