   That’s true Simbombino!
   The girl is ugly. She looks like a cross between that animal from the tv series Beauty and the beast and the Predator in those action movies.
   I wonder if the Spaniard guy married her for the access to stealing created by her parents coz a thing that ugly belongs up a tree somewhere in the Matusadonha national park.
   And before anyone says beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, please behold her properly…..and then behold again. She is not just ugly, she is oogly.

   Dear Editor.
   This interview with Eimer is the biggest load of lies and deceit.
   Here is my reply to the Radio Station.

   Dear Mr. Jackson

   I refer to your email as well as to the articles on your website and your interview with Mr Felix Eimer from the company Firstar in Switzerland.

   I further apologize for the bulkiness of this mail.

   I also plead your objectivity and neutrality in the evaluation and reporting of this matter. I would be obliged should you extend to us the same courtesy as you did to Firstar, to publish this answer to Firstar’s inaccurate allegations, on your website and discuss it on your show.

   I hereby confirm and attest that the content of this document is a true, factual, and an accurate reflection, to the best of my abilities, of the dealings and events pertaining to Firstar. Reference made to Firstar; inter alia include both Mr. Urs Bernd Hagemann and Mr Felix Eimer. All emails or part thereof inserted are done so verbatim. Should it be required, the contents and any attachment hereto will be made available voluntarily for any forensic audit and verification.

   From a personal perspective, I can assure you that I have not and will NEVER get or be involved in ANY disreputable transaction as I have worked and studied too long and too hard to sacrifice my life and career for any dubious character or transaction, regardless. Furthermore, I am not in the employ of anyone, nor am I for sale, nor do I have anything to hide or to be ashamed of, nor do I dance to anyone’s tune.
   I also say openly and publicly that I, neither anyone that I am involved with;
   • Have any criminal record of any kind or any such pending court case in any country of operation.
   • Is not part or have taken part in any elicit and illegal syndicates of any organised crime or any crime syndicates.
   • Is not involved or have been involved in money laundering.
   • Is not a drug user or a drug dealer.
   • Is not a military hardware, weaponry, or arms dealer.
   • Is not a supporter, member, sleeping member, or sympathiser or any subversive or revolutionary internationally declared terrorist organization.

   Although I know of Mrs Mujuru and who she is, I have never in my life met her, spoken to her or dealt with her in ANY way or fashion. Quite frankly Mr. Jackson, I am convinced that Mrs Mujuru is totally unaware even of my existence. Mr Hageman’s devious claim therefore that I told him that I am acting as an agent or principal for Mrs Mujuru is totally void of all truth and is rejected with contempt. The fact that she is the mother of Mrs Del Campo is purely academic of nature and has no bearing, relevance, or any significance in my life whatsoever.

   As part of my personal quest to eradicate the indiscriminate use of mercury and cyanide in the gold industry in Africa, my excursions in Africa, the past nine years, resulted in me meeting the Presidents and the relevant Ministers of the top eight gold producing countries in Africa of which I maintain a very good relationship. With all due respect, why would I then attach myself to or be associated with someone that forms an integral part of a despot Government to the likes of Zimbabwe?

   Firstar knew exactly who they were dealing with from the outset as my professional profile is on the Internet for anyone to see. In fact, they “googled” me several times during the period, of which I got reports from my service provider with region and IP address info of the search originator. Pertinent to note, in the press release sent to you by Firstar they refer to me as the “Principal of Nyasha and Pedro Del Campo” yet Mr. Eimer not once referred to me in your interview. I wonder why?

   The Del Campo’s are Commodity Traders or often referred to as Brokers, more so Mrs Nyasha Del Campo (Sugar, Grain, Cement, Rice, Fuel, Coal, Steel, Rubber, Minerals, Equipment, etc) and they conduct their business through a proper and legally registered company Onesafara International based in Spain. They, more so Mr Pedro Del Campo, are also involved and busy with various “Green” Projects (Bio Diesel, Renewable Energy, Thermal Electricity, Tyre Recycling, Game Parks, Protected Animal, and Bird Species, Crop Cultivation, NGO’s etc.) in various African Countries. Nothing sinister or illegal or criminal.

   With reference to the company Berline Equities Corp. This is a company registered in Switzerland and has been dormant since inception. Furthermore, the only reason why Onesafara and Berline Equities were used with regards to the transaction was purely from a convenience point of view as it was existing good and clean companies with an infrastructure which I did not have at the time in Europe. Once again, nothing sinister or illegal or criminal.

   For the purpose of the gold transaction under scrutiny, the Del Campo’s were appointed by me as intermediaries. The sole function of an intermediary is to bring the buyer and seller around the same table at the same time. This entails that an intermediary present the transaction as well as making all the initial contact and communication with the potential buyer/client. It is therefore not unusual for, like in Mr. and Mrs. Del Campo’s case, to speak and communicate with the client, in this case, Firstar.

   For that service, an intermediary earns a commission. The norm in the industry is one or two percent of the value of such transaction shared amongst intermediaries on the “Seller Side” and one or two percent shared amongst intermediaries on the “Buyer Side” and not the “Millions of Dollar” as referred to by Mr. Eimer in the interview. In fact, Firstar would have made many more “Millions of Dollars” had this transaction materialise, than all the intermediaries put together. The bulk of the money, +/- 90% of the value of the gold gets paid to the owner of the gold in the country of origin. I am dismayed and utterly disgusted at the blatant misleading and ambiguous lies that now, by virtue of remote association, suddenly turned us into gunrunners.

   Intermediaries normally have fairly limited authority and knowledge of the intricate detail of such transactions and are therefore not uncommon for minor misrepresentations and or misunderstandings to occur. It also does occur that an intermediary, with the initial contact with a potential client, makes or leaves the impression, that he/she is, rightly or wrongly, indeed the Principal.

   Experienced Buyers of commodities are normally very well versed and as a rule insist to be introduced and or work and communicate directly on a Principle to Principle basis. Furthermore, experienced traders of commodities would normally insist to see proof of appointment as Principal or Mandate by the owner. Despite numerous discussions and emails to this effect, Firstar was informed on several occasions, both verbally and per email that I am the Principal and Mandate of the transaction, and that all dealings are sanctioned by me and me alone, yet they willingly and wilfully harassed and haunted Mrs. Del Campo on a constant basis. This harassment also had a sexual undertone as suggested by Mr Eimer that he “has never been with an African lady” as he tried to persuade Mrs Del Campo to visit him in Switzerland, well knowing her husband is in Africa.

   In a nutshell, a Principal or Mandate can be described as follows; a Principal is either the owner or mandated by the owner of a commodity to sell his commodity. In the instance where the Principal is not the owner, he normally gets paid a negotiated commission by the owner. In certain instances the owner could offer the commodity to the Principal at a fixed price which leaves the Principal with more flexibility to negotiate a win-win transaction with a potential Buyer. The Principal will always act as if the commodity is his property and would therefore always bear the best interest of the owner at heart and is often described as the Seller. It is therefore also not uncommon for the proceeds of a transaction to be paid into the bank account of the Principal or Mandate or Pay Master, for further disbursement of commissions and costs as well as payment to the owner of the commodity. Structuring of transactions of any kind is virtually limitless in substance and execution.

   Worthy to note; two weeks after my appointment as Principal and Mandate did I meet Mr. Pedro Del Campo for the first time in my life after which I invited him to become involved.

   By way of background; any commodity transaction is initialised or activated by a Full Corporate Offer (FCO). Please refer the example on your website. An FCO is a summary of the product on sale as well as a summary of the procedures together with an expiry date. A transaction is activated by the signing of the FCO and issuing of a Letter Of Intent (LOI) by the buyer. If you do not accept the FCO, a counter proposal can be made or outright rejected. Should a counter offer be made, it is then for the Seller to accept or reject or negotiate until all parties are satisfied. When an FCO is accepted everything then happens according to the prescribed procedures. Effectively, an FCO spells out the rules of engagement. The bottom line is – No signed FCO and LOI, No deal. As easy as that. Firstar NEVER intended to sign an FCO nor issued an LOI. Refer to the emails hereinafter.

   The golden thread through all these emails can clearly be seen. Firstar did their utmost to lure us and the consignment to Zurich under the auspices and pretence that everything will be sorted out on arrival. No FCO signed and only a promise of payment. With reference to past incidences with others in similar circumstances, once in Zurich, suddenly you find yourself confronted by the authorities and arrested with the charge of trying to sell “illegal gold”. As you have no legal foot to stand on because you have no FCO, LOI and agreement with a Buyer, you get arrested and deported without your gold as the gold now gets “confiscated”. As it was the Buyer that tipped off them off, they now “buy” the gold from corrupt officials for a fraction of the real value. Many legitimate sellers of gold from Africa lost their gold this way, and yes, even in Switzerland, thanks to companies to the likes Firstar.

   With regards to the so-called illegal gold. The gold in question, originated from a very reputable mine in the Katanga Province (Southern DRC bordering Zambia and Angola) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) with all required export taxes and duties paid to the DRC Government. As the gold was in transit through Kenya, all required taxes, and levies was also paid to the Kenyan authorities.

   Furthermore, gold originating from the DRC is neither illegal nor illicit nor is there any embargo or resolution either from the African Union or the United Nations. I might add that there are Gold Refineries in Europe that does not accept gold from the DRC, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Central African Republic, Somalia, (War zones) etc. This however is exclusively a decision made on Company (Refinery) level, in my opinion not always consequent in the execution but obviously there right to do so. The only reason they do so is that they want to be seen to be in occupation of the moral high ground. This stance of the Refineries in Europe is normally enforced and applicable to any new potential supplier of gold, with an unknown track record. Existing and regular suppliers of gold to these Refineries does not have such problem and they accept gold from these known sellers regardless of origin.

   Also, the gold in question was free and clear of any liens and encumbrances and is of non-criminal and non-terrorist origin and there is no past dues or taxes and levies whatsoever owed to and by any Authority or Government concerned. In addition, I am also authorized and fully licensed to buy, sell, and export gold by the Authorities of the countries concerned. With this as background, to therefore change the origin of the commodity at will and “on demand” is totally ludicrous, sucked from his thumb and very far removed from to the statement made by Mr. Eimer during your interview.

   I find it strange that Firstar claims that it was “illegal” gold as the Full Corporate Offer (FCO) (not a Free Corporate Offer as referred to in their Press Release) that was sent to them, clearly and in Bold indicted the origin of the gold as that of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Firstar also have in their possession, certified copies of the Certificate of Origin, Certificate of Ownership, Certificate of Assay, Certificate of Authority to Export, Tax Clearance Certificate etc. Furthermore, the fact that the gold originated from the DRC was never obscured or disguised or concealed. Clearly, this would have been otherwise were there any dubious criminal intent or attempt to either mislead or deceive.

   Interesting to note; the accusation that we tried to sell “illegal” gold was levelled at us only as late as the 9th December 2008 whilst they received the first FCO the 5th of November 2008. I also find it very strange that Firstar, well aware of the fact that the gold originated from the DRC for more than a month, were fully, enthusiastically, and vigorously prepared to buy this “illegal” gold all along. They even resorted to blatant extortion, blackmail, and blatant racism. Their offensive racially prejudice and insults (refer to emails hereinafter) went on well beyond the termination and suspension of communication. Only when I insisted that they need to prove that they are in fact in a financial position to pay for the consignment did the deal turn sour, and they then reverted to the “illegal gold” accusation. Why was the “Illegal” status of the gold not an issue prior to me insisting that they prove funds as they were fully prepared to buy the gold coming from the DRC? Does this then not also make Firstar an accessory and accomplice to the “illegal trade in gold”?

   Furthermore, should gold from the DRC indeed be classified as “illegal” then surely Firstar should have declined the Full Corporate Offer from the outset as this would have been common knowledge for experienced gold buyers like Firstar which is “one among 100,000 buyers” as Mr Eimer stated in his email of the 24th November 2008. It would also not have been required of Firstar to do a “deep due diligence” (that took this “big” company more than a month to “conclude”), as he so eloquently put it during your interview with him.

   The only real reason why this gold suddenly turned “illegal” was to enable Mr. Eimer to save his own standing within Firstar and also as a cover up for his lack of knowledge, experience, and expertise. According to their website, Firstar is a corporate company. To any Corporate Company it is all about the “bottom line”. The real and true facts of the matter is that Firstar forward sold the gold consignment on a back to back transaction more that 3 weeks prior to the termination of communications, to an American Company.

   In addition, Firstar has never been in the financial position to buy the gold themselves and relied on the American Buyers to provide the funding. This fact was admitted by Mr Eimer during a conversation with Mrs Zoe Saenz. Mrs. Zoe Saenz was approached by Mr. Eimer to enter the negotiations as an arbiter cum peacemaker to salvage the transaction as she was the person that introduced Mrs. Del Campo to Firstar. She was also abruptly and unceremoniously blacklisted by Firstar the following day. Even well after the blacklisting, Mr. Eimer tried frantically and hysterically to persuade Mrs. Saenz to help to salvage the transaction. See emails hereinafter.

   The proverbial cat was thrown amongst the pigeons when I insisted on proving that they can pay. They then resorted to treacherous tactics to blacklist all involved to try and force me to sell the gold to them, after which, the names would then be removed from the blacklist. See emails hereinafter.

   Also, during a conversation between me and Mr. Eimer, upon a direct question put to the young man, whether he has ever done a gold transaction, he boasted in the affirmative that he in fact has done several gold transactions in the past with distinction and that he is also an authority in the identification of fake or false documentation especially originating from the DRC. From the DRC? His claims are now to the contrary, in your interview with him and very far removed from what he bragged about.

   I refer to the comment made in your interview with regards to the alleged threat to the life and safety of “the gentleman in question” from Firstar. Logic dictates as well as in evaluating all probabilities, and in all fairness to all parties:

   • Mrs Joice Mujuru as well as her husband has been blacklisted by multiple high profile Governments, organisations, and institutions worldwide due to their direct involvement with the Government of the tyrannical ruler Mugabe.
   • Now why would she directly phone Firstar and “the gentleman in question” Mr. Urs Bernd Hagemann? It is similar to a dead person that cannot die twice. The fact that she was blacklisted by Firstar would have had a zero detrimental, negative, or harmful effect in her life as she depends on absolutely nothing from Firstar. Furthermore, taking into consideration Mr. Hagemann’s status and stature in the world, unlike his own opinion of himself, a nincompoop, and incriminate her to this extent by threatening his life?
   • Surely, upon receiving a threat like that, the immediate involvement of the Police would, as a norm, be sought and they in turn would seek the assistance of Interpol. Surely Firstar should have record of such conversation or at least evidence of such case reported to their relevant authority.
   • My personal opinion is that Firstar is employing the truth in extreme moderation and clearly and obviously wants to create the perception that they are now dealing with real dangerous gun wielding “cloak and dagger” stuff.

   With reference to the document [Mails-from-Seller-NyashadelCampo.pdf] as can be seen, all reference to Firstar, Mr. Hagemann, and Mr Eimer has suddenly disappeared, when compared to the original emails. All emails are addressed to a person with the name of “Anthony” also with references to a person with the name of “Mike”. Apart from the obvious subtle and creative modifications and alterations, I further notice that the letter to the Journalists was sent by anthony.dexten@googlemail.com. I therefore can safely assume the “Anthony” is indeed Anthony Dexten.

   Neither I, nor anyone in my team has ever heard, spoken or communicated with a “Mike” or an “Anthony” or communicated with anthony.dexten@googlemail.com.

   In fact, upon telephonic enquiries, there is no Mike or Anthony Dexten in the employ of Firstar. Non other than the old goat MR URS BERND HAGEMANN himself, the so-called Vice President of Firstar is answering and responding to the email anthony.dexten@googlemail.com. Hallo Anthony!!! (Or is it Mike with the assistance of Anthony?)

   Firstar in truth are still busy with their underhanded tactics. It is for that very reason they are using you and your radio station as a willing and able participant and vehicle to achieve their smear campaign objectives.

   Firstar blatantly, deliberately and fraudulently;
   • altered and falsified the contents of the emails sent by Mrs. Del Campo and others, as per document published on your website [Mails-from-Seller-NyashadelCampo.pdf] to create the impression that her mother is funding this operation as well as other subtle and devious “modifications”. This is fraud of the 1st degree.
   • hacked and gained unauthorised access to my and others’ mailboxes to get copies of confidential Company documentation as well as the FCO sent by Onesafara to Dynamic Solutions in South Africa. See copy of FCO on your website. This is Industrial Espionage and theft of the 1st degree.
   • misinformed you, your listeners and your surfers with fabricated misrepresentations and unashamed lies in the interview with Mr. Eimer.
   • portrayed all people and companies on their “blacklist” as dangerous terrorists, gunrunners, money launderers and criminals that has defrauded, conned and duped Firstar and other companies.
   • insulted, tarnished and tainted our reputation, character, integrity, credibility and good standing which constitutes libel, defamation, slur, slander, vilification, character assassination resulting in real loss of income.

   First contact made with Firstar on Wednesday the 5th November 2008 after a telephone conversation between Mr. Del Campo and Mr. Hagemann.

   Betreff: Telephonic discussion

   Dear Mr. Hagermann,

   I refer to our telephonic discussion of earlier today.
   To be able to move the consignment in a first batch of 50 kilograms we need to convince the advocates of your ability to pay for the total consignment (3700 Kilograms). We therefore friendly request proof of funds to present to the Advocates as well as a commitment to pay for the consignment on arrival and after assay by the destination refinery.
   Please give it your urgent attention as this is a non exclusive FCO.
   Yours Sincerely
   Pedro del Campo / Dancor Spies

   Dear Mr. Campo, dear Mr. Spies,

   It is also in our interest to make the deal as sure as possible for both sides.
   We want to give a short resume from our point of view:
   1.) You have sent us documentation and pictures of / about the gold
   2.) We have sent you our company profile
   Firstar is a well known company and the board of directors is impressive. The fact you deal with Firstar should be enough to convince your lawyers:
   The board of directors (Firstar):
   - Founded by Wayne Mixson (former governor of Florida)
   - Chairman, Rudolf Krauss (member of German Parliament / Deputy Minister under Chancellor Helmut Kohl)
   - Jürgen Schornack: Manager of the State secretariat
   - Chairman Bill Grant (former president of the Florida Bankers association / Advisor to many of the American and Iraqi personalities)
   - CEO, Musihi Al Haschimi
   - Vice President Salah Y Gizeer
   - Vice President Udo Hagemann
   At this point both sides have shown their ability to perform at equal level.
   The next logic step is a top table meeting.
   Our directive does allow us to send sensitive bank documents upfront through the world wide web.
   You are invited to Zürich or our offices in Berlin to have a look at these bank documents upfront if you don’t feel safe.
   In our opinion you have no risk if you take a small amount to Zürich Airport (Free Zone) and complete the transaction there.
   If the proposed commodity “GOLD” suits to the FCO we can close the first (small) deal on Friday in Zürich.
   During our TTM we will of course deliver bank documents in order to complete the rest of the transaction.
   We can propose you to fortify your position in front of your lawyers in sending an official document with our interest to you.
   In combination with the name Firstar you are safe.
   We are ready to fulfil the transaction on Friday in Zürich at 2 PM.
   Please let us know if you agree and correct the FCO so we can allocate the funds and give you details for Friday.
   Best regards,

   Dear Felix
   If your organisation can provide the proof of funds via the world wide web as you said that would give us a bit more leverage with the lawyers, your credentials are fantastic and we are sure this will help a bit more.

   Dear Mr. Campo,
   Referring to our phone call we want to underline that Firstar is ready to enter the proposed deal.
   If all facts correlate with your FCO there is no doubt from our side that we can close the deal immediately. I hope you will find a solution to bring us the commodity with a “sample” of 50 kg. This is an easy and fast issue for all of us. If you feel uncomfortable concerning the POF we can offer you two solutions:
   1.) We show you the bank documents during our first “50 KG” transaction
   2.) We make an upfront TTM in Zürich only that you can inspect the documents
   We are working transparent but we cannot send confidential documents through the web due to unfriendly actions from brokers in the past. If you have any further documents (contracts) for us fee free to send it. The more information and documentation we have the better is our overall picture.
   If you reach your lawyers in the meantime we can still meet on Friday in Zürich as we have another deal going on that day.
   All the best, Felix

   Hi Nyasha,

   Actually we try to work out a solution that is comfortable for both sides. I guess you misunderstood the writing in my mail. It is not possible to provide such kind of documents through the world wide web. But your lawyers have always the possibility to inspect these documents in Zürich. We can arrange a meeting only for that purpose (inspection of the documents). But of course it would be easier if we connect this event with the first 50 kg transaction. We try to be as transparent as possible but please understand that such confidential documents cannot be send upfront via Email. This has never a problem in the past as everyone can check Firstar. If we can support and accelerate the process with any documents such as LOI, official writing,… please let us know.

   All the Best, Felix Eimer

   Dear Nyasha,
   Since a couple of days the deal is becoming very sticky. It is hard for us to get contact (Email, Fone, etc) to you. I don’t even get any reaction on my mails. You don’t call back when you promise it and we have no fixed date for Zürich yet. We don’t have any schedule and at this point feel uncertain if you will deliver gold to Zürich next week. We have to organise the complete infrastructure (money transfer, refinery, booking…). Please send us until today 3 PM a simple Email with the fixed time schedule. If we don’t get this information today we are not ready to follow the deal anymore.
   We presented us always flexible and wanted to help you to do the deal quickly because of your and your husband’s personal situation. Please treat our group with the same respect. All we are asking is to tell us a fixed date for Zürich. I hope that you will send the information and we will have a mutual beneficial business relationship.
   All the best, Felix

   Dear Nyasha, Dear Pedro,
   We are ready to close the transaction next week on the 25th in Zürich. We have to organize the total infrastructure. The following steps are necessary and the minimum requirment from the company Firstar for a gold deal. Please follow this line up or tell which points are not possible to arrange in time for you:
   1.) Email with the exact date when you will arrive in Zürich and the total amount of gold. Due until today
   2.) A confirmation of the flights and the location of the hotel. Due until 11/18/08
   3.) A paper that shows us that the gold will be transported to Zürich. Due until 11/21/08
   Please dont take these steps as a mistrust of your ability to perform. When you have sent us the Email today you will get an official invitation from Firstar. The gold will be bought directly from the refinery and paid via TT. Please stay in contact with us as this is a sensible process and business.
   All the best,
   Felix Eimer

   Dear Mr Eimer
   I refer to a telephone conversation with Mr. Hagemann one week ago as well as to your emails, as attached hereunder.

   We fully understand your position with regards to the issuing of a BG or a BCL. As this is one of the requirements of the supplier of the Au we have to negotiate an alternative arrangement.

   Furthermore, we unexpectedly ran into a minor problem and are now in the process to rectify same.

   It is VERY important to us to conduct our business ethically, correctly and legally therefore it is very difficult for us to commit to any date, as proposed by you.

   Once everything, including all required paperwork to export the consignment to you, we will duly notify you, obviously with all the paperwork as proof of the legitimacy of the transaction also bearing in mind the time you require to comply and fulfill your side of the transaction.

   Please bear with us until such time that we have all our ducks in a row to complete the transaction without problems.

   We will immediately notify you when we are ready to proceed.
   Best wishes
   DANCOR SPIES

   Dear Nyasha,
   All what we want was a receipt or proof. I told yesterday to Felix that I was sure that you will never send this receipt and don’t stay to your word. Now I am sure that all what you say to us was not true. You don’t send mail what you promised us, you don’t send any receipt what you promised us, you don’t send email from your lawyer what you promised us, you don’t send any transfer proof from money from your account to the lawyers account what you promised to us. It looks all like a fake. You told Firstar that we meet us first time in Zurich last week – and you cancel this meeting – after that you told us we will see us this week – and you cancel. Now you told us that we see us next week – and I am sure that you will cancel this meeting too with another brilliant excuse.

   Please understand that Firstar is not a game company. We have not time for fake brokers or imaginary gold sellers. Do you know that all people that what to play with Firstar go to the US-GOV – Blacklist and to the ICC Crime Office? One of our US-chairman is the former governor of Florida Mr. Mixson. The other is Mr. Bill Grant. The Minister Rudolf Kraus (from Germany) knows about you too. All don’t play games – all are strong business people and don’t want waste time.
   Please go to our international blacklist: http://www.firstar.us/blacklist

   I hope that we don’t must place you there next week. If we must do it – You, your company and all people that involved in this “deal” will blacklisted by Firstar International, by ICC Crime Office and US-GOV Blacklist.

   Nyasha, the problem is that you promise a lot to us and after that you don’t do what you say. If you are real, (what I don’t believe anymore) we can do good business in the future but what you have done and show us in the past was not professional from you.
   Sorry for this letter, but know we need clear words and not funny games without true. I really want to believe in you, but day by day it is more and more difficult.

   Dear Nyasha, dear Pedro,
   I am in real trouble because two meetings in Zürich have been cancelled and a lot of promises had not been fulfilled. The whole week consisted for me in calling you back and getting promises. For example today it was promised to get documents and a conference call between Nyasha, Pedro & me. I was online the whole evening. We organised the money facilities and refinery infrastructure. This costs Firstar a lot of money. If you bring us the commodity you will get direct TT payment. How would you feel if we start telling you the money maybe there in the next 24 hours and reschedule payments and do not fulfil our promises?

   The deal is actually on the company US side watchlist.
   And if we do not send any prove that the deal is real this will have severe consequences for you & me on the highest political level. His is no threat but the consequence I cannot avoid. This is out of my power.
   The door is not closed yet but will be closed tomorrow for all of us if again nothing will happen. I cannot understand why nobody is calling me if promises are made but nothing happens.
   Firstar opened you all possibilities because we have had a high trust level. In this big fake market Firstar is one among 100,000 buyers that is real. I cannot understand why you treat this big and respected company this way.
   We have always been open for a dialog if you face problems.
   Tomorrow is the real last chance to put things in order.
   Please treat us with respect and see this email as the last chance to close the deal and le us come back to a mutual trust level.
   All the best,
   Felix Eimer

   Dear Mr. Felix Eimer,

   As per our last official communication sent to you last 17th of November, the time we are ready to offer you under the premises you have dictate to us we will immediately contact you officially again. I herewith attached such communication.

   We understand you couldn’t attend our initial offer FCO Nairobi from the past 5th of November.

   We are working very hard from Nairobi to follow your premises.

   I hope it will be very soon.

   Pedro

   Could you please inform me as to what this is all about ON AN EXTREMELY URGENT BASIS?

   I thought I made it very clear that we will only deal with Firstar once we have everything under control.
   I refer to an email sent by me on the 17th November 2008 to all parties concerned of which both you and Nyasha received a copy. Although I never got any feedback nor answer from Firstar with regards to this mail and regardless my opinion that it is not very professional conduct from their side and is not the point of discussion.
   I find Hereunder an extract from this email:
   “It is VERY important to us to conduct our business ethically; correctly and legally therefore it is very difficult for us to commit to any date, as proposed by you.

   Once everything, including all required paperwork to export the consignment to you, we will duly notify you, obviously with all the paperwork as proof of the legitimacy of the transaction also bearing in mind the time you require to comply and fulfill your side of the transaction.

   Please bear with us until such time that we have all our ducks in a row to complete the transaction without problems.

   We will immediately notify you when we are ready to proceed.”

   As my mail to Firstar is clear in its content and intent, who made what promises and undertakings to them without confirming such undertakings and commitments with me?

   You know as well as I do that we are not in a position at this stage to make any commitment to anybody due to the problems we still need to resolve.

   I refer to the email from Mr Eimer and Mr. Hagemann hereunder and see it in a very serious light.
   Apart from the fact that I do not take kind to any threat, regardless, I WILL NOT AND CANNOT TOLERATE ANY ATTEMPT NOR CONDUCT BY ANYONE TO TARNISH MY NAME, MY PROJECT, STATURE, OR GOOD STANDING IN ANY FASHION WHATSOEVER.
   Please revert back to me as soon as possible.

   I have made the mistake myself as i am the one who bought First Star into this when we thought the deal with Mullen and Dowd had fallen through because lack of the funds this has been my doing and i take full responsibility, Firstar would like to see evidence that the consignment is there and that we are processing their paperwork for their deal as they have to make an apponintmant with their refinery in Zurich, i had informed them that we still need to make payments to our lawyers in Nairobi in order to start this process and they would have to waite at least a week more for everything to be finalized, well i guess i have been misunderstood and done this the wrong way, my apologies to everyone.

   Dear Mr Spies,
   We did not answer your mail directly because we agreed communication through Nyasha de Campo. We did not make any pressure on the deal beside the fact that we told Nyasha del Campo the Refinery will the close the 12th of December for Christmas Holydays.
   The pressure came from the ONESAFARA side as the company rescheduled the dates earlier. We have been informed on the last Tuesday that the meeting / transaction should happen today. At this point we had the fear to be in negotiations with a fake deal.
   It is not our intention to discredit anyone but we now need to know the final Time Table for Zürich.
   Please talk to you associates Pedro and Nyasha and come back to us as soon as possible,

   Importance: High
   Hi Nyasha & Pedro.

   Although the mail from Eimer and Hagemann was upsetting, not to what was allegedly promised by anyone, but mainly their threats and bullying tactics.

   The audacity they have to threaten us simply because they are not proficient in the basics of the English language, as they clearly did not understand the mail I sent to them. They further lack the basic business etiquette to acknowledge the receipt of an email sent to them on the 17th November.

   I further feel extremely offended and insulted by the mere fact that they associate us with a possibility of scammers, fakes, and imaginary gold sellers.

   How can Firstar, as so called respected and successful business people, be so presumptuous and arrogant to put a deal, that have no signatures or final commitments, on “company US side watch list” which poses “severe consequence” on the “highest political level” should we fail to abide by their contemptuous demands.

   All of us have sacrificed a tremendous lot to make this happen and I will therefore not for stand their threats. The world is full of real buyers and they surely are not the only ones.

   Nyasha, apologies accepted unconditionally and absolute no hard feelings and also nothing to blame yourself about.

   Incidents like this only strengthen the glue that holds us together as a team.

   Best regards
   Dancor

   I refer to our telephone conference conversation with you as well as a telephone conversation with Mr. Hageman on Saturday night.

   Regrettable, we do not have a fixed date for the transportation of the consignment to Zurich yet.

   The delays we currently experience is beyond our control as it is dependent on third parties to diligently perform their duties.

   We fully realize the implications of any further delays, both on your side as well as from our side.

   As discussed during our conference call, it is very important for us to do everything by the book with no room for errors.

   We will inform you the minute we have everything in place.
   I beg your indulgence and assure you once again of our good intentions at all time.

   Dear Sir

   The current delays are caused by European Banks for the transfer of the required funds to finalize and pay for the outstanding Government taxes.

   Although 80% of all fees and taxes payable to the Government has already been paid by us, the further problem was due to an oversight by the Freight Company which miscalculated the tax payment to the Government. This was a USD150 000.00 blunder which is the sole cause for our dilemma. As this is our first time to export from Kenya, we were unaware of these additional taxes.

   These taxes needs to be paid before anything leaves the country, regardless.

   The ultimate blame for this failure rest squarely on my shoulders as I did not do the due diligence as it should have been done, but relied on the guidance of local businessmen.

   As I stated in my previous mail, we fully realize the implications of these delays and we are currently frustrated beyond comprehension.

   Please be assured that we, as a team, are working tirelessly to achieve our objective.

   Subject: Discount

   Dear Nyasha, dear Pedro, dear Dancor,
   There has been a lot of miscommunication the last weeks. That is why the internal pressure @Firstar is now at a high level. This is also the reason why at a certain point we are at the edge of our negociation possibilities. CIF Zürich was agreed. I guess this wont be any problem anymore as you have all things in order now. In the first FCO we have got there was a discount of 12%. This has never been communicated differently. We are ready to adjust this discount to your advantage but not down to 6% in the context of normal business negociations. Please propose us a mutual acceptable discount starting from the first FCO. We are of course ready to deduct your upfront costs (transport, custom) from the price. We recognise that the delivery is now CIF. We will deduct all your upfront costs from the price but need on this net price a higher discount than 6%. You can be sure that Firstar will perform and you will be paid via TT and you are dealing with one of few real buyers. At this point I would ike to encourage you to stay in contact with us even if there are no hot news. I hope that everyone will now do his best to close the deal this year.
   All the best from Frankfurt,
   Felix Eimer

   Dear Pedro, dear Dancor, dear Nyasha,
   Thanks a lot for your FCO. The first FCO you have submitted had a discount of 12% and a b**** quantity of AU. We realize that you now deliver CIF, but also a lower quantity.
   We are ready to purchase at 10% discount. We would like to discuss a long term contract in Zürich for the future deals with different parameters. Our company has the financial ability to purchase the total amount of gold. Please let us know your thoughts and keep in mind that this is a first deal with the goal to build up a long term business relationship and level of trust. If you agree we are still ready to close the deal in Zürich.

   Dear Mr. Hageman, Mr. Eimer,

   I wish to point out to you that;
   1. The previous FCO, with the discount of 12% as well as a quantity difference was for another transaction from a different supplier and with no relation to the current transaction as well as terms and conditions that was not acceptable to you at the time.
   2. The CIF versus FOB cost implication to the overall cost of sales, obviously have a serious effect to the bottom line.
   3. Although you assure us that your company has the ability to purchase, we on the other hand have never dealt with your company thus we do not have firsthand experience of dealing with you. As you require proof of product before you pay, so we require proof of your ability to pay by means of a BCL.
   4. We are still seriously concerned about the comment you made Mr. Eimer, during our Skype conversation, I quote verbatim; “[05/12/2008 11:11:37] Felix Eimer says: This happens for the delivery, I would be interested how you would react if behave on monday the same way for your payment and take our time.” As you can clearly see from this comment, we are now not sure with whom we really dealing with as this type of conduct is not appropriate to the status and stature of the perceived good standing of Firstar.

   Please revert back to me as soon as possible
   Regards
   Dancor Spies

   Dear Sir

   I refer to your mail hereunder.

   As a responsible businessman I need to evaluate and consider all aspects when dealing with such a high value commodity as gold. One of the most important and decisive factors are all the risks involved.

   When I get confronted with a statement made by you, I regard this as a perceived threat and therefore a serious risk as we cannot afford a deliberate delay of payment in Zurich just because there was a delay in the delivery of the consignment. Apart from the fact that it is a childish argument, I needed you to clarify that specific concern, in my previous mail to you, as the statement was made by you.

   I really fail to see in which way this is used as an argument to discredit you or Firstar.

   With regards to your comments that all parameters changed and nothing as it was agreed.
   My question Sir;
   1. What parameters changed? This is a new FCO with new parameters on offer that has nothing to do with any previous offers.
   2. What agreement did you sign and when? As far as I am concerned, no agreement was ever signed by you or Firstar.

   I interpret your further comment with regards to our lack of knowledge as to whom we dealing with as a treat. Am I correct to assume that this is a disguised threat?

   I refer to your comment with regards to the “plastic argument” as well as the”strange deal”.

   Sir, the deal is straight forward, either you accept the deal, or you reject the deal. As simple as that.
   Die Verhandlung ist nicht schwierig. Sie entweder Sie nehmen es an, oder Sie weisen es zurück. So einfach wie das.

   Why are you argumentative as well as insulting and threatening us for no reason whatsoever?

   Regards
   Dancor Spies

   Dear Sir

   I refer to your mail hereunder.
   I fail to see the relevance of your reference to the mail I sent you on 2008/12/1 and your invite extended to us to visit Zurich.

   Sir, please be reasonable. Do you really expect us to fly to Zurich (10 to 12 hour flying time), inspect documents that, for all intents and purposes in this hi-tech world we live in be fabricated, not that I say that it would be, whilst the secure handling of information of the www is common cause, overnight in Zurich and then fly back to our origin the following day or whenever there is a flight available at a very high cost to ourselves.

   To me, that constitutes a shoddy business decision.

   In all fairness, all we require is that we need to satisfy ourselves that you in fact have the ability to pay, as you want surety that we are able to deliver what we say. I really fail to see the difficulty in this equation.

   Why are you creating an argument?

   I refer to the mail I sent you on 2008/12/01, as attached by you hereunder and more specifically to the 3rd last paragraph.

   “As discussed during our conference call, it is very important for us to do everything by the book with no room for errors.”

   Dear Felix,

   The followings are my points as far as this negotiations:

   1.- The Disc offered to Firstar was based at 12% FOB; But, now the disc is 6% CIF. This makes a big difference transporting Au is very costly.

   2.-I t is a very well common practice to required from the Buyers a BG ( to be honest I’m not one that trust a lot BCL, will prefer Mt 7990.)

   At the present time I will like to also paste a threat made to my person, sine it is beginning to be a common practice in this negotiations :

   [17:08:08] firstar.europe dice:i receive a “new” Fco now with 6 % discount, last week the same FCO with 12 % discount LAST WEEK WAS FOB PRICE … BIG DIFFERENCE
   QUESTION: HAVE YOU RESPONDED TO THE FIRST FCO BY SIGNING AND SEALING IT IN ORDER TO VERIFY YOU ARE IN ACCORD WITH THE DOCUMENT?

   [17:08:15] firstar.europe dice:this is not serious – I agree on this point , FCO shall be signed and returned to the seller ….

   [17:08:28] firstar.europe dice:we will blacklistet now all people involved – UNNECESARRY THREATS… YOU WILL NEVER GET TOO FAR THREATENING PEOPLE THIS WAY…
   .
   [17:08:59] firstar.europe dice:in 1 hour the blacklist is online, This business is not serious— YOU ARE RIGHT… THREATS ARE A THING OF THE PAST
   .

   Subject: RE: International Blacklist now online

   Dear Mr. Hagemann

   I am in receipt of an email, as can be seen hereunder, from a person [usa@firstar.eu] that did not have the common courtesy to provide us with his/her name.

   For the ease of reference as well as for the sake of persons receiving a copy of this mail (Bcc) and not familiar with the contents of the previous emails as referred to hereinafter, I have included copies of same at the bottom of this mail. Please read from the bottom up.

   I refer to the mail hereunder as well as all the emails sent to you and Mr. Felix Eimer.

   To summarize;

   1. Contact with you was made resulting in a Full Corporate Offer (FCO) being sent to you.
   2. You rejected the FCO based on the fact that it called for Free On Board (FOB), but still pursued and harassed Mrs. Del Campo on a constant basis. Despite subsequent undertakings from you and Mr. Eimer, you persisted in doing so. You then started with your threats to blacklist us.
   3. This FCO, based on a specific consignment, did not materialize and died a natural death, together with all supporting documents. (As refer to in the mail hereunder)
   4. We further encountered numerous problems, which took us time to resolve, with Deutche Bank in New York, Citi Group as well as Chase Bank in the transfer of funds to enable us to deliver a new consignment on a Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) basis as per your requirement. Ample recorded evidence exists to fully verify this. Please note that the problems did not occur in any African Bank.
   5. I personally gave you and Felix Eimer via Skype, constant feedback as to the progress of the process. We furthermore agreed that we will only start the process once our problems were solved with regards to the banks.
   6. We sent you a new FCO on Friday 5 December based on a new consignment also with the main criteria CIF and not FOB as well as a discount of 6% as well as a requirement for you to provide us with a Bank Comfort Letter (BCL).
   7. You discussed this new FCO with a person unrelated to this transaction and in this communiqué already issued serious threats to blacklist all the people involved. Pertinent to note that these threats were made before a counter offer was made to us.
   8. You rejected the FCO and made a counter offer on 6 December with your main condition a discount of 10% (ten percent) and method of payment by means of a Telegraphic Transfer (TT) which you later altered per email to Cash against Documents.
   9. I replied to your counter offer in which I also raised my concerns with regards to a perceived threat made by Mr Eimer and needed clarification of same.
   10. Instead of addressing my concerns, Mr Eimer, literary minutes later, then embarked on a barrage of derogatory, insulting, threatening and totally unprofessional emails (of which you received all copies) and which I cannot otherwise but accept that you indeed sanctioned his rhetoric.
   11. I again had queries which you again failed to address, instead received this latest mail as can be seen hereunder.

   We have throughout our dealings with you, observed the rules and guidelines as set out by the International Chamber of Commerce.

   Furthermore, we are ready, willing and able to conclude the transaction up to its full extent and final conclusion as we have all legitimate paperwork, permits, licenses as well as the certified product ready for shipment. All you needed to provide, apart from a Letter of Intent and the signed Agreement, was a BCL, to enable us to confirm and verify that you indeed are who you say you are, as well as that you have the ability to pay for the consignment. Refere

   This dancour guy can take his emails and try and fool someone else. The mere fact he is doing business with someone accused of crimes against humanity in Zimbabwe says it all. He is a scallywag himself and willing to turn a blind eye to murder and abuse of state power and resources by his business partners.
   We shall remember his name when the day of judgement comes. Spain signed the Treaty of Rome, by the way.

   They say matsotsi haagerane but these are crooks who are trying to pull the wool over each others’ eyes.
   I still don’t get why internal emails between the Mujuru camp should have the other party (firstar copied in. Are these emails genuine at all.
   For those who don’t want to waste their time reading the bull**** above I can summarise itfor you.
   The Mujuru’s approached someone claiming to have gold for sale, running into lots of kilos (3700 or so mentioned above). The other camp wants to take delivery of it before paying for it but the Mujuru camp want paying before delivery. The Mujuru’s ask for an effective bank guarantee letter to show they can pay and the buyers say they can’t send via the net so why don’t they meet in Zurich and they can see the documents of the company proving they are legit, in the meantime they also propose the Mujuru’s come with a small sample (50kilos here vakomana? vatadza kunyepawo futi mhani) and they can do a small initial deal to build trust. The Mujuru’s don’t have 50 kilos clearly and start delaying citing cash problems, banks had mistakes on paying taxes etc. The other party gets suspicious and starts to threaten interpol or ICC involvent whatever it may be plus using the political clout of their directors. The Mujurus are not moved but strangely enough want to continue with the deal, either to avoid the blacklist they’ve been threatend with or to give the impression they have the gold and if they don’t accept it someone else will, somewhere.
   My own summation of this: Remember Ari Ben Menashe? He was sent by Bob and co to give an impression. Well this is from the ZANU PF book of kurasisa muvengi. This issue is probably known in financial circles in Europe by now and they should be aware. Mugabe wants to give the impression he has over 3000kilos of gold to trade with a willing buyer. Mugabe doesn’t have this gold. If he had it would have gone to the Chinese to pay for the weapons he got FOB, as they say.
