In Apapa was ADD the account manager van the Primlaks group. Primlaks importeerde met eigen koelschepen vis via Apapa in Nigeria. De vis werd gevangen door Russische fabrieks schepen en "midsea" overgeladen op de reefers van Primlaks. Er was grote vraag naar vis sinds droogte in Nigeria die de veestapel decimeerde.

Transcription

mr R. Hemnani, chairman Primlaks Group of Companies 41/45 Neal street London. England A.D.Dirkzwager Barnetfield Black Hall Lane Seven Oaks England London, 27th June 1979 Dear Mr Rattan, Further to our discussions we have held in the past, I regret to inform you that both our standpoints on what is a decent remuneration for being employed by your group, is lying so far apart that it is not any use to continue the discussion. Right from the very beginning I have indicated that we are talking about DG 150.000 p.a., if you ever seriously attempting to employ me. This amount is not out of the markt for a person of my caliber. Secondly the cost of living is expensive in the Netherlands; Thirdly the type of job will be much more demanding than my present job; Fourthly the offered DG 100.000 salary is not a distinct improvement over what I earn presently, if include my fringe benefits. I hope you will appreciate the above consideration and I hope also that we meet each other in Rotterdam. Kind regards, Adriaan D.Dirkzwager
