Subject: CGS needed
Dear Sir ,
I am Raw Material Acquisition Agent, for TECHINT GROUPS; This Company needed to buy some quantity and good quality of cattle gallstones from your country, do you know the product? I know someone that has the material there and we purchase from him last year but this time around, I don’t want his involvement because he betrayed me, I’m contacting you to source for the material using your high level contacts because it there in your country and I assure you that as soon as you confirm the availability the Company’s Purchasing Manager (Mr. Adams) will travel down to your country for the purchase of the materials.
I am inspired to subscribe for contact through the internet because my former contact from your neighborhood there betrayed me, he’s a cheat, you know why, before we go into business, I reached an agreement with him, and according to him, he told me in confidence that he can source the cattle gallstones within your locality there at the cost of ($315.00) equivalent Per I Kilo and I agree with him to sale to the Purchasing Manager at $580.00 Per I Kilo on Agreement to give me 10% of each and every total purchase made from him.
As a matter of fact, I received my commission from him in the first and second transactions, not until last quarter of 2005 a total (2.500 pieces) Two thousand Five Hundred pieces of CGS was purchased from him at the cost of $580.00 Per I kilo totaling ($1,450.000.00) and I’m supposed to be entitled to ($145,000.00) One Hundred and Forty Five Thousand United States Dollars representing 10%, of my commission, but to my greatest surprise he deviated from our Agreed 10% instead he offered me 2% with excuses that the price of the material has changed.
I pleaded with him over and over to give my commission but, he bluffed me and became blunt, I thought using legal action, but he threatened to report to my management my previous dealings with him, that’s what made me to drop the case for peace to prevail and to save my job, besides my agreement with him was oral not hand written.
Now that the opportunity has come again, the same Company needed same material and in a larger quantity this time and I don’t want to transact any business with the man over there that is why I am contacting you to see if you can source for the material yourself, or alternatively, I give the contact of the former supplier so that you can contact him and negotiate directly with him. But, you mustn’t mention my name to him because if you do so, he will know the Company that needed it and he might bypass us.
Please Understand.
