An Open Letter
To the High Net Worth Investor:
(investment portfolios
totalling $1M or more)
Modern investment innovations
have offered many ways to put one's capital at risk to seek a
potential gain, however, few vehicles have proven reliable
to protect wealth through time.
Only a relatively small group
of people ever manage to attain and, of subsequent importance,
to maintain a high level of net worth. It signifies you as someone
who has earned a superior degree of financial freedom, and, as
likely, one who expects higher levels of financial flexibility,
convenience and service in all your wealth-management dealings.
 For centuries gold's monetary significance
has solidified its status as a universal safe haven for wealth
preservation. Likely, an awareness of this maxim has brought
you here today -- although many high net worth individuals have
sought us out after reading The ABCs of Gold Investing,
the pre-eminent gold investment guide authored by Michael J.
Kosares, founder and CEO of USAGOLD-Cententennial Precious Metals,
Inc.
With over three decades in
the gold business, we are intimately familiar with the spectrum
of challenges you face as steward of your wealth. We will cater
our services to your unique needs, just as we have done for our
thousands of satisfied clients over the years. When you choose
USAGOLD-Centennial Precious Metals to assist in your acquisition
of gold, you immediately benefit through enlistment of our expertise
and reputable industry standing, and as a high net worth investor
you'll enjoy an outstanding level of personal service and capability
not matched elsewhere.
A typical money manager or
retirement planner is often ill-suited to offer the facilities
necessary to enter this specialized market on behalf of the investor.
In fact, still fewer can accommodate the individual who wishes
to purchase gold in quantity. By contrast, securing a few thousand
British sovereigns or several hundred contemporary gold bullion
coins is exactly what we do for our clients as a matter of daily
business -- reliably and judiciously.
We welcome you to our firm
and invite you to contact us toll free for a consultation on
gold and specific portfolio diversification strategies as we
assist you through all purchasing, holding and sales logistics.
When you call,
please identify yourself as a high net worth investor for routing
to the proper broker.

Two experiences worth noting:
$1 million invested becomes
$1.5 million
We recently did an appraisal
for a client who was looking to borrow for a real estate transaction.
He invested $1 million about four years ago in a mixture of contemporary
bullion and the pre-1933 European gold coins* -- weighted in
favor of the pre-1933 gold coins. That purchase is now worth
just short of $1.5 million.
"I have viewed [gold],"
he said, "as a hedge, but also as an alternative to money
market funds. Now I can leverage it for investment purposes --
private equity and real estate mostly. The holding has averaged
7%-10% of my total assets. And I do hope to buy substantially
more, when appropriate. Thanks again."
Please note that this client
is not selling his gold but borrowing against it for a business
venture. This is an astute investor. His returns tell a story
worth thinking about in this age of 3% money and wavering-to-collapsing
stock portfolios.
He is not unlike a great many
other USAGOLD-Centennial Precious Metals' clients.

Gold trumps bank cd's
"I read the article in
the newsletter about one of [USAGOLD's] clients' buying 1 million
of gold 4 years ago and it now being worth 1.5 million. I have
a similar true story if you would like to use it. About 4 years
ago I talked my father into converting about a third of his cash
into gold, mostly pre-33 Sovereigns. I bought for him from CPM
approximately $80,000 when spot gold was about $290. He had the
rest of his money in 1-2% CD's in the bank. My father passed
away recently and I am executor. He willed my brother $250,000
which was essentially all of his gold and cash. I gave my brother
the gold along with the bank CD's. While the CD's had earned
barely a pittance in those 4 years the gold had become 41% more
valuable.
"So instead of receiving
$250,000 my brother really received about $282,800 ($80,000 x
141% = $112,800 or + $32,800). Had my father converted all his
paper money to gold my brother would have received $352,500.
Ironically my father was very conservative and didn't like to
gamble. In this case his biggest gamble was watching those CD's
smolder and not acquiring real money -- gold."
*Most high-net worth clients
purchase gold for asset preservation. The pre-1933 European gold
coins offer a low cost approach for those concerned about possible
government intervention in the gold market. For more information
on this subject, we recommend bringing it up in your initial
discussion with one of our representatives.
