ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR SOURCING/PURCHASE OF MACHINERY
A Good day to you and your family.
Excuse my communication through email, on an issue as important as this
one.We shall definitely open up a more confidential form of communication as
soon as I receive a response from you.
I write to inform you of my desire to purchase and import Machinery in your
country on behalf of the Director of Contracts and Finance Allocations of
the federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources of my country.
We have made the necessary enquiries, and we have been informed that the
Machinery are available and can be obtained in your country. Hence our
Desire to have an overseas agent is very important. I have therefore been
directed to inquire if you would agree to act as our oversea agent in order
to actualize this transaction. Please note that this transaction is
legitimate and is not in any way related to Drugs, Arms or Terrorism.
It may interest you to know that our government, having realised that Crude
oil is not the only source of income for the country, has began serious
programes in the areas mentioned above. This is why we are taking advantage
of the situation to establish an out fit, that would handle such matters.
This way, we can either sell, lease or even execute contracts for
individuals,organizations or the government.
We intend yo use our share of the funds in acquiring some Telecommunication
equipment,Construction and Oil drilling equipment, Medical Equipment, Farm
Machinery and Marine Equipments abroad. For this you shall also serve as our
agent.
In the light of this, I would like you to indicate your willingness
and ability to assist us by forwarding to me, your detail particulars such
as your company name and address,your personal fax and telephone numbers for
easy communication. The total amount involved in this transaction is
US$31MILLION and we have agreed to give you 30% of this amount (US$9.3M) for
your participation.
You are requested to communicate your acceptance of this proposal through my
above stated email address after which we shall discuss in details the
modalities for seeing this
transaction through.
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated. As soon as I receive a
positive response from you, I shall give you a complete picture of the
transaction. A comprehensive agency agreement would immediately be prepared
and I shall send a form of identification. This would enable you know with
whom you are dealing.
Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
DR. MARCUS COLE
