Date: Mon, 05 Apr 2004 20:16:37 +0000 Importance: Normal Dear Ghislaine, I was wondering if there was any chance you are expecting to be in London at all this month?, I am presently negotiating with Villeroy and Boch for a worldwide distribution deal for the celebrity plates and once this is confirmed, I need to raise capital against it to pay for the project's next ten months outgoings. U have the contract to offer as security as well as the equity in my home, which is worth a lot more than I need to borrow. When we first met, you asked me to let you know if I ever needed your advice on where finance could be raised, and that time has now come! Villeroy and Boch feel I am likely to receive anywhere between US$12-24 million over the next five years through the sale of plates but unless I can raise the 4320,000 to cover the next 10 months' costs, I won't be able to go on. We have now moved into a new league of artworks with the King of Spain, Prince Charles, Prince Harry, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Madonna, David Beckham and Michael Schumacher, among others of the same calibre all on board, so it would be just seem ridiculous to falter at this stage. I am sorry to come at you directly but I felt it was better to just honestly explain my position and see if there was anyway you could possibly help me raise the capital, or if you perhaps had any other suggestions on how I can do so. Looking forward to hearing, and hopefully, seeing you soon. With love, EFTA00579077
