Sir, I recently Acquired a large track of land of about 200,000 hectares for a company in Ghana to establish a jatropha plantation, Unknowingly they do not have financial capabilities for the project.
I have already commited myself with the Chiefs and my reputation as their trusted surveyor would be on the line should this project fail because to them, the employment oportunities the youth would derrived from the projec far outweighs their finanancial expectations.
I wuold therefore be much grateful if your company can tap such a boom opportunity.The lease period is between thirty to fifty years.
Thanks and goodbye.
Hoping to have a fruitful response.
Edward
