Dear Mr. Joe,

First of all We have to tell you thank you for you respected and wonderful
web site: http://www.joewein.de/content.htm . Dear Sir we are an export
office in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there is an importer from Benin Republic
that he submitted his contact in our chamber of commercial asking for Food
and drinks provider, I took his information and start contact with them
showed him our quotations for food and drinks he agree about it and ask us
to issue an proforma invoice and send it via DHL, until this moment he
didn't ask us to paid or deposit any money in his account, and the term of
payment will be T/T bank in advance from his side. He said these foods and
drinks will be for WADECO and show us this web site:

http://www.wadeco.official.ws/

which it is look like not official website, actually we are beginning change
our mind about the deal with them since this web site contains emails look
like it belong to a regular people and not for WADECO, what you think about
this?, I have all the contact emails with them, since we logged it as a
reference.

Thank you in advance.
