“When you have a chance I wanted to find a time to discuss a highly confidential and time sensitive investment opportunity in a private company that is considering a transaction to raise additional capital.
For confidentiality reasons, I am unable to tell you the name of the company unless you agree not to use such information other than in connection with your evaluation of the investment opportunity and to keep all information that we reveal to you strictly confidential. All I can tell you is that it is a private company, but that its stock trades in a limited manner on certain private markets.
If you are a participant in trading on private markets, you may wish to decline receiving information about this opportunity because of the restrictions that will be imposed on you, which I will now describe.
If you agree not to use information that we reveal to you (including the name of the company and that the company is considering a transaction) other than in connection with your evaluation of the investment opportunity and to keep all such information strictly confidential until the information has become public, I will be able to disclose the name of the company and provide you with more information about the company and the investment opportunity.
In addition, certain information we will reveal to you about the investment opportunity and the related transaction will constitute material nonpublic information about this private company. US federal securities laws impose restrictions on certain securities trading on the basis of material nonpublic information.
You must agree that if we disclose to you information regarding the company, the investment opportunity and the related transaction, you will not purchase or sell the company’s securities until the earlier of (i) the date when all of the information either has been publicly disclosed or is no longer material and (ii) 6 months after the date on which we provide you the information.
However, even after such 6 month period has elapsed, trading in the company’s securities will remain subject to federal securities laws and you will need to determine at the time of any transaction, in consultation with your advisors and based upon the prevailing facts and circumstances, whether purchasing or selling the company’s securities would be in compliance with such laws.
If you agree to these restrictions either by responding to this email or verbally on any subsequent telephone conversation that we have, I will send you an email confirming your agreement to be subject to these restrictions and, on that basis, will provide you with a summary of the investment opportunity.”
That’s weird – I just got the same email from my Nigerian Prince broker…
Sounds like they are talking about Lenny Dykstra’s comeback financial vehicle, the Bouncy Check Inc., specializes in cleaning foreclosed homes in OC. Get in now before it’s too late.
Greetings.
This is the Secretary of War at the State Department of the United States. We have a problem. The companies want something done about this sluggish world economic situation. Profits have been running a little thin lately and we need to stimulate some growth Now we know
there’s an alarmingly high number of young people roaming around in your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police and damage private property. It doesn’t look like they’ll ever get a job. It’s about time we did something constructive with these people. We’ve got thousands of ‘em here too. They’re crawling all over. The companies think it’s time we all sit down, have a serious get-together and start another war. The President? He loves the idea! All those missiles streaming overhead to and fro… Napalm… People running down the road, skin on fire. The Soviets seem up for it; The Kremlin’s been itching for the real thing for years. Hell, Afghanistan’s no fun. So whadya say? We don’t even have to win this war. We just want to cut down on some of this excess population. Now look. Just start up a draft; draft as many of those people as you can. We’ll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on, hand ‘em some speed, give ‘em an hour or two to learn how to use an automatic rifle and send ‘em on their way. Libya? El Salvador? How ’bout Northern Ireland? Or a “moderately repressive regime” in South America? We’ll just cook up a good Soviet threat story in the Middle East — we need that oil. We had Libya all ready to go and Colonel Khadafy’s hit squad didn’t even show up. I tell ya, that man is unreliable. The Kremlin had their fingers on the button just like we did for that one. Now just think for a minute. We can make this war so big, so BIG, the more people we kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper. We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queue if we plan this right. Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls. Now don’t worry about demonstrations, just pump up your drug supply. So many people have hooked themselves on heroin and amphetamines since we took over, it’s just like Vietnam. We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got too strong. Kept the war functioning just fine. It’s easy. We’ve got our college kids so interested in beer
they don’t even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again. Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard, they wouldn’t even know what it looked like. So how ’bout it? Look. War is money. The arms manufacturers tell me unless we get our bomb factories up to full production the whole economy is going to collapse. The Soviets are in the same boat. We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say? That’s excellent. We knew you’d agree. The companies will be very pleased.
Securities Regulation might have been a dozen cases of beer to long ago but doesnt this constitute as an offer to sell securities…?
But more importantly, is this the same guy who handled that copper and iron deal at Columbia? ‘Cuz if it is I’m on board!
I missed this voicemail, facebook collapses and now ConnectU is raising new capital. Warren
