Attention Sir
It is my resolve to contact you on behalf of a family resident in Zambia, on the sale of their minefield; this property is located in Zambia. My name is collins zara, and it is my wish to intimate you based on the information I read about your personality.
Geological reports about the mining field, which contains information about other minerals deposits, are with me. I want to use this medium to personally inform you that about a family have decided to sell the mining field. Please consider and treat this message as a family matter, which we would find very convenient dealing with you as a trusted and established individual, with a clear vision of prospects in this offer.
I kindly request that you send your response to me to enable me inform you of details and clarifications. It is very essential we sign a confidentiality agreement to provide us with a good platform to conduct this matter.

Yours sincerely
