9TH DECEMBER, 2005.

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am McHenry Stevenson, a financial consultant and representative of
China Metallurgical Import and Export Company. We are presently recruiting
capable and dynamic sales representatives/fiduciary agents. We are one of
the fastest growing metallurgical equipment manufacturers in Asia and
specialize in exporting quality products at relatively low prices.

Due to the ever-increasing customer base in The US, North America and Europe
we are searching for (sales) representatives to assist in meeting the
increasing customer demand for these products. Also it has been very
difficult dealing with customers in this region from China because of both
time difference and language barrier. Basically we require an intermediate
for invoicing goods / services to our clients (after we finalize the
transactions direct with them) we are offering the requested service “we
call it offshore mediation”.

Headquartered in Zhejiang China, we invite you to join China Metallurgical
as a representative. If you opt to join China Metallurgical as a
representative, your basic task will consist of processing orders and
receiving payments on behalf of China Metallurgical.

Please note, in particular, that for every transaction processed, you will
receive 5% of the total amount. China Metallurgical product price range
starts at $902.45. And go up to $500,000. At 5% you're guaranteed a minimum
of $46.25 + per order. The uniqueness of being a sales
representative/fiduciary agent for China Metallurgical is that this can be
done from the comfort of your home. We do all the advertising and all
relevant leads in your area are passed on to you. Note that due to different
time zones, and ever increasing demand for our product hence the need for
sales representatives.

You can learn more about us at:

Please e-mail the following information in order for us to facilitate the
conclusion of this proposal if accepted. Send information below to:
Mh_stevenson003@yahoo.com.au

Your name and telephone numbers. We will get the business development
manager for the region to get in touch and discuss all the sales prospects
with you. Please all replies and further enquiries must be sent to:
Mh_stevenson003@yahoo.com.au

Thank you.

Yours truly,
McHenry Stevenson
