2. I am currently arranging a further repayement of £ 200,000.00 to Hapo UK. As this is coming from my Pension Fund (SIPP) this should not take long.

“1. All is going well with my plan to sell my Gate Lodge to my Pension Fund. The valuation is next week and after that things should be quite quick. This will release repayment funds to Hapo UK Limited…. I am hoping the amount is around £ 200,000. This will leave an outstanding balance of
£ 175,000.00 from me personally on my Directors Loan Account.
2. It may be that I am able to pay the balance in one shot. I will let you know. Failing that I will register the outstanding mortgage immediately and pay it off in chuncks.

In een brief van 14 mei 2016:

Upon taking the loan we both knew that a proportion of the loan repayment would come from my work concerning the sale and operation of Lisa A in Indonesia. This was agreed and discussed on several occasions by you and I and that agreement was firmly made, it is a matter of record.
[…]
Notwithstanding the above, we both knew, since taking the loan, that I (via You Maritime Limited) am entitled to 2,25% of the puchase price for Lisa A. We had shaken hands on this figure in the early summer of 2015 (after some negotiation in your office) and you refer to this contract in your email of 2nd October 2015.
