Happy Networking and Investing,

I would like to offer a great investment opportunity In Medellin, Colombia. My friend Carlos developed an excellent business model to address healthcare issues for ambulatory surgeries in the city, a growing industry attractive to both local and international customers. His business proposal went well until his banker, fiduciary agent and managing company decided they wanted to keep the deal for themselves. Now he needs an Angel Investor to come in with at least four (4) million dollars to complete the ambulatory surgery clinic, aesthetic center and health spa, to service the 43 private doctor’s office he built and sold in the SPAZIO Medical Tower. Three (3) million dollars will be used to boot out the bank and fiduciary agent from the deal and the other 1 million is to complete, equip and begin operations on the Top 3 floors of the twelve (12) story Medical Tower he built in the heart of Medellin City. For more information, please contact me at henrycaraballo@gmail.com or call me at 57 3 3146761517 or 57 4 4138983, and I will fill you in on this excellent investment opportunity, you won’t want to miss.
