Dear Natia,

 

It is a pleasure to be introduced, and we look forward to working together with you in combatting the COVID-19 situation in Georgia.

 

Our draft loan agreement is nearly ready, and we intend to share the same, along with our formal Invitation to Negotiate, within a few hours from now, to enable you to initiate the authorizations process at the earliest (hopefully, by 6 PM Tbilisi time today).

 

Best Regards,

Dear Mehek,

 

Let me introduce myself. I have recently joined the Public Debt Management Team as a Deputy Head. I am happy to cooperate with you, AIIB and WB, especially on so important aspects for my country.

 

Dear Mehek, further to your mail bellow, please let us know, if you have proceeded with the draft loan agreement and be able to share it with us?

Since the process to get to negotiations require some time after receiving the draft loan agreement, in order to proceed with the negotiations on May 07, 2020, it’s fundamental that we receive draft loan agreement as soon as possible.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

We highly appreciate your kind cooperation and support.

Let me express our gratitude for your effort.

 

 

 

Sincerely yours,

Dear Mehek,

Thank you for the notification. I will take into account the proposed time.

Let me ask you to send draft loan agreement earlier, because according to our internal procedures we have to obtain the authorization for negotiations which takes several days.

Thank you in advance,

Regards,

Niko
