Subject: Hello
Dear Sir/Ma,
United Kingdom based company H & L LIMITED, jointly owned by Seigha Davis
and Favour Seriki, is in the forefront of deepwater drilling technology.
Most of today's offshore oil and gas production is at water depths of less
than 300 metres. At these water depths, the largest reservoirs have already
been discovered and the oil and gas industry is therefore focusing on new
areas in deeper water, up to 3,000 metres, to make new discoveries.
We will be very glad if you can represent us in your United States of
America and earn up to 10% of every payment made through you to us.
Please we will need you to help me with your personal details such as Full
names, home/office address, phone and fax numbers respectively, you can also
reach us on +44 703 190 2221 or mail back at infodesk0606@yahoo.ca should
you be interested.
We patinetly await your swift response.
Regards,
Seigha Davids
Managing Partner.
