partnership here and we want to go into the exporting of crude oil abroad
to ready markets which
are available to us.
On this note we are seeking for anyone who we can trust and that will
be acting as our foreign partner because the government here in our
country in collaboration with the ministry of petroluem gave a strong

know that they are involved in crude oil exportation and that is why I am
the Project Manager of the partnership.
It may interest you to know that we are serious in this transaction, we
will be sending across to you US$10 Million and you are entittled to
10% of the sum which is US$1 Million which is provided by my colleagues
for the purpose of this transaction and you are required to send/remit
back to us the remaining balance which will stand as a proof to the
authorities here
that truely you are our foreign partner in this partnership.
Also on the issue of the exportation of the crude oil, we are offering
you 10% of the profit after taxation of every transaction we make at
the end of every 3 months.
On this note, what you are required to do for us so that we can forge
ahead in this deal, is for you to furnish me with the information
below so that we can get the funds transfer to you immediately through
an on-line bank within 3-5 days ASAP, below are the informations you
