Subject: An urgent deal
Dear Sir,
On behalf of Engr. Elvis Murray the C.E.O Elmanson co limited, hereby
request for your assistant for the execution of a huge project worth of $87
(Eight Seven Thousand us Dollars). We got your contact through a company
tour via the Internet and we are so convinced that you can handle this deal
perfectly. We are general contractor to the federal and state Government of
Nigeria. About 7years ago a contract was awarded to us Elmanson Co. Limited
under the then military administrator in Kogi state to build a Radio and
Television station with the sum of $87 (eight seven thousand us dollars) out
of which $37 (Thirty Seven Thousand us Dollars) payment was made for the
procurement of materials and the commencement of work on the site.
However, work has been going smoothly on the site until 1999 when there was
a break as a result of change of government from military to democratic
government. Sooner after that, Engr Elvis was ill from a shock of
radioactive reaction that later lead to his death on August 18th 2000. Since
his death, there was a breakdown in the company policy making this lead to
the inability for the company to execute a meaningful project until 2002
when the company was recertified.
Just recently, the present government visited the site and he is interested
on the project completion or to rearward it on failure to commence work on
the site by March 2006. After this deadline was issued, I contacted the
minister of work and explained the company financial predicaments to him,
which he advised on what to do and base on personal recognition, that we
should present a foreigner as benefactor or act as a subsidiary to Elmanson
Co. Limited. To this end, the government can disburse more found for the
completion of the project. This is why we are sincerely appealing you to
assist us in getting more found for the completion of this on going project.
As you can see from the explanation, is a risk free deal and having work so
closely with Egnr. Elvis, I have all the documents at my disposal and with
the assistant of the minister of works the deal will be perfected.
We are going to work out the per cent age base on the amount of money
invested by an individual and the profit that will be made thereafter.
However, an estimate of about $20 (Twenty Thousand us Dollars) has been
given by the structural Egnr for the completion of the project. So we are
envisaging $30 (Thirty Thousand Us Dollars) as turnover after the whole
deal. Please if you are really interested and willing to assist us, please
don't hesitate to provide your contact details, phone/fax number, so that we
can proceed proper for further discussion.
Regards
James Kayode
