Kathmandu. Hathway Investment Nepal Limited has circulated a fake letter regarding the sale of 15 lakh units of shares by misusing the name, letterhead, seal and signature of the company secretary.

The letter, which was circulated on social media and some media outlets, stated that the company’s shareholder Ambika Prasad Poudel had informed the company that it intends to sell 15 lakh units of shares within the next three months.
