Subject: Re: Business Proposal/Joint Venture
I run an international Business Promotion and Consultancy firm and I got your contact through the internet in my quest for a foreign investment for one of my clients.
My client is in the precious stone industry and owns mines in Tanzania and here in Kenya. He also used to deal (buy and sell) in diamonds from Angola and Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire) before international ban was placed on diamonds from war torn countries. Hence he decided to stop his diamond business and diversify his investment portfolio by investing abroad in different sector on partnership basis.
The followings are his specifications for your consideration and immediate attention:
1. Investment capital up to USD $9.5million
2. Area of interest - real estate, hotel, transportation, civil construction, industries, and fisheries.
3. Shares of partners depending on capital input, therefore subject to negotiation.
4. Interested party should be prepared to come to Nairobi Kenya to sign agreement with him that will protect his interest before he releases and remit his capital to the designated account for the project after which he will travel back with the person to finalize and set up the business.
Please kindly note that you need not reply if you are not satisfied with the above conditions as my client will prefer to deal with somebody serious as the entire management and running of this venture will be the person's responsibility, because it will not be possible for my client to be physically present most of the time in view of his time consuming commitments with his mine business.
Kindly give this proposal an urgent attention, as my client needs this information as soon as possible. My contacts are:
I look forward to your immediate response.
Sincerely Yours,
Yaro Madaki
Managing Director
