Your Excellency:
On behalf of Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP (“SPB"), thank you for the opportunity to represent
the Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Angola (the "Government") as part of a
comprehensive program to: (1) bring Angola’s financial system up to international standards so
commercial banks can resume dollar-denominated transactions, (2) increase US trade and
investment, and (3) enhance Angola’s profile in the United States. We are honored to serve the
Government and look forward to working with you.
The Engagement Agreement responds to requirements in the rules of professional ethics and is
intended to achieve a better understanding between us. We request that you review the
Engagement Agreement carefully. By proceeding with this engagement, you will be indicating to
us that you have done so. It is important that you review and understand the terms of our
relationship, such as the section on “Conflicts of Interest.” For many of our clients from nations
other than the United States, the section on "Conflicts of Interest" makes our agreement on
conflicts similar if not identical to the ethics rules for lawyers in your country.
Joseph L. Brand and I will be principally responsible for SPB’s work on this matter. We will be
supported by a broad and experienced team of colleagues, many of whom you met in
Washington, DC. In addition, SPB will execute a subcontractor agreement with Erme Capital
Ltd. (“EC") who will assist SPB in its representation of the Government. Finally, SPB and EC will
register pursuant to the US Foreign Agent Registration Act before engaging in political activities
on behalf of the Government.

We will deposit the Retainer into our client escrow account and transfer the Monthly Fee to our
