Dear Sir,
STRICTLY PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL
January 15, 1983
This is to clarify your queries in your letter of 13th January, 1983.
The undersigned has explained to you in the presence of Mr. Maurice Wong that the sources of payment to your outstandings would derive from sale of our overseas assets4 We have also elaborated the mechanics to do it. In brief, the method is to take all good properties in United States, Singapore, Philippines and Thailand out from the Carrian Group of Companies and subsequently unloaded in the market over a period of time. This would be the best way to protect your bank's interest since all these assets have a relatively low book value with a considerable "hidden" value and thus we can take them out at a low price without affecting the status of the Carrian Group of Companies and the debt-restructuring scheme and then sell them at the market prices which you know are substantially higher. Moreover, they are easily marketable since there is no "1997 problems" in these countries.
It is for the protection of your bank that we have not included your bank in a loan reduction program. We thought we have a great moral obligation to do so, since our relationship is well established, long-term and world- wide. In other words, if anything happen in Carrian-Hong Kong, your exposure is still protected by overseas assets which by that time, we have taken out from the Hong Kong Companies of Carrian, which will be "tightly controlled by committee" (as you quoted in your letter).
If you need further elaboration,
We hope we have answered your queries. the undersigned or Mr. Bentley Ho, the Group Executive Director, would be happy to have a face to face discussion.
We do not want to put too much details or a time table for all these to happen. The above description is a very confidential strategy which should not be discussed or disclosed to other parties. So please keep this confidential only to your Board and if possible, destroy this letter afterwards.
Regards,
