Subject: CIAO!
Hello,
How are you doing. I am mailing you to bring you a proposal concerning my
company and I hope this finds you in good piece. My company deals in
sales and just recently in the exportation of African Arts and Fashion, we
are growing and expanding, we have branches and offices in 16 countries in
Africa and we just opened an outlet in Lanarkshire U.K. from where we
make our international correspondence.
The purpose of my mail today is to bring you a proposal that will
mutually benefit both our company and our representatives abroad which I
would
like to propose to you; as currently we do not have representatives in your
country where our
market seems to have a promising growth In the last 3 months we have
recorded
a 70 percent increase in sales and according to demands we are expecting 150
percent increase by the end of this year. There is one of many important
factors causing setbacks to our organisation to which we have been looking
into possible ways of
solution and that is why I am contacting you today. Most of our customers
would
like to pay with their cashiers check, Money order or wire transfer but our
organisations has serious problems accepting any of these forms of payment
and this is what has limited our sales and patronage to the statistics as
given above. It is estimated that we will have a multiple of the recorded
sales if
we can accept such customers willing to give such payments as it is
recorded, especially now that we have higher demand than supply.
We are in desperate need of representatives in your country who will be
able to recieve cash on our behalf and who will at the end of the week send
accumulated cash to our depository account in the United Kingdom. And
this is my proposal to you, I would like to offer you an opportunity to
represent us and you will be a beneficiary of a whooping sum as cash flows
in. We
have two options depending on how you wish to be paid.
1.You could earn monthly, for which we will be paying you a fixed sum
of 20,000 USD or
2.You could be earning as cash comes in, that is you will have a
percentage from every money that comes in, we will pay you 5 percent of the
total
cash you send into our account at the end of ever week or forthnight as you
choose to remit payment. for informational purpose we rake in between
15,000-140,000 weekly on the average provided our products and services
get to our customers according to schedule and this is expected to increase
in the next few months.
I would like to know if my proposal is accepted by you and if you would
like to take part so I could let you know how we are going to go about this
and I would tell you what to do. We
anticipate opening a branch in your country come 2007, this could give
you an opportunity to be part of our expanding network if you will, as we
expand. Let me have your phone number, full name and contact address if
you would like to be part of our winning team and earn.
You can reply me through this email (bmartins65@hotmail.com)
I hope to hear from you soon.
