From: Sultan Bin Sulayem To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: Fwd: Gabon / Standard Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2012 02:17:09 +0000 From: "Otoki, Bunmi" Date: June 5, 2012 2:27:22 PM EDT To: Subject: Gabon / Standard Hi Sultan bin Sulayem, Trust all is well... I was recommended to contact you, as you may be able to assist me in Gabon in securing meeting with the president or the relevant government officials to discuss a number of issues.... These are the few themes we would be interested to discuss with Gabon. The main ones relates to the following: We are a leading mining bank and Gabon has one of the largest iron ore mine in West Africa, Belinga.The government awarded the deal in 2006 to a Chinese company, China National Machinery and Equipment Import and Export Corp (CMEC), but no work has been done beyond feasibility studies. Given the Chinese Mining aspects of this situation, we think Standard Bank could be relevant. This project is high on the government agenda. Also, we would like to discuss how Standard Bank can help Gabon convert its "non-functional / non-revenue" foreign currency loan into its "functional / revenue" currency...so as to protect the Sovereign from fluctuations in FX rates as well as interest rates Another item to discuss is how Standard Bank can help Gabon lock-in low interest rates in the current low rates environment on its outstanding floating rate loans... Additionally, Standard Bank will like to discuss how it can help Gabon protect its revenue stream from oil production in the event that oil prices begin to fall... Finally, Standard Bank will like to assist Gabon on its proposed new Eurobond issue as well as provide funding for various infrastructure projects the sovereign wants to embark on.... Please let me know if you can help...and also, when you will be available to have a quick chat about this and other countries in Africa that you may also be able to assist... Look forward to hearing back from
