Dear Sir,
Our esteemed company is very happy to note your prompt response and we shall be very happy to do business with you on a long term basis.
Actually,we are local miners and as such need buyers urgently to maintain our mining sites and our workers and the environment.We are ready to exchange goods for mining equiptments as well .
We sell cheaper because it is very difficult to compete with the world market price hence the Au metal Gold Dust have not been refined so it makes the price cheaper.
We have about 6,000 carats of rough uncut Diamonds of assorted colours and different sizes s well as about 150 kg of au metal gold dust for sell.
We shall foçrward other details as soon as you indicate your interest
Thanks and best regards,
Hassan Marketing Manager
