[Abdul Majeed Shoman](/people/abdul-majeed-shoman/) was the Chairman and General Manager of Arab Bank Limited in Amman, [Jordan](/places/jordan/). He wrote a letter to [George K. Pender](/people/george-k-pender/) of [FIDCO](/organizations/first-intercontinental-development-corporation/) on November 23, 1983, stating that Arab Bank, along with a group of other banks, would be glad to cooperate concerning a fund to reconstruct [Lebanon](/places/lebanon/). Shoman confirmed that there would be "no problem to take care of" a financial transaction amounting to "US$ three billion or more," provided the condition in [Lebanon](/places/lebanon/) was clear and subject to the approval and counter guarantees of the Lebanese Authority.[^1]
