Re: Proposal for Sale of Prime Land on Old Entebbe Road
Dear Ms. Nampeera Mbowa,
I am honored to present for your consideration an offer for the sale of prime land located directly on Old Entebbe Road, Kitala Parish, Katabi Town Council. The plot measures 50 decimals (½ acre) and occupies a commanding position along one of Uganda’s busiest highways, the vital link between Kampala City and Entebbe International Airport.
This land offers unmatched commercial potential, including:
– Constant high traffic flow from commuters, airport travelers, and regional trade.
– Direct frontage and easy accessibility on Old Entebbe Road.
– Perfect size and positioning for a fuel station, a big supermarket, convenience store, or logistics hub.
At present, TotalEnergies has very few stations along Entebbe Road, especially in the big and fast-growing areas. Yet, many high-value clients strongly prefer fueling with TotalEnergies and Shell. Your absence here forces them to rely on competitors, creating a serious disadvantage for your loyal customers and a missed opportunity for your brand.
By acquiring this land, TotalEnergies would immediately close this gap, serve its customers more effectively, and secure a dominant presence along Old Entebbe Road. This investment would not only strengthen your competitive edge but also reinforce your reputation as the preferred energy provider on Uganda’s most strategic highway.
The indicative price for this prime land is UGX 970,000,000 (approximately USD 260,000). I am open to discussing the terms of sale, including pricing and acquisition procedures, at your earliest convenience. Attached are copies of the land title and relevant documentation for your review.
I look forward to your positive and timely response and the opportunity to partner with you on this strategic development.
Yours faithfully,
Kigozi Fred
