As I expected... no help at all
Dear Jim
Thank you for the message. I think that the Anglo-American proposal is a good thing not only in that it brightens the outlook for progress on this regionally important project but also in that it might start a bidding war with another company interested in the project, and in that the deal itself might turn out to offer more to existing shareholders once fuller details are known. We will have to wait and see what Anglo-American ultimately come up with. I and other local political leaders are very much aware, however, of the financial commitment which people like you have made to the project and I will look to do what I can to protect the investments which you and others have made.
Best wishes
Ben
