Subject: Require Your Urgent Response.
Dear Friend,
I hope this mail doesn't come to you as an embarrassment as i receive
unsolicited mails sometimes. The truth about it is that many individuals
have failed to understand the use for which the Internet is set for us to
benefit, and therefore some abuse the privilege.
I write to you based on a request by an investor and need for funding
options. My name is Jamie Carter, i'm a fund manager representing the
interests of wealthy investors mainly from third world countries. Recently i
got contact of a client and due to the sensitivity of the position she holds
in the society and the unstable investment environment of the country, she
wishes to evacuate her fund into more stable economies and developed nations
where she can get maximum yield for her money.
What she requests is an individual such as you who will be willing to
receive money on her behalf abroad, invest it in profitable markets and
projects such as real estate, manufacturing or any viable option.
What she is offering you:
1. Commission of 10% of total funds received,
2. Equal share of annual profit as an administrator of the investment in
your country.
More information will be provided to you on your response.
Yours Faithfully,
Jamie Carter.
