Dear Sir,
This
message serves two objectives.
The first
is to thank you for starting a legal proceeding in the USA to try and recover
from Sri Lanka the full amount of the principal and accrued interest on the USD
250 million in international sovereign bonds due in July 2025, which is highly
improbable given that the nation has already been declared bankrupt.
The second
and most significant goal is to beg and ask for the due amounts to be recovered
from the personal riches of individuals who brought Sri Lanka to its knees on
behalf of the people of the nation.
Because of
the ruthless robbery of public funds in Sri Lanka, as you have pointed out, the
very people who caused this crisis have accumulated wealth beyond anyone's wildest
dreams and safely stashed them in other countries, notably the United States of
America.
With a
typical household income of $120 USD per month and a GDP per capita of roughly
$4100 USD, Sri Lanka is a highly underdeveloped country.
We shall
be a doomed country with no chance of recovery and a very dark future if this
money must also be paid from national resources in some way.
Therefore, my
supplication on behalf of all the honest and law-abiding people of Sri Lanka is
to press hard to recover your due amounts from the perpetrators who have their
ill-gotten wealth in properties, investments etc. in many parts of the free world,
including the United States of America.
Thank you in advance
for your consideration.
Sasanka De Silva.
