Subject: HELP SUPPLY THIS MEDICINE
Mr.Banabas Opinga
Abidjan - Cote D'Ivoire,
West Africa.
Dear Friend,
I am writing to ask for your kind assistance to enable me execute a very
lucrative and high profiting supply business with you.It is with great pleasure
to share this business opportunity with
you.It's Risk free, No Obligation. I am very confident with trust and understanding,we
will execute this business to our mutual benefit and believe that you will
not let down the trust and confidence I am willing to repose in you. I work
for an Agricultural Firm as the Corporate Affairs Manager. Between the 17th-19th
of May, 2003 a seminar was held in Bouake,
Cote d'ivoire of which I attended. While in the Seminar, I was opportuned
to meet the President of Oriental Farms, Alhaji Usman Umarh. Alhaji Usman
Umarh is an accomplished and widely known
millionaire farmer in this part of the region. He has farms in different
countries of West Africa. But above all, he is one of the greatest supplier
of cattles,beef and other diary products in this part
of the West Coast. On knowing my profession, He took me into confidence by
informing
me about the purchase of a particular but very rare medicine for his cattles.
He informed me that he buys this product at $5,000.00 USD per carton, and
that he mostly buys to the excess of 850 cartons. He also informed me that
he was only asking me to find out if my
organisation could source for him a cheaper supplier considering the recent
trend of falls in the general price of beef in the world market which is
affecting his business. Back in my office, I discussed this proposal with
my boss and he decided to handle the supply by himself. We carried out a
market research and discovered that we could purchase these medicine somewhere
cheaper in Europe for $2,000.00 USD per carton. We moved proposal to Oriental
Farms to make the supply to them at $4,800.00 USD per carton of which he
accepted. Owing to my role in the transaction, I had an agreement with my
Boss to be receiving 15% of whatever gain is made on each supply of which
he agreed. But on the completion of the supply and the receipt of the payment,
my boss renegade on our agreement and refused to give me my share of the
profit.
Since then our relationship has been at its low ebb. I have since accepted
it as one of life experiences.
However as God may have it, I intercepted a recent letter of request from
Alhaji Usman Umarh asking my boss to supply him with 1250 cartons of the
same product as soon as possible.
I seized the letter and personally contacted him and informed them that I
can introduce them to the producer who is ready to supply them the product
at $4,400.00 USD if he will pay in advance
as he usually does. He was very pleased and is right now waiting to be contacted
by my partner.
We will buy the medicine at $2,000.00 USD from Europe and sell at $4,400.00
USD to Oriental Farms with him first paying 50% of our quoted price as mobilisation.
I will be entitled to 30% of whatever profit we make after the deduction
of all expenses.
If you are interested and capable of handling this supply with me, kindly
get back to me urgently so that I can furnish you with more details and the
contacts of the manufacturing company in Europe
and that of Oriental Farms. Kindly be notified that at no point in time should
you let Oriental
Farms to know that you are not the producer of the medicine and we should
never allow them to know the contact of our real source in Europe so that
they would'nt boycott us to deal directly with them.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Yours sincerely,
Mr.Banabas Opinga
