Mr. John Banks
Abidjan - Cote D'Ivoire,
West Africa.
Dear Friend,
I am writing to ask for your kind assistance to enable
me execute a very lucrative and high profiting supply business with you.
It is with great pleasure to share this business opportunity with you. It's
Risk free, No Obligation.
I am very confident with trust and understanding,we
will execute this business to our mutual benefit and believe that you will
not let down the trust and confidence I am willing to repose in you.
I work for an Agricultural Firm as the Corporate
Affairs Manager. Between the 17th-19th of September, 2004
a seminar was held in Bouake, Cote d'ivoire of which I attended. While in
the Seminar, I was opportuned to meet the President of Oriental Farms, Alhaji
Tarfa Umarh.
Alhaji Tarfa Umarh is an accomplished and widely known
millionaire farmer in this part of the region. He has farms in
different countries of West Africa. But above all, he is one of the greatest
supplier of cattles,beef and other diary products in this part of the West
Coast.
On knowing my profession, He took me into confidence
by informing me about the purchase of a particular but very rare
medicine for his cattles.
He informed me that he buys this product at $5,000.00
USD per carton, and that he mostly buys to the excess of 850 cartons. He
also informed me that he was only asking me to find out if my organisation
could source for him a cheaper supplier considering the recent trend of
falls in the general price of beef in the world market which is affecting
his business.
Back in my office, I discussed this proposal with my
boss and he decided to handle the supply by himself. We carried
out a market research and discovered that we could purchase these medicine
somewhere cheaper in Europe for $2,000.00 USD per carton. We moved proposal
to Oriental Farms to make the supply to them at $4,800.00 USD per carton
of which he accepted.
Owing to my role in the transaction, I had an
agreement with my Boss to be receiving 15% of whatever gain is made on each
supply of which he agreed. But on the completion of the supply and the receipt
of the payment, my boss renegade on our agreement and refused to give me
my share of the profit.
Since then our relationship has been at its low ebb. I
have since accepted it as one of life experiences.
However as God may have it, I intercepted a recent
letter of request from Alhaji Tarfa Umarh asking my boss to supply him with
1250 cartons of the same product as soon as possible.
I seized the letter and personally contacted him and
informed them that I can introduce them to the producer who is ready to
supply them the product at $4,400.00 USD if he will pay in advance as he
usually does. He was very pleased and is right now waiting to be contacted
by my partner.
We will buy the medicine at $2,000.00 USD from Europe
and sell at $4,400.00 USD to Oriental Farms with him first paying 50% of
our quoted price as mobilisation. I will be entitled to 30% of whatever
profit we make after the deduction of all expenses.
If you are interested and capable of handling this
supply with me, kindly get back to me urgently so that I can furnish you
with more details and the contacts of the manufacturing company in Europe
and that of Oriental Farms.
Kindly be notified that at no point in time should you
let Oriental Farms to know that you are not the producer of the
medicine and we should never allow them to know the contact of our real
source in Europe so that they would'nt boycott us to deal directly with
them.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. John Banks
