Subject: BE AN OIL CONTRACTOR
My Honourable Lordship,
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus.My name is Christopher Elvis,I am a geologist,50years old,married to a wife and have three kids,Two boys and A girl.I am an indigene of Port-Harcourt,Rivers State,Nigeria in AFRICA.My good friend,Like you know,Nigeria is the leading country in the extraction and sales of crude oil and Port-Harcourt,Rivers State is the best oil producing state in Nigeria.My lordship,I was so lucky to buy 10 plots of Land in Rivers State.Fortunately,during the survey I was lucky to find out that the land was blessed and rich with crude oil.I dont want the government to know because if they do,they will pay me off and take the land away from me.So my friend,due to this reason,I seek for your partnership so that we can get legalized company certificates to enable us run a company which supplies crude oil to refineries.We can get allocations from government as soon as we are done with the company certificates so that we can import drilling machines f!
rom abroad to enable us expand our company.We could offer employments to graduates so that we can work as company and We would discuss about their salaries.From geological review,We can get about 2,000 barrels of crude oil from this land and we could sell them for $4 Million United States Dollars per barrel to refineries and we could export them abroad to make more money from them.
My friend,I want us to work as partners and am assuring you that the company certificates would be jointed between me and you and all funds which come from the company would be shared equally between the both of us after we have paid our workers.We could move ahead to establish our refineries here in Nigeria and another in your country where we would circulate fuel within the nation via Hard Steel pipes making contacts with government refineries and make much more money from them.
I am giving you this assurance that we could make more than $8Million United States Dollars monthly from this joint business partnership.I am a good law abiding citizen of my country and I have all certified documents proving my legal ownership of the 10 Plots of Land.
My lordship,if you are interested in this multi-million dollar company,kindly forward me your full name,mailing addresses,telephone number and fax number so that we can establish a relationship between ourself and know more about eachother.
My friend,I cant wait to hear your opinion about this idea of mine.
Thanks so much and God bless.
Regards,
Mr. Christopher Elvis.
