Subject: Potential Business Opportunity For A Supply
Mr. Yao Emmanuel
Abidjan - Cote D'Ivoire,
West Africa.
Tel: +225 0771 1719.
Dear Friend,
I am writing to ask for your kind assistance to enable me execute a very
lucrative and high profiting supply business with you. It is with
great pleasure to share this business opportunity with you.
It's Risk free, No Obligation.
I am very confident with trust and understanding,we will execute this
business to our mutual benefit and believe that you will not let down
the trust and confidence I am willing to repose in you.
I work for an Agricultural Firm as the Corporate Affairs Manager.
Between the 17th-19th of May, 2003 a seminar was held in Bouake,
Cote d'ivoire of which I attended. While in the Seminar, I was
opportuned to meet the President of Oriental Farms, Alhaji Usman Umarh.
Alhaji Usman Umarh is an accomplished and widely known millionaire
farmer in this part of the region. He has farms in different countries
of West Africa. But above all, he is one of the greatest supplier of
cattles,beef and other diary products in this part of the West Coast.
On knowing my profession, He took me into confidence by informing
me about the purchase of a particular but very rare medicine for his
cattles.
He informed me that he buys this product at $5,000.00 USD per carton,
and that he mostly buys to the excess of 850 cartons. He also informed
me that he was only asking me to find out if my organisation could
source for him a cheaper supplier considering the recent trend of
falls in the general price of beef in the world market which is
affecting his business.
Back in my office, I discussed this proposal with my boss and he
decided to handle the supply by himself. We carried out a market
research and discovered that we could purchase these medicine somewhere
cheaper in Europe for $2,000.00 USD per carton.
We moved proposal to Oriental Farms to make the supply to them at
$4,800.00 USD per carton of which he accepted.
Owing to my role in the transaction, I had an agreement with my Boss
to be receiving 15% of whatever gain is made on each supply of which
he agreed. But on the completion of the supply and the receipt of the
payment, my boss renegade on our agreement and refused to give me
my share of the profit.
Since then our relationship has been at its low ebb. I have since
accepted it as one of life experiences.
However as God may have it, I intercepted a recent letter of request
from Alhaji Usman Umarh asking my boss to supply him with 1250 cartons
of the same product as soon as possible.
I seized the letter and personally contacted him and informed them
that I can introduce them to the producer who is ready to supply them
the product at $4,400.00 USD if he will pay in advance as he usually
does. He was very pleased and is right now waiting to be contacted
by my partner.
We will buy the medicine at $2,000.00 USD from Europe and sell at
$4,400.00 USD to Oriental Farms with him first paying 50% of our
quoted price as mobilisation. I will be entitled to 30% of whatever
profit we make after the deduction of all expenses.
If you are interested and capable of handling this supply with me,
kindly get back to me urgently so that I can furnish you with more
details and the contacts of the manufacturing company in Europe
and that of Oriental Farms.
Kindly be notified that at no point in time should you let Oriental
Farms to know that you are not the producer of the medicine and we
should never allow them to know the contact of our real source in
Europe so that they would'nt boycott us to deal directly with them.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Yao Emmanuel
