Dear Sir /Madam,


With warm heart I offer my friendship and greetings I am Doris Adwoa Adjei , A Gold Marchant, al-though i inherited a licensed small scale mining company, licensed under company code 1963 (Act 179) of Ghanian from my late father as the first and only child , my father is survived by me and my mother . I now confirm a corporate authority, legal responsibility and under penalty of perjury, our ability to supply the said product. (Alluvial Gold Dust and Bars).

After my fathers death, i have some family problem with my fathers family about my father Gold conception which lead us to court, but Thank God the court had declaer that i should take over my heritance by order. currently the site is undergoing an upliftment and expansion of out mining site, and in view of this, I have mapped out 350 to 500kgs (22 carat) of Gold Dust and Bars for sale overseas to enable us accomplish our set target. This will help us in purchasing good modern mining equipment. These equipments will help us to meet up with our mining activities and terget .

In view of this me and my mother had decided to invite individuals and Companies who are interested in buying gold to come and buy our Aluvia Gold Dust and gold Bars at an agreed ratio so that we can renornuvate our mining site as to produce more Gold in future.

I like to inform you that our terms are flexible, offering you the best price and payment is negotiable.
