Dear Sir,
i need a business relationship with you. I am Mr.Brown Emefe.Sales
Representative in London, of Gold Field Company South Africa.In respect of
my
position in the company, I personally succeeded in establishing
business contacts in USA and Canada to supply quantities of Gold Dusts every
month valued at 75 -95,000 United States Dollar . This is a very private
arrangement with no risk involved.However, I am finding it very difficult
receiving payment for the supplies made 1-month ago before going further
with the business.
This is because according to the new goverment financial regulation here,
senior employees in the company are prohibited from operating a private
foreign account.Therefore, I do not have a foreign account to receive the
payment here in London and this is where I need your help. Now, I want you
to act as my agent by receiving this Money in your account and forwarding
same to me. Your commission will be 10% of any money received on my behalf
by you. The sales and payment will continue as soon as I receive the payment
of the supply made last month successfully through your help.If this
proposal is acceptable to you, I need you to understand that this is a
private arrangement and I
look forward to a business partnership with you based on trust,
confidentiality and mutual interest. I sincerely hope you'll not take undue
advantage of the trust I'll bestow on you.
VERY IMPORTANT:
I'll not at any stage of my business relationship with you, request not that
you cover any expenses concerning the deal. Your role is basically to
collect funds on my behalf, subtract your commission of 10% and then
send the balance to me. Upon reciept of your mail, I'll send an agreement
that will provide the basis for our business relationship. Thanks for your
envisaged assistance.
IMPORTANT INFORAMTION NEEDED
1.YOUR FULL NAME.
2.YOUR CONTACT ADRESS.
3.YOUR PHONE/FAX ENABLE US TO TALK AND MY PAYING CLIENT.
I await your urgent mail.
