New favorurable government investment police that seek out to boost the mining sector of our economy have invariably brought keen competition in the mining industry in ANGOLA. Our local small-scale mining companies are therefore in the process or embarking upon modern technology, of mining to expand their production base. This product naturally calls for modern mining equipment. Unfortunately these machines are either absent on our local market or the few if found, are sold at higher price.
As the owner to these companies, I deem it necessary to assist our local miners locate foreign capital to acquire these equipment to meet up the need of their project. In this direction, I write to invite you for offer, some quantity of 450 kilograms of (au) gold dust which they have piled-up over time to sell for foreign cash.

I will count much on your cordial co-operation please reply me on my personal email. maurice_aku@yahoo.com so that I can contact you back, because we normally ship out our product from Ivory Coast West Africa; for the fact that our the civil war in my country Angola we don’t have good shipping company.
