Subject: Your assistance is needed
Dear Sir/Madam,
I write to you based on a request by my client who has funds abroad and needs someone to use it for investments purposes' as he or she cannot travel overseas now. I am Barrister Johnson okafor. I work with a reputable law firm/consultancy agency that most times represents the interests of wealthy personality in Africa. Due to the sensitivity of position my clients hold in government and the society' this individuals cannot openly invest their money for two reason i.e. source of funds from over inflated government contracts and also because of the unstable investment environment of their countries, so they move majority of their funds into more stable economies and developed countries where they can get good yield for their money.
Also because they cannot travel out of their country now due to some circumstances better known to them, so this current investor wants an organization or individual abroad, who will be able and willing to receive money and put it to good use for a period of four (4) years for a start. You will use the fund for investments for four (4) years as a loan without any interest. That means you don't have to pay any interest on the money, but you give the client 50% of all profits after tax that accrued from the use of the fund. If after the elapse of four (4) year the gain he made is ok, the period of the investment can be renegotiated and extended.
The amount in question is US$25m and he has offered to give you 5% of the total fund aside the investment capital. If these terms are agreeable to you, kindly let me know and I will provide you with full information and procedures involved. This won't take more than seven (7) working days as we already have the US$25M moved overseas. Note that this transaction is not official as it’s a business deal between you, me and the investor. I am to oversee the investment on behalf of my client for the time been, pending when he or she retires from public service.
Best regards,
Johnson okafor Esq.
