Dear Sirs,

I respectfully address myself to you in order to request you that my name be removed
from the SDNT list, I make this petition as I consider that an injustice occurred maybe
due to lack of information and knowledge on your part, as I intend to explain in the
following:

REASONS TO REQUEST THE EXCLUSION OF MY NAME FROM THE SDNT

LIST:

1. m H H | : As you can see from my work history, after having

contiruiousiyworkea for approximately 38 years in Companies and with
Entrepreneurs of known prestige and tradition, even helping to create new
companies, 1 finally agreed to create a Society with an honest person (at least
he is recognized as such by all persons knowing him), t h e H H M H l H H
whom I met as already stated in my work history in the
academic world.

When I m e t B H ^ B B , approximately in the y e a r £ H H H H < h i s H H B M H i

and I am nearly sure that he had no girl friend, because he always was really a
quite shy, respectful and very reserved person (personally I qualify him as an
intelligent and responsible individual, who knows how to handle people, which
added to his modesty makes that all people like him. In the y e a r j J M B B B I
H H naa< already finished his professional s t u d i e s a s J B B H B j J | | ^ J f a n d

The commercial part of • H H w a s managed by the undersigned person, by the

Sub-Manager and by the respective vendors. I can guarantee you that during al
the time I worked for M B I only and exclusively attended the followinc
customers:

recognized, who do not appear nor have appeared in any delinquency

Likewise he and the vendors were in charge of other relatively minor sales
compared to the total sales volume. The Sub-Manager was also in charge, some
times alone or in occasions with the help of a Technician or specialized engineer
to attend the technical and accounting part, (I am not ashamed to confess that I
am from the old guard and that

In summary ! can guarantee to you and I can prove it against the accounting
records and documents, that for example during the last three years, the sales
carried out by me to the Companies stated in the previous paragraph are fully
identified, added with the sales made by the Sub-Manager to the National
Registry Office add over 90% of the total sales carried out by Company.

Personally and neither in the name of flHHH-' n e v e r visited nor established

commercial nor social contacts with Companies or persons included in the SDNT
list.

Due the analysis made now (November 2003) I have to admit, that in the
Company some minor equipment and services sales, included as part of the 10%,
stated as minor sales, were made to Companies which appear in the SDNT list as
I just became aware.! can assure you that I personally neither realized any of
these sales nor I made any effort to get them. Likewise I acknowledge that only
due to the newspaper I learned of the existence of these Companies. Anyway
all the equipment and service sales correspond to normal transactions. I can
assure you that our sales were a minimum compared to the total purchase
volume which this companies included in the SDNT list might have made. I admit
that even if our sales were minor, they should not have been made and even if I
personally did not make any of them, I consider that they were made in good faith
due to unawareness. I state this on my part.

Work History: Reading my work history you shall determine, that I am a

working, honest person and related as to business issues with decent people with
similar moral conditions as mine.

Real Pro American Feeling: With sincerity I can manifest you my deep
admiration towards this great country, which is the United States, .such as it can
be seen from my work history, I worked flHH u n t '' the age of B i n the most
importantandprestigious of North American companies: H M M f l l H H anc '
H H H H i H H H - After having worked with this companies, my moral principles
were structured for all my life. I only have feelings of admiration, respect and
appreciation for North America, the times I have gone there I have received
excellent attention and my travels have strictly been related to:

4. PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP: During all my life I have

followed the motto of relating myself personally and professionally with honorable
persons. Therefore never any person can state to have seen me with either
persons or companies of bad reputation. I have neith ever visited or talk
personally or by phone with any of the Companies appearing in the SDNT list.
Inclusive I don't know, even where they operate, nor which work they perform nor
who the managers are.

5. IN RESPECT TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS: The respect and love I feel for
my children, my family and friends, in addition to my personal conviction do not
allow me to carry out any activity which may go against my healthy moral
principles.

III. HONOR COMMITMENT:

Under oath I express my sincere intentions to loyally comply with the OFAC
regulations and to not have any type of commercial relationships with absolutely
no person or company included in the SDNT list.

1 hope to have supplied you clear, accurate fully verifiable information on what my
work and commercial activities have been during my whole life. Any additional
information or any other issue which may not be sufficiently clear, I will be glad to
surrender it.

I kindly request you to attend this request as soon as possible, as its effect on
my moral and health is of great proportions, my children included.

Any information here supplied can be fully or partially verified by you. If you want
me to send you certifications of the Companies or of the persons evidencing any
of the previously stated manifestations, please let me know which one yen need
and I will be pleased to send them to you.
