The cement industry is a relatively small but significant component of the U.S. Economy, with annual shipments valued at around $8.6 billion. In the United States, 39 companies operate 118 cement plants in 38 states. Worldwide, the United States ranks third in cement production, behind China, the worlds leading producer and India.

21st Equity Homes Manufacturing Inc. is an OFFICIAL DIRECT MANDATE HOLDER and our Partners, ISO 9001 and 14001 certified companys, have allocations with over sixty (60) Cement Factories worldwide.

The main manufacturers are CEMEX, Holcim, and many others and you are certainly free to go directly to them. However, most of their cement and cement of the other large manufacturers is pre-sold through Allocation Holders who then in turn sell the cement to buyers like yourself.

We are willing and able to supply an unlimited supply of Cement to Any Safe World Port (ASWP) providing that you abide to our conditions, which include but are not limited to:

Our partners have signed chartered Agreements with some of the largest Cement conglomerates owning and distribute cement from various Mills worldwide.

We are able to supply the product and quantity that you need. If you are interested in sourcing through our allocations please read the details on our procedures.

We consider ourselves as truly CIF ASWP suppliers as not everybody in the market can use this statement correctly! Furthermore we have one of the best payment options to be offered to any potential buyer. OUR PRICES ARE THE SAME CIF TO ANY SAFE WORLD PORT!

 

PROCEDURES

As OFFICIAL & DIRECT MANDATE HOLDER 21st Equity Homes Manufacturing Inc. builds relationships with our clients (suppliers and buyers) based on professionalism, mutual respect and perfect service, leading to the optimization of the cement supply chain. As deadlines are critical and trust is usually a major factor our major Supplier provides Proof of Product (POP) and Operative Performance Guarantee of 2% before the buyers operative LC!

In addition, we accept NON-TRANSFERABLE financial instruments and we provide all Certificates such as GOST, SABS Certification, SONCAP Certification, EN 197, BSS 12, ASTM C-150 Certification, Emirates Quality Mark Certification, SASO Certification as requested by the buyer FREE OF CHARGE!

At 21st Equity we realize that time is money and therefore we treat our clients with the same mutual respect. Therefore, you will fully understand why these procedures are being put in place, both for your protection and ours. In addition, we will send you a NCNDA for signature by both parties, once again in order to protect both our interests.

As can be seen from the link above, 21st Equity has already placed its supply capability credentials on its website, which verifies the direct mandates to supply 500 million metric tons per annum. Hence, it is imperative that any potential buyer and/or cement buyer consortium affords us a similar proof of financial capability to transact. In reality 21st Equity needs to see if funds are in place to proceed with any proposed cement purchase transaction. Hence, it is imperative that a potential cement buyer then contacts 21st Equity directly to discuss any potential transaction by showing Proof of Funds (POF) via a Bank Comfort Letter (BCL).

As mentioned, our direct supply mandate with a 500 million metric tons per annum has been confirmed by an international law firm Pinsent Masons, and is available for all our potential clients to see. In doing so we have differentiated ourselves from the many incompetent players in the industry. Given the above our requirement is that clients provide us with a BCL from their bankers first. Thereafter, a non-operative LC is required, thereafter we would provide a POP. Our DRAFT SALES & PURCHASE AGREEMENT is readily available to be downloaded and studied (with your Lawyers) at your leisure.

Our credentials have been openly placed on record. All we ask is that we too are dealing with like minded business people who also put their credentials forward.

Unfortunately, we have had numerous instances and very bad examples of TIME WASTER and FAKE BUYERS with falsified documents or buyers who just sign purchase contracts without having any funds for the Commodity available. Therefore we have changed our procedures and will only entertain serious buyers (and their intelligent direct agents) who can clearly demonstrate that:

a)    The Buyer is financially able to purchase the minimum quantity of 150,000 MT per year for $78.00 per MT = $11,700,000 (Eleven Million Seven Hundred Thousand USD) for a 12 months contract.

b)    The Buyer must be willing to accept our contract and payment terms as laid out in the DRAFT SALES & PURCHASE AGREEMENT, which you can download here and you can study the contract with your lawyers at your leisure. If you would like to receive this draft agreement in Word Format, you can request it here.

 

PROCEDURES FOR BUYERS PROOF OF FUNDS & OUR SUPPLIERS PROOF OF PRODUCT

These procedures below must be given in the Buyers ICPO (plus BCL attached) as confirmation of accepting the SELLERS TERMS and PROCEDURES, otherwise 21st Equity and the SELLER will not issue the FCO or a DRAFT CONTRACT. These procedures are typical but we have the right to modify them for different transaction types.

The Buyer issues an Irrevocable Corporate Purchase Order (ICPO) with full banking Information and not sanitized or Internet circulated ICPO. The Buyer also issues a Bank Comfort Letter (BCL) as per our template or Swift MT799 or NON-Operative LC. The L/C will be issued or confirmed by Top 50 Prime World Bank, Western European, UK or United States based bank. NOTHING ELSE IS ACCEPTABLE!

Please take note of the following:

1. No more commission will be given to what is on the pricelist. Agents should learn to work together. This is not a get rich quick scheme. If you ask for more commissions you will be deleted in our database! So dont even try!

2. Agents should talk to the buyer and send their own offers out. We will only work on a contract on the receipt of a signed FCO, an ICPO from the buyer with a verified BCL. No time wasters or Broker Daisy Chains will be entertained.

OPTION 1

Our major Supplier can provide a partial POP (Proof of Product) in form of an AFFIDAVIT, CONFIRMED BY THE SELLERS BANK. This will be supplied AFTER the Buyers Bank issues a BANK COMFORT LETTER (BCL), which confirms that the buyer has the financial means and capacity to proceed with the proposed transaction (Proof of Funds). You can download a sample BCL here, which needs to be provided to us in order to proceed to contract stage. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY REQUESTS WHERE THE BUYER IS NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE A BANK COMFORT LETTER.

Or (Read carefully)

OPTION 2

Our major Supplier can provide a partial POP in form of an AFFIDAVIT, CONFIRMED BY THE SELLERS BANK when a payment of $30,000 Buyers Good Faith Deposit has been received into an Escrow Account. The $30,000 is fully refundable when the buyer has fulfilled his obligations under the SALES & PURCHASE AGREEMENT. Should the buyer, after signing the SALES AND PURCHASE CONTRACT, fail to deliver the non-operative or operative LC within the time frame of 30 days or for any other reason breach this agreement, the seller has the right to cancel the agreement and keep the Buyers Good Faith Deposit for defaulting of the SALES & PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

Or (Read carefully)

OPTION 3

Our major Supplier issues full POP on a NON-ACTIVE L/C alone, before the operative LC of the buyer! Full POP is a bank to bank instrument and includes ports of loading, delivery schedule etc. We put our money where our mouth is and our suppliers contracts will reflect their firm intent and ability to do business and provide real cement at real prices.

These procedures above GUARANTEE that we know we are dealing with a solvent and potential buyer and in return it ensures that the buyer and the buyers bank are fully aware that the seller is A GENUINE & DIRECT SELLER and has the capacity and financial standing to deliver the quantity of Portland Cement as ordered. We put our money where our mouth is and our suppliers contracts will reflect their firm intent and ability to do business and provide real cement at real prices. Can you pay for the Commodity?

SPECIAL NOTE: The buyer is allowed to visit the loading port and will receive POP and copies of past performance documents bank to bank as soon as he issues a NON-OPERATIVE LC or a simple SWIFT for funds MT 799

The options above are based on new procedures introduced by our Suppliers and Cement Mills due to malpractice of many bogus buyers who do not perform. This is a way to eliminate fake, bogus buyers as well as time wasters from any serious business transactions within the cement commodity arena. If a buyer pays either the above mentioned fee and/or provides a BCL, the buyer will be treated seriously and the Cement Mills will sell the cement, otherwise the buyer will be ignored as a time waster.

When you think about all the FCOs and Draft contracts, which are sent out every year that amounted to nothing, you will realize that various Governments across the world are practicing damage limitations for their economy and the World economy. The time wasters do not realize what they are doing to world economy by producing fake ICPOs and bogus BCLs. This is why ICC, FBI and Interpol issued WARNING LETTERs (we can send a copy to you on request). 21st Equity and our suppliers are handling these issues in our own way.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

What is the relationship between 21^st Equity Homes and the Sellers Name signing the contract?

21st Equity is OFFICIAL DIRECT MANDATE HOLDER for the seller who is the Allocation Holder of various cement suppliers worldwide. We, 21st Equity never receive any funds from the buyer nor do we have access to the bank to bank transactions, which are strictly between the seller and the buyer. Our role is to offer a risk adverse environment to both the Buyer and Seller and facilitate the successful closure of the deals. Full responsibility will at all times remain the prerogative of the Buyer and Seller and their respective banks.

Different people did inform us that there are some fake companies that are trying to get LCs to their bank and receive from their bank loan facilities on those contracts and LCs. The fraudsters will never ship any product at the end, and will just use the LC to try to obtain financial facilities from their bank. How can I be assured that 21^st Equity would not be doing the same?

We, on behalf of the seller never ask for an OPERATIVE LC! We offer on our web site and in our introduction emails as well as stated in our brochures that all the seller requires is a NON-OPERATIVE LC and then the seller will provide POP (Proof of Product) and proof of his capability to deliver to the buyer. This ensures that the buyer and the buyers bank are fully aware that the seller is A GENUINE SELLER and has the capacity and financial standing to deliver the quantity of Portland cement as ordered.

What will guarantee the shipment to be cement?

SGS will certify as per contract, clause 6; PRODUCT WEIGHT AND QUALITY that the commodity that is being loaded is as per specifications, weight and standards, AS PER CONTRACT! The seller will only get paid if this company (SGS) provides the buyer or the buyers bank the said documents as stipulated in the contract, clause 14; PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION PER LIFT. Thus if the product is not cement, the seller will not get paid!

What will guarantee that there is cement at all with this company?

The BUYER has an operative Performance Bond of 2% in their bank from the sellers side! If the Seller does not deliver the cement as stipulated the buyer will claim the Performance Bond and the contract will immediately be canceled due to non performance on the sellers part. Thus the seller gives a 2% Performance Bond before any shipment is sent that the buyer has in his bank to use if there is no performance on the sellers side! AS PER CONTRACT!

As you know millions of Containers with all kind of goods (INCL. PORTLAND CEMENT) are being shipped across the world everyday and that is why SGS and other verification companies exist to protect buyer and seller with 100% secured quality and quantity control procedures.

Why do we require a BCL - Proof of Funds Letter?

http://www.thinkglink.com/Proof_Of_Funds_Letter.htm

Read the above article and then you will understand that we and our suppliers have NO TIME TO WASTE with bogus buyers of Portland Cement.

Have you ever purchased Real Estate?

Then you know that without a downpayment of 10% into an escrow account you are NOT being entertained by any Real Estate Agent nor by any serious seller! So why should we take you seriously if you cannot provide proof that you have the funds available to purchase for a few Million Dollars Portland Cement from us?

We can deliver and give you POP as laid out above, please provide us with a NON-OPERATIVE LC or BCL, showing that you have the funds available. ONLY THEN we will take the transaction further.
