From: Mohamed Waheed < To: Jeffrey Epstein Subject: Re: Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2013 04:11:56 +0000 Funds idea came up because our reserves are down. Maldives haven't done a rating for years and now may not be the best time to do it. We are currently doing too much short term borrowing at close to 8 percent through TBills. Have submitted revenue bills in parliament so we should be able to manage but if we had about 300 m dollars the sailing would be smoother. Any thoughts on how to raise some funds for my campaign. We have no restrictions yet so I am getting some from Gulf countries, enough to get started. The guy who is coming to help me with campaign planning and logistics is a James Connerly and a Theresa Wells who have worked in various elections in US. Look forward to see you. Why don't you come here for a short vacation. Best regards. Waheed.

We are now in the process of getting our campaign teams organized. We were unable to respond to Jim effectively as we didnt have a team in place. In the meantime, my son and another friend identified a PR person to come down here and help me with some negative campaigning that has been going around about a girl sentenced with flogging. This story has been haunting me for the last three weeks but now its under control. This PR person has a team of three who can work here on the ground to help put the campaign in place. Its kind of expensive but may be necessary here. On the political front I am building
