Subject: supply partner wanted urgently

My good friend
My name is Joel Xhuma,i am a citizen of Togo,i work with Bugaji services sarl in lomé capital of republic of Togo.Our company supplies different cattle vaccines to one of our biggest customer Madarra group of farms in Senegal.

Very profitable business as our company has been making good profits this year but the chairman of our company Bugaji services sarl Togo is a very greedy and ungrateful man,because i got an order to supply somewhere else,he found out and sacked me preventing me from doing the suppliy.

Now i have got another source for the vaccine we supply to Madarra farms and has convinced the chairman of Madarra farms Alhaji Abdul Diouf a multi millionaire to give me the supply contract for the supply as it will be cheaper for him,he was worried as i may not be able to have money deliver on demand but becuase i told him that i already have a foreign partner who would help me,he approved my lpo for me to the supply 2000 cartons of veporax to madarra farms branch office here in lomé.

The rate now as agreed is $4600.00 only as against $5000.00 supplied by
my former company.I go private now and from where i saw the vaccine,the
company is offering the vaccine at $2020.00 per carton for my capacity i am to pay cash before they will deliver.

Mandarra farms pays contractors immediately after confirmation and inspection of supplied products.

I need you urgently as my partner who would help me secure the vaccine and after supply we share the profit.Please if you are intrested as i consider you reliable,respond to my mail so that i tell you the modalities and let
you in fully.

Yours faithfully
Joel Xhuma
