Subject: Co-op

Dear Sir,

My name is Minister. Dele Goki I was the former vice Chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund (P.T.F) which was dissolved by the current Democratic President of Benin Republic. I like what your company is into.

Actually I acquired some money during my time in the office as vice chairman of the then Petroleum Trust Fund (P.T.F). The said money is amounted to the tone of US$190m (one Hundred and Ninety Million United State Dollars).

Which I deposited in a Security Company for save keeping I have been paying for the demurrages incurred by the money for the past a year which I felt is not profitable for me.

I would like to invest in your company not minding going into partnership with you or you introduce me to some other lucrative and profitable business in your country for me to invest my money.

If we can arrive at a proper memorandum of understanding I will furnish you with more details regarding this transaction.

The sharing pattern would be profitable for both of us.


Please your earliest reply will be much appreciated.

Thanks for your understanding.
Please, reply me through Email ID: delegoki@minister.com <mailto:delegoki@minister.com> or delegoki5@netscape.net <mailto:delegoki5@netscape.net>

Best regard,

Dele Goki.
