BANK INSTRUMENTS FOR TRADE PROGRAMMES AND PLATFORMS

The following message is being posted on our blog in good faith:

Could you benefit from a 4x to 5x leverage for your private placement program, structured buy/sell or trade platform?

ARGO INTERNATIONAL INC. contracts with clients for the provision of cash backed certificates of deposit, bank guarantees and standby letters of credit to be issued by globally recognized banks.

ARGO INTERNATIONAL INC. may be able to refer potential qualified clients to transparent trade programs capable of verifying and documenting their programs to potential investors. ARGO INTERNATIONAL INC. makes no guarantee or claims that the firms offering the trade programs will accept the potential client as an investor and/or permit the use of a bank instrument.

These bank instruments are issued in the name of the client as beneficiary and are fully lienable, callable, transferable and assignable which allow them to be used as collateral for an approved transaction.

Most other bank instrument transactions fall apart because the bank instruments are leased. The lessor requires the client’s bank to commit to return the bank instrument on a certain date on behalf of the client, however very few banks will do this. Since leased assets are not practical, we have created an exclusive method of collateral infusion in which the bank instruments only require a corporate undertaking to return or repay the instrument on a certain date between the beneficiary and our company for an approved transaction. You will not find this type of product any other place in the market today.

The smallest instrument we contract is ONE Million United States Dollars. We can send the procedures, pricing, and application form on request. Send request to email address: argointernationalusa@googlemail.com.

Use of Instruments: The Client/Beneficiary has the ability to participate in any approved legal financial transaction with the bank debt instrument provided through ARGO INTERNATIONAL INC.

Issuance Pricing: Price Sheet can be provided on request. Send email to argointernationalusa@googlemail.com.

Instrument Types:

1. Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC)

2. Bank Guarantees (BG)

3. Certificates of Deposit (CD)

4. Reserved and Blocked Funds

Clients are welcomed to call us or send email. We have a compensation package we can offer to consultants, intermediaries, deal-makers, attorneys and accountants who refer business we close.

BANK INSTRUMENTS AVAILABLE FOR SALE / LEASE

THIS IS TO INFORM ALL OUR POTENTIAL CLIENTS AROUND THE WORLD THAT ARGO INTERNATIONAL INC. HAS BEEN ABLE TO SOURCE CERTAIN BANK GUARANTEES / STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT WORTH SEVERAL MILLIONS DOLLARS. SUCH BANK INSTRUMENTS CAN BE USED FOR COLLATERALIZATION FOR THE PURPOSES OF LONG TERM / SHORT TERM LOANS AND WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. SIMILARLY, ARGO INTERNATIONAL INC. CAN ALSO USE THESE INSTRUMENTS FOR SECURING FINANCIAL LEASE FACILITIES FOR PURCHASE OF HIGH VALUE ASSETS SUCH AS SHIPPING VESSELS, HEAVY PLANT AND MACHINERY, POWER PLANTS, AIRCRAFT, CEMENT BAGGING UNITS ETC.

Financial Instruments

While ARGO INTERNATIONAL INC. makes use of certain types of financial instruments, such as "letters of credit", during the course of it's normal business and may sometimes seek to purchase "investment grade" financial instruments as part of a corporate financing effort, ARGO does not sell, or offer to sell, financial instruments of any kind. We urge parties seeking to acquire any form of bank debenture, certificate of deposit, letter of credit, bond, or securities from other than the issuing institution or a licensed securities dealer to proceed with caution.

We have come across a number of fraudulent proposals in which bank instruments offered for sale do not exist, are counterfeit, or are being offered for sale by other than the legal owner (Andice reports all such incidents to the FBI or US Secret Service). Be sure to carefully inspect any instrument that you may be considering purchasing before making payments, and avoid participating in any so-called "funds-first" transactions in which any commodity, be it a bank instrument or a container full of scrap metal, is to be purchased "sight unseen". Be careful to validate the current status and ownership registration of any financial instrument that you may be considering purchasing before providing the "seller" with any banking information. The simple presentation by a "seller" of a valid ISIN or CUSIP number does not indicate the current status or ownership of the instrument that may be offered for sale. Also be wary of "bait and switch" scenarios in which you may be presented with the registration information for one instrument only to have a different instrument delivered after payment has been made.

We also counsel purchasers to avoid becoming involved in any transaction that in any way involves highly-dubious instruments such as historical bonds (especially railroad or mining bonds), "US Dollar Bonds" (sometimes purported to be issued or backed by the nonexistent "US Ministry of Finance" and/or the "Washington Bank of America"), "Morganthau Bonds", "Philippine Victory Notes", "Limited Edition" US Treasury Notes, or other suspect securities. Large private FOREX ("foreign exchange") transactions involving the trading of different currencies are also to be approached with caution and skepticism.

Also, be careful when approaching transactions involving a "Bank Guarantee" ("BG"). While Bank Guarantees are routinely issued by major European banks, and are used as a form of surety or performance bond (UBS, for example, defines a Bank Guarantee as "a one-way contract between a bank as the guarantor and a beneficiary as the party to whom the guarantee is made"), and while the proceeds of a Bank Guarantee (but not the drawing rights) can usually be assigned to a third party, there is no exchange or secondary market on which such instruments are traded. Further, US banking legislation prohibits US banks from issuing "Bank Guarantees" and thus any "Bank Guarantee" issued by a US bank should be treated with strong skepticism.

We have also encountered a number of potentially fraudulent offers involving "Medium Term Notes" or "MTNs". Medium Term Notes are valid debentures, usually issued for a term of 5 to 10 years. They are offered primarily as fixed income instruments and usually carry a coupon, or interest rate, that is somewhat higher than found on shorter term notes. The use of Medium Term Notes can be a useful corporate financing tool, enabling a company to constantly tailor its debt issuance to meet its financing needs. They can also be an attractive investment for fixed-income investors. Be wary, however, when contemplating the purchase of Medium Term Notes from unknown sources. It is becoming increasingly common for "sellers" to offer a portfolio or package of Medium Term Notes on a "funds first" basis (that is, payment is expected before the instruments can be inspected). We caution any potential purchaser of Medium Term Notes to proceed with the utmost caution in such circumstances. It is our stated policy, and strong advice, to never make payment for any commodity, especially financial instruments, prior to inspection.

PROCEDURE TO LEASE A FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT AGAINST POF / CD

In view of the difficulties that some of our customers meet to follow the procedure for the leasing of financial instruments to the purposes of TRADING or as collateral to their credit lines, one of the providers with whom we are working, has pointed out the following proposal which give to the borrower the possibility to pay the leasing fees by bank backed (signed per aval by an acceptable bank) promissory notes against a proof of funds (POF/CD). Lender decided to work with cash backed CD because is the only way to grants the traders that the funds are blocked having CD the maturity date of one year from the issuing date.
1. Leasing of the instrument:
a. Borrower should submit the application form to lease a financial instrument with standard procedure. You already are familiar with that procedure which remains unchanged step by step, but for leasing fees payment (refer to point c.) and for return of the leased instrument (refer to point b.) because when the borrower apply for an instrument with payment of fees by bank backed promissory note to be discounted by the provider company, the lender, instead of sending the instrument to the borrower bank, will send it to the bank of the provider who will discount the promissory notes (as third party).
b. As the provider will supply to the borrower a POF using certificate of deposit cash backed (attachment 1) and Safekeeping Certificates of Deposit (attachment 2), two different agreements will be issued i.e.:
- leasing agreement between the LENDER and the BORROWER
- discounting bank instrument agreement, between the PROVIDER and the BORROWER, which will bear all references to the leasing agreement.
Of course, this procedure will avoid both due diligence and borrower bank engagement to return the instrument to the lender at the instrument maturity date, because it will be the provider bank that takes this engagement.
c. In the application form, you have to cross the OPTION “to receive the proof of funds (POF) instead of the instrument” . In that case, borrower must arrange for the payment of leasing fees by bank backed promissory notes (attachment 3) which expiring dates will be negotiated.
d. As a formality, necessary to comply with leasing agreement terms and conditions, the Lender will authorize the receiving bank - which in that case is the bank of the provider - to encumber or pledge the instrument against an official letter, signing by two bank officers, undertaking the obligation to return the instrument 15 days before his maturity date unencumbered and free of liens.
e. BORROWER must agree and confirm that certificate of deposit remains on deposit and cannot be collected.
2. Discount of the Bank Instrument:
An agreement will be signed between the provider company (third party) - willing and capable to exchange leased financial instrument against a “PROOF OF FUNDS / CD” - and the company who has leased the instrument (borrower). The POF/CD will be issued for the sum equal to 90% of instrument face value.
3. Proof of Funds (POF/CD):
POF/CD can be utilized to enter in a Trading Program (which can give very high profits) , as collateral of a credit line, etc.
4. Pre advice request:
The Lender is ready, willing and able to organize the delivery of a pre advice swift MT999 and MT 799 - neither from European nor from U.S. banks for non solicitation regulations - to the Borrower’s designated bank, after the payment to a lender designated clearing account of an amount of EUR 150,000.00 covering the banking expenses to organize the delivery of the pre advise swift. Swift transmission will be:
• MT999 direct to borrower designated bank, only if banks do not have same correspondent.
• MT799 direct to issuing bank correspondent in the Country where is located the borrower bank, for final delivery to the borrower bank,
This money will be refunded after successfully closing the transaction. the borrower has the right also to deduct it from the service fees total amount.

Procedure step-by-step:
1. CLIENTS SUBMIT A SIMPLE APPLICATION (SEE POINT 1.C) TO REQUEST THE LEASING OF AN INSTRUMENT SELECTED FROM OUR LIST.
2. APPLICATION FORM MUST BE COMPLETED WITH A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT (OR PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE BANK INSTRUMENT IS BEING LEASED) AND THE PASSPORT COPY OF THE AUTHORIZED SIGNATORY.
3. THE CONTRACT WILL BE SENT FOR SIGNATURE, AND IN THE SAME TIME THE BORROWER WILL RECEIVE AN INVOICE FOR THE EXPENSES DUE TO PERMIT TO COVER THE CALL OPTION EXPENSES TO RESERVE THE BANK INSTRUMENT, AMOUNTING TO:
FOR INSTRUMENTS WITH A FACE VALUE:
• UP TO 499 M. THE SETTLEMENT FEE IS EURO 20,000
• FROM 500 M. TO 999 M. THE SETTLEMENT FEE IS EURO 25,000
• FOR INSTRUMENTS ABOVE 1 B. THE SETTLEMENT FEE IS EURO 30,000.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS IN EURO NO MATTER WHAT CURRENCY THE INSTRUMENT IS IN.
(THIS MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED AFTER SUCCESSFULLY CLOSING OF THE TRANSACTION. THE BORROWER HAS THE RIGHT ALSO TO DEDUCT THE ABOVE MENTIONED AMOUNT FROM THE SERVICE FEES TOTAL AMOUNT).
4. AFTER RECEIPT OF ALL DOCUMENTS SIGNED AND OF THE DEPOSIT OF THE SUM ABOVE DESCRIBED, THE LENDER WILL PROVIDE FOR A PROFORMA INVOICE WITH ALL DETAILS OF THE BANK INSTRUMENT, CORPORATE DEED OF ASSIGNMENT, EUROCLEAR AND CLEARSTREAM PRINTOUT, BLOOMBERG OR SECURITY CARD OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE MARKET WHERE THE INSTRUMENT IS QUOTED .
5. AFTER VERIFICATION, THE BORROWER MUST PROVIDE FOR LEASING FEES PAYMENTS (PROMISSORY NOTES SIGNED PER AVAL BY AN ACCEPTABLE BANK ), NOT LATER THAN 20 DAYS FROM DATE OF PROFORMA INVOICE (POINT 4). PROMISSORY NOTES EXPIRING DATES MUST BE AGREED WITH THE LENDER
6. WHEN PROMISSORY NOTES ARE READY AND SIGNED PER AVAL BY BORROWER BANK, BORROWER MUST SEND THEM FOR APPROVAL BY E-MAIL TO THE LENDER. AFTER LENDER BANK APPROVAL OF THE AVAL SIGNATURES, THE BORROWER WILL RECEIVE BY E-MAIL THE INSTRUCTION WITH ADDRESS WHERE TO SEND ORIGINAL PROMISSORY NOTES.
