If you are not vacationing you may want to have a cup of coffee with a good friend, Kojo Mills. He runs one of the major Black Economic Empowerment groups w/Cyril Ramphosa. Kojo's uncle is the President of Ghana and his father is on the board of the Ghanaian Petroleum Corporation. Kojo is also likely to partner with us on the Ag Fund. Let me know if you have time or interest.

However, as we discussed we are confident that your individual and collective involvement in the agribusiness fund gives us collectively a tremendous opportunity to do very good and very well as well as the highest probability of the greatest success with raising capital, investing, generating returns and meeting the food security needs of our LPs (i.e. the SWFs), Host Countries and multi-laterals and bi-laterals. > > > > Based on our last conversation I would suggest the following as the structure of the relationship and way forward: > > > > 1.
