- Dear friend,I want to solicit your attention in receiving funds on my behalf. The purpose of my contacting you is because you live in a country where my family want to invest, that is real estate and oil investment business in your country and I would be glad if you can assist me in any way possible alternatively, we can both go into a joint partnership investment business once we are both satisfied with agreements reached and after we get to know each other better. I would like to invest my family's finances (Inherited), in your country under your care and full management. Since I have never been able to visit your country in the past, I believe investing through you as a citizen will make it a lot easier for us. If you are interested, please get back to me and I will introduce you to my fund managers and bankers.We will provide the finances required for the investment. Our first choice of investment is real estate business which we have believed will flourish in your country. Telecommunications investments will also be regarded as a good venture. The amount we have can provide us with any good business investment depending on how it is managed after you receive it. I will wait to here from you if you are interested before we can discuss in details and then, I will furnish you with more facts on how we should commence with execution of the Investment project.
