PLOT 102 RUE 12 KOUMASSI 32
ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE

Dear Friend,
I am writting this letter out of a genuine desperation to find a reliable
partner in the unfolding partnership over a transaction so profitable and
simple. I seek your help, attention and honest co-operation to our mutual
benefit and I WANT TO BELIEVE that you will not let down the trust and confidence
I am about to repose on you.


My name is John chisar 35 year old bussinessman. For the past ten years,
I have been working in a Public Relations firm that pays me about two hundred
dollars each month. On the 30th of june 2002,our company made a very big
financial breakthrough when we made contact with Alhaji Daudu Dansuki (XI)
and began to supply him his cow medicines. Alhaji Daudu Dansuki (XI) is
the President of DASUKI AGRO ALLIED FARMS, a millionaire farmer with cattle
farms in Mali, Senegal, Guinea,Burkina Faso, Chad Rep, and a new one located
at Zimbabwe.

Moreover, he is the greatest supplier of cattle beef and other dairy products
to the whole of West Africa.He had informed us about the huge amount of
money he spends on the purchase of a particular but very important cattle
medicine. Precisely, he buys US $5,000 per carton. He asked if our organisation
can source for a cheaper supplier.We did market research and discovered
that we can buy these medicine in Europe for US$2,000 per carton. We moved
a proposal to DASUKI AGRO ALLIED FARMS, to supply him at US$4,800 per carton
which he accepted.


As these supplies progressed and our company was
doing fine, I requested to my boss for an increase in
salary. He was so upset that he nearly sacked me despite my ten years of
dedicated service. However, he succeeded in giving me an indefinite suspension.



Within my moments of suspension, I was so desperate that I went to the Dasuki
Farms and infomed Alhaji Daudu Dansuki, that I have a foriegn contact that
will be willing to supply him this same products at US$4,400 per carton.
He in turn confided to me that he is about to place order for one thousand
cartons following a suspected outbreak of disease in his farms. I assured
him that my foriegn contact will be in the position to manufacture and
supply to him, infact I convinced him that my former boss usually buy from
my foriegn contact and that is why he sales to him at a higher price. HOWEVER,
I INFORMED ALHAJI DAUDU THAT HE WILL HAVE TO PAY CASH IN ADVANCE BEFORE
MY FORIEGN CONTACT WILL SUPPLY TO HIM. For the moment he has stopped all
contact with my boss. Please consider on how to handle this profitable
project and kindly contact me immediately through my yahoo email or my other
mail, johnchisar3@yahoo.com for details and negotiations as regards terms
and commission. However, I will insist that my commission will be 20% of
the total profit.


Note: We will buy one thousand carton at US$2,000,000. We sell to them
at US$4,400,000.Our client pays cash before the lifting of the goods. Most
importantly: they must NEVER know our purchase point in Europe.Ponder on
this profitable venture, my good friend.

Thanks and God bless you.


Sincerely,

John Chisar
