RE:PARTNERSHIP
Dear Friend,
We are a small new firm engaged in export of goods overseas. We have won various small export contract at one time or the other.
Recently, we were (engaged) contracted to supply cocoa and dried natural rubber to tire manufacturing companies in PERU, U.S and EUROPE which was successfully done.
However, in as much as we were able to successfully carry out these supplies, we experience difficulty remitting our proceeds from the sale of these products home. This is due to the fact that the fiscal policy in my country is very stringent and not favorable. Small firms like our are not allowed before six months of operation to open and operate a domiciliary account in foreign currencies through which we would have been able to remit proceeds home. To this end, we seek a foreign company or individual who we can nominate as our partner to receive our payment in their business/individual account on our behalf and in-turn send the money directly to us.
Thus we are willing to pay the individual/company 10% of the total sum for their assistance. This 10% will not be a loss to us instead, we hope to incorporate those cost in our future charges to our prospective customers overseas.
Currently, we are not able to bring back home our funds amount to $185,000usd (One Hundred And Eighty-Five Thousand United States Dollars) in PERU, U.S and EUROPE from export we just made. We therefore solicit your assistance to help receive these payment through your account on our behalf so that we can instruct our customers to remit these monies directly to your account or alternatively the check will be make to you. We also require that you send us urgently your telephone, fax number for proper communication prior to any transaction. We are also hoping to build a long term business relationship with you if you are interested.
Once we have built out trust on your we will continue to straightened the business relationship. We hope you can be of assistance to our company. We are very much aware of various scams going on all over and as such we are assuring you that at no time will you be require to pay or transfer funds that you have not received from our customers to us.
We are strictly legitimate entrepreneur seeking for a trustworthy foreign partner.
Looking for to hearing from you soonest.
Regards,
Mr. Ademola Georgwill
