I probably should include the remainder of the email chain between Berwick and Fathi. It outlines the quoted price of $80,000 USD as a 50% deposit on two Mexico passports.

Hi Fathi,

Chris has spoken to me about some of the issues you have and also how flexible you are on the process (which is good because it gives TDV Global a lot more options in case there is a problem/delay).

Just for your information, Chris Martin is TDV Global's Managing Partner while Ahmad runs the Canadian and UAE representative offices, also a partnership.

But TDV Media is the original parent company of which I am CEO. Chris Martin oversees all of TDV Global but was previously Managing Partner on TDV Passports. So his duties have remained virtually the same even though he has advanced the business tremendously.

I operate TDV Media and I trust these men with my business interests, both Mr. Martin and Mr. Ahmad.

And yes, I can verify that one of the programs (the one I think they will likely put you on) has had a 100% success rate and numerous clients. If you do need to come to Acapulco (which you probably don't) I am very happy to meet you here. If you do end up having to come for residency or naturalization then it is part of TDV Global's service to attend to the client from the moment they arrive at the airport and while I am not involved in the day-to-day operation I am happy to meet nonetheless.

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Best,

Jeff Berwick

Dear Mr Berwick

Thanks for your response. I attach the agreement that I need to sign and the authorized signature is yourself, so I was expecting you to give me some indication on the Mexican program that you offer and attach your name too. I was told I am requested to come to Acapulco which I can see from the website is where your located. I would expect that you would meet and greet your clients when visiting to get there passport? I sure would like to meet you to discuss some investments in Mexico property as I may be relocating with my wife.

Please dear would you give me some assurances as the authorized signatory of my TDV contact on an estimate of how many successful applications you have done for Mexico citizenship and an estimation, based on those successes, on how long it usually takes from beginning to end.

I will not feel comfortable wiring $80k to TDV unless I get some concrete numbers which I trust you can provide because so far Mr Martin & Mr Ahmad have been somewhat vague.

I trust you understand dear, this is alot of my money and I want it to be spent well.

Thanks, Fathi

Hello,

Nice to meet you. I'm sorry for the delay and to be so brief with my response but I travel internationally extensively and I am currently in-between conference speaking engagements.

Yes, I know Mr. Martin (a dear close personal friend for 15 years) and Mr. Ahmad in Abu Dhabi...and his father (Ahmad's father in Abu Dhabi)...they are very good men and very loyal to customers....Mr. Ahmad and Mr. Martin manage the Passports operations and I am sure either Ahmad or Mr. Martin can answer any questions you have.

Let me know if I can help you in any other way.

Best,

Jeff

Dear Mr Berwick

I am strongly considering your Mexican passport service and have been in talks with your colleagues Mr Chris Martin & Ahmad.

As your based in Acapulco and run TDV I was hoping you could rest my mind and confirm how many successful applications you have done for Mexico, if there have been any rejections or complications and if it has indeed been just a few months to get the passport? Your clarity will comfort me in proceeding.

I intend to make my first payment next week and just want to get a clear idea from all parties involved as there will be alot of good faith from my side.

I also look forward to hopefully meeting you on my visit to Mexico?

Dearly
Fathi
