Subject: FROM MR, HOWARD
Dear Sir/Madam
I write to you based on a request by an investor who has some money abroad and needs someone to use it for investments purposes, as he cannot travel overseas now.
My name is George Howard, I am a Banker and financial consultant and I work with a reputable financial institution that most times represents the interests of wealthy investors. Due to the sensitivity of the position they hold in the society and the unstable investment environment of our country, they move majority of their funds into more stable economies and developed countries where they can get good yield for their money.
Because he cannot travel out of the country due to a problem he is currently facing now, the current investor wants an organization or individual abroad,who will be able and willing to receive money and put it to good use for a period of four (4) years for a start. You will use the fund for investments for four (4) years as a loan without any interest. That is, you do not
pay any interest on the money but you give the client 50% of all profits after tax that accrued from the use of the fund. If after the elapse of four (4) year the gain he made is ok, the period of the investment can be renegotiated and extended.
The amount in question is US$55m and he has offered to give you 10% of the total fund aside the investment capital. If these terms are agreeable to you, kindly let me know and I will
provide you with full information and procedures involved. This won't take more
than five (5) days as we already have the US$55M moved overseas.
Note that this transaction is not official, it is between you, myself and the investor. I am the person to oversee the investment for him.
Sincerely yours,
George Howard.
