Hunter,

Are you back from Botswana border?  Look forward to hearing about your friends farm and seeing the pictures.  I am around this week but we can also certainly wait to catch up until after Labor Day.

Let me know.

Best,

Brian

Thanks, but I am going to be way up on the Botswana border at a friends farm with the whole family.  I'll check in when I get back.

He runs one of the major Black Economic Empowerment groups w/Cyril Ramphosa. Kojo's uncle is the President of Ghana and his father is on the board of the Ghanaian Petroleum Corporation. Kojo is also likely to partner with us on the Ag Fund. Let me know if you have time or interest. Travel safely!

However, as we discussed we are confident that your individual and collective involvement in the agribusiness fund gives us collectively a tremendous opportunity to do very good and very well as well as the highest probability of the greatest success with raising capital, investing, generating returns and meeting the food security needs of our LPs (i.e. the SWFs), Host Countries and multi-laterals and bi-laterals.
