this connection, I am enclosing an extract
from CRE's copy of the/Final Report by

sources of capital funds for financing the
scheme.
The Report is stamped "Confidential
Contents must not be divulged in whole or
part to third parties without prior written
consent of Freeman, Fox and Partners".

obtaine it privately from one of their
contacts in Hong Kong and the fact that we
have it should not therefore be revealed to
anybody connected with Freeman, Fox and
Partners.
