RE: LEGACY FUND MANAGEMENT

Our attention has been drawn to a publication on Citi FM online. The article suggests that clients of Legacy Fund Management are complaining that we have paid them only once and that we have not communicated subsequent payment dates.

We have kept communication with clients and furnished them with their statements during this period and notified them through text messages.

We receive funds in tranches and pass it on to clients when the Receiver and Liquidator releases them.

The SEC restored our License provisionally and we are working to achieve full recovery status. So far our plans are on course and we pray that our clients support us to reach full operation so we can conclude all arrangements. We continue to furnish the Securities & Exchange Commission with reports on our operations including ongoing payments and efforts to retrieve our funds.
We are open to listen to our clients and have provided an open door and various ways by which clients can reach us with their concerns. We continue to encourage our clients to use the channels provided to help address all their concerns. Publications in the media and alarmist statements only worsen things for everyone.
We are committed to the revival of our business for our own sake and our client’s sake. One sure way to our future revival will be to satisfy everyone and the SEC. We believe will be successful and we ask for the support of our clients, and pray for their forbearance to work with the plan agreed.

Thank you.
