Niger Delta of West Africa. We have and run a successful raw material importation/exportation company.
Over the years our clientele broadened wide and supplies were made to some african countries. Recently
we had two year contract to supply raw materials to the North America. Our only setback is that terms
dictated by our prospective client who says that we(our company) must have an operational dormiciliary
account. As a people and tribe, marginalisation is one of our greatest problem, the government who are
predorminantly made of the major tribe make it difficult to do this. We are therefore soliciting for an
overseas representative who would act under our authority to collect payments from clients.
No money is required on his or her part only just have an operational account. If you are
interested and a trustworthy person, kindly furnish us with the following information,
you will be entitled to 10% of every payment made
