Apology for the late response as it was month end and busy with all of the changes that is currently on going. Firstly , Thank You for acknowledging my email in this matter. Thank you so much for the opportunity that we can stay in touch. My personal email is - rbagwandeen46@gmail.com. My contact number is 083 969 5850. On this cellular number you can either contact me telephonically and also via WhatsApp. Changes in the workforce always come with its challenges , but I am confident and looking forward to whatever the future holds. Having spent over 15 years in the Medical Distribution industry at Nyala Technologies as Office Manager / Bookkeeper and often managing the company in the absence of Mr. Helme during his absence from the office , has given me the opportunity to assist with the growth of the business as a respected business entity and service provider in the medical industry. With the strict rules regarding B-BBEE ( Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment ) and woman empowerment in South Africa and my past working experience , I believe that I can play a pivotal role in whatever the future holds. I am an indian female but under the B-BBEE I am classified as Black. I have taken the liberty of attaching my reference later that I received from Mr. Helme on the 1st October 2025 for your perusal and may I ask that the communication between ourselves will not be disclosed as it is currently a sensitive matter and discussions still on-going with Mr. Helme and the prospective entities he is in contact with. I am meeting Chris tomorrow and should I hear of any further developments , I will inform you. I would really appreciate it if you can take me into consideration before making your final decision on the Distributor for South Africa when Mr.Helme informs UTAK. Over the past years I built an exceptional relationship with my UTAK customers. If you ever need a reference from my customers, I will gladly also provide you with their details. Thanking you in advance. Take care. Many Thanks & Kind Regards Mrs Rajes Bagwandeen
