Yes, it
does help greatly.
Just one
last thing. Why wouldn’t diamonds be accepted as “primary security” given how
easy it would be for me or anyone for that matter with significant “net worth”
to sell the diamonds and not only get cash but not be subjected to the rather
large “spread” between the wholesale and retail price of diamonds whether or
not industrial diamonds produced in machines or gem quality that most would
agree at least up until now have only come out of the ground?
Moreover,
why would I even care given how a Bank Guarantee or Letter of Credit would amount to the
exact same thing, possibly costing me a few pennies more for the paper work for
“limited liability”, i.e. how could I possibly go wrong?

Membership
is now all on a Limited Liability basis for new investors. Diamonds would not
be acceptable as primary security but as collateral for a Bank Guarantee or
Letter of Credit would I am sure be fine but subject to whatever commercial
terms that the bank would require. My colleague will drop you a line shortly
with a few more details but I hope this helps in the short-term.

Perhaps
it would help speed up matters if you could simply tell me, assuming there were
of course openings whether or not the exposure was “limited” or “unlimited”,
whether a very significant balance sheet, i.e. net worth made up mostly of
certified diamonds would be acceptable?

Good day,
I have been
referred to you by Deborah Moor of Lloyds of London.
Back in the
mid to late 1980s I nearly became a “Name” and I would like to know if there
are any openings.
Thank you
for your consideration,
