Green Self Reliance, Inc.
Dear Mr. Dawes,
I write to extend the Government of Serra Leone’s welcome and support for Green Self
Reliance, Inc. (GSR). GSR’s rural development model is highly complementary to the
Government of Serra Leone’s long standing commitment, placing an emphasis on
encouraging local economic growth and agricultural development in rural areas. Your
model is socially inclusive, environmentally sustainable, and financially viable. There
is a great potential for growth in Serra Leone’s agricultural sector necessitating the
need to develop long term strategic partnerships with companies that have the
expertise to help engineer and guide sustainable rural growth.
In view of the above, Government of Serra Leone is completely supportive of GSR’s
development model and ready to offer every cooperation necessary to make the
proposed GSR development project in this country a success. We understand that the
GSR project is uniquely suited to our developmental requirements for the following
reasons:
1. Village Focus
2. On-site master plan development
3. Empowering traditional leadership
4. Connecting cutting edge appropriate technology with local expertise
5. Cooperative marketing
6. Reinvestment of profits
I hereby extend to you an invitation to Sierra Leone as a guest of the President so that
you can engage with His Excellency and other Senior Government Ministers and
Officials with a view to expediting your company’s investment proposals in this
country.

2. Please present this letter to the Sierra Leone Embassy Washington DC so that you can
be accorded the necessary cordialities appertaining to this invitation. You will then
need to confirm your travel plans immediately thereafter so that all necessary
formalities for receiving you and your team can be put in place from this end.
We look forward to working with GSR to bring economic prosperity to our country.
Please accept our very best assurances
Hon. Ibrahim B Kargbo
Special Presidential Adviser
