Subject: Making Extra Dollars
Dear Sir,
I got your contact through a desperate and personal search
on the web for someone I could really trust and I wish to
express my interest to handle this matter with you, as I
believe that you are reliable in handling this type of
international transaction. Though, this medium (Internet)
has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through it
because it still remains the fastest medium of
communication. However, this correspondence is unofficial
and private, and it should be treated as such.
I work as an agent to a company here in South Africa and the
company deals in manufacturing of animal medicine for animal
treatment and the chemical used in manufacturing this
product is sold in Dubai in United Arab Emirate. My boss and
myself, who is the CEO and President respectively of our
company usually go to U.A.E in purchase of this chemical for
more than one year now and we normally go every three to
four months to purchase of this material.
I was formally doing this business with Mr. Rajah Azizi who
died recently and now I don't know any other person to
handle the business with, so that is why I want to handle
the business with you.
THE BUSINESS
I just want you to act as a middleman to buy this chemical
out from the real sellers in Dubai at a cheaper price and
re-sell to me and my boss at a higher price and we share the
profit. The real price is $2,000 for one carton but you
will re-sell to us at $3,800 for one carton and our profit
on each carton is $1,800.
My boss wants us to visit Dubai to purchase 100 cartons of
the product at a total cost of $380,000.00 for the 100
cartons. If you can manage to make the purchase of the
products our profit will be $180,000.00 and we shall share
it equally (50/50) which is $90,000.00 each. This is what we
shall both realize and get for this trip. Remember, we do
purchase this product every three to four months and I see
us making more than this amount as time goes on.
The seller is in Dubai, so if you can handle the business
then I will give you the phone number of the seller in Dubai
and the name of the product so that you can contact him and
find out if he has the chemical. We are ready to fly down
to purchase this product as soon as you indicate your
readiness to handle the business, so please if you are
interested write me back and I will give you more details as
soon as I hear from you and we will arrange for our coming
within 24 hours.
This product is a legal commodity and is not against the
Government policy but the only problem is that it is not on
commercial sale, and is meant for big companies like ours.
This is a very lucrative business where we can split some
thousands of Dollars genuinely every three to four months
and remember that my boss must not know the place you
purchase the product and I needed you in this business
because if we go direct to the seller my boss will know the
real and exact price of the product and I cannot be able to
make any profit again.
Kindly give me your private mobile phone number so that I
can call you for oral discussions and you must keep this
business as highly confidential.
I wait for your reply.
Best Regards,
Mr Phillip Ndlovu
