President/Managing Director
Dear Sir
My name is Hans Schnider. I am resident in Germany. I am also a sales manager
in a financial consultancy firm here.
If you have a project you intend to undertake, be it new or an expansion of an
existing company, my company is mandated to source for reliable investors
the world over to invest available funds in profitable business ventures. This
is why I am making this contact.
This funds are made available by some third world leaders and the pool is close
to half a billion US dollars. Depending on your experience and the proposal you
will forward to us, we will determine a suitable amount to remit to you to kick
off the business you intend to invest in. You will manage this business without
interference for a period of three years, after which, the profit on investment
will be shared after taxation.
The investment areas is not limited and may include new businessess or
injection of funds into an existing firm that, of course, is profit oriented.
Bearing in mind that you are not authorised to invest in public companies or
government agencies, you can incorporate a firm fully owned by you based on the
laws of your country or invest this money in a private
company as a share holder. You can equally trade stock or export and import
goods as may be profitable. Fresh funds may also be invested to enlarge the
business if the prospects is good.
All these are without ANY liability to you as this is a risk that the fund
owners are ready to take.
You will be required to meet with us to finalise arrangements on how to move
the agreed funds into your account and sign related documents that will
authorise you to manage this money on our behalf. A draft agreement will be
forwarded to you to enable us finetune all gray areas and ensure a smooth take
off.
Please reply to this mail and I will forward more information to you. All we
need is to assertain your credibility, resourcefullness and experience. Please
reply to walagua@yahoo.co.uk
I earnestly await your response.
Regards,
Hans
