Dear Phil Knight,
I hope this letter finds you well. Your extraordinary journey with Nike has not only revolutionized the athletic footwear and apparel industry but also inspired millions around the world to dream bigger and push their limits.
At Africa.XYZ Bank, we are embarking on a groundbreaking initiative designed to reshape the financial landscape and drive significant progress in Africa and beyond. Our mission is to harness the collective strength of the world’s wealthiest individuals and institutions by inviting them to deposit just 1% of their net worth. These funds will be directed towards bold innovations, visionary entrepreneurs, organizations, and governments to finance major projects that will shape the future.
Given your unparalleled success in building a global brand that stands for innovation, excellence, and empowerment, we believe your involvement would bring unmatched inspiration and momentum to this initiative. Your legacy of transforming passion into purpose aligns seamlessly with our vision to create lasting change and unlock Africa’s potential.
With a commitment of 1% of your net worth, amounting to $348 million, we can achieve significant milestones in three key areas:
- Funding Startups: We could fund 348 high-growth startups, allocating $1 million to each. This investment would foster entrepreneurship, create jobs, and drive economic diversification, particularly in industries that empower youth and athletes across the continent.
- Scaling Renewable Energy Projects: We could scale 4 renewable energy megaprojects, with an allocation of $75 million for each project. This would accelerate the transition to sustainable energy, reduce carbon emissions, and ensure a healthier planet for future generations.
- Building Infrastructure: We could invest in building 17 kilometers of pan-African rail, at a cost of $20 million per kilometer. This development would enhance connectivity, boost trade, and create opportunities for communities to thrive, much like how Nike has connected and empowered people globally.
We are planning a grand launch ceremony on January 30th, 2026, and we would be honored if you could join us. Your presence would inspire a new wave of innovation and investment, demonstrating the power of visionary leadership in driving meaningful change.
Your commitment to this initiative would not only amplify its impact but also encourage other global leaders to join us in building a brighter, more sustainable future. Together, we can create a legacy that extends beyond business and into the heart of Africa’s growth and transformation.
Please consider this invitation as a call to be part of a movement that aims to redefine what is possible. We look forward to the possibility of welcoming you to Africa.XYZ Bank and working together to empower the next generation.
Thank you for considering our invitation. We eagerly await your positive response.
Warm regards,
Anderson Anonzo
