7th DECEMBER 1994.

THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE,
REPUBLIC OF RWANDA,
BUKAVU.

ZAIRE.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

RE:OUTSTANDING PAYMENT

We refer to a meeting Held iN Nairobi on the 5th December
1994 at your Embassy, with His Excellency the Minister of
Finance His Excellency the Ambassador to Kenya and Col
Kayumba Cyprien.

The meeting was arranged by MIL_TEC, after months of
uncertainty and loss of contact due to the current situation
in Rwanda and most of all the lack of communication.

Your excelleucy, as you are well aware, we bave been
suppliers to your Ministry for over 5 years, and were able
to assist you with supplies during your time of need.

We were asked to supply goods in April and May of 1993
(ANNEX 1 AND 2) for which we were promised payment
but never paid.

We were approached for very urgent supplies on tbe 10th
of April 94, after the tragic death of His Excellency the
President, we received this urgent request from Col
Kayumba, Major Tereraho and finally from the, then
Minister of Defense Augustin Bizimana, as you will see our
first shipment was delivered 8 days later at this time we
insisted to the the Minister for the outstanding payment
and we were assured these would be paid forthwith, the
schedule of our shipments amounts of our invoices and
payments received are reflected in our statement (ANNEX
3).

Payments were made to us from Kigali,Belgium, France and
Cairo, we also received 1 payment of 450.000 dollars from
one of your suppliers (DYL INVESTMENTS) who was
unable to fulfil his delivery commitments to you, but had
been paid by your Ministry.

A transfer of U.S.Dollars 578.645.00 was effected from
Cairo for our last shipment on 18/7/94, we however never
received the payment, we reported this matter to Col
Kayumba, Mr.Bizimana and Mr.Zikamabhari of your Cairo
Embassy, who informed us that the funds had been blocked
in the U.S. We believe the blockade was initiated by the
U.S. due to the situation in Rwanda at that time.

It was suggested by some of your officials that the amount
of U.S.$ 578,645.00 was received by us, we enclose a
confirmation from our Bank (ANNEX 7) we can assure you,
that had we received this payment we would not be making
any claims for it.

We spoke to Major Tereraho on various occasions, who
confirmed to us the receipt of all the goods in good order.

We also believe that we were the only suppliers who
successfully supplied your Government with goods, where
as your other suppliers did not perform despite having
been paid for the goods in question.

As you are aware that the credit given to you is against
borrowing from Commercial Banks and as such we have to
charge you interest at the rate of 1.25% per month, from
the time the money has been outstanding.

You will realize that we have gone out of the way to assist
your Ministry in times of need.
