Dear Sir/Madam



Greeetings to you. Please permit me to introduce myself as Engr. Duncan Moore, The president/CEO of

Dueter Intl Inc. A private company that deals on commercial farming and export most of our product to

Europe and other parts of America. I am contacringyou in my quest for a reliable business relationship

with your company.


Recently, Deuter INTL through a reputable company here was privileged to win some small contracts for supply

of materials to some companies in the the United States of America, Canada and the United Kingdom. One

of the basic requirements demanded from us was to have a correspondence office or company in these countries

where these contracts are awarded which are also listed above. This will enhance legitimacy, efficiency

and dedication to the contract in questions. Above all, most of these companies has some insurance policy

that will not let them send money here for some security reasons. This is why your role is of so much

importance.


Needless for us to go into details of this projects but what we demand of you is to be our foreign

partner. This is not about sending upfronts or spending value time and money on a non-profitable

business. Your role will be to stand as correspondence office to receive our payments. Every payment for our

concluded contract will be paid to you. So you do not need to participate or called to answer questions

regarding any of our supply as we ensure that all that needs to be done will be completely supplied to ensure

maximum service renderd and avoid any delay in payments.


Your reward for every payment you receive will be 10% of the total money. The ranges of payments to be

expected will be from US$500-500,000. Please bear in mind that this is a small company. So our income is

still relatively low compared to other companies.


Should you be interested, please let me have the following information:


Full name

Name Of company

Addresss

Telephone, cell and fax numbers



This are all we need to start with and after aquaintance, we shall forward all legal documents for you to sign so we can be registered partners.


Please respond as soon as possible to let me know via sprintintl@mail.md
