Dear Mr Nielsen,
We wish to bring to your attention a sound and reliable programme which could generate an income in excess of US$200 million for The Solomon Islands over the next five years. Our programme involves no expenditure whatsoever by your Exchequer and all the necessary administration and marketing is handled by our personnel. In fact, all The Solomon Islands has to provide are documents and dual nationality for a limited number of honest, accredited, and healthy Hong Kong residents, complete with good conduct certificates from the Royal Hong Kong Police, and current medical certificates from registered medical practitioners.
Please allow us to explain.
Hong Kong, as you are aware, reverts to Chinese rule on 1st July 1997. The British Government has granted British Citizenship to 250,000 Hong Kong residents already, with Australia and Canada jointly providing a further 40-60,000 per annum over the last few years. This unhappily still leaves a very considerable number of citizens "out in the cold" as it were, without any recourse to these schemes for one reason or another. Now, this is the first time in history that an entire population in a country with a free market philosophy is being freely assigned to one adhering to a hardline communist doctrine. As a consequence, there is a most normal and immense fear amongst the relevant population in Hong Kong that, following reversion to Chinese rule, severe restrictions will be placed on the remaining Hong Kong residents who now enjoy social and economic freedom, which will prevent them from maintaining their business and limiting travel outside of Hong Kong.
As a result, many Hong Kong residents are now actively looking to procure a second nationality, not with any immediate view to leaving the Colony to reside elsewhere, but basically to insure against any restrictions which might be placed on them in the future. For many months now, GCI has been working closely with our associates in Hong Kong to establish a programme of "Citizenship by Registration" for such clients. Because of the very large numbers of potential applicants it is desirable that applications are spread amongst a number of host nations, and thus we are working, right now, with several other Countries which are prepared to offer our clients citizenship programmes. We firmly believe that The Solomon Islands could also very materially profit from this arrangement.
The manifest benefits are:
-
An obvious enormous and rapid financial input into the Solomon Islands Exchequer
our clients are prepared to pay substantial fees for a bona-fide Citizenship package, properly organised and administrated.
