I wish to introduce you to this prospective crude oil sale venture. What d=
o I mean=3F
=20
I propose that we become partners in a crude oil sales project under the u=
mbrella of the National Petroleum Agency of Sao Tome and Principe.
=20
In this project, we will register either your company or a joint company w=
ith the local Corporate Affairs Commission of Sao Tome and Principe; re-as=
sign an already allocated crude oil sale license to the company and act as=
representative of the Petroleum Agency in selling of crude oil to the end=
buyers.
=20
I have assisted a company based in Oman, Middle East to sec ure a crude oi=
l sale license allocation in 2005. The director of this company, Mr. Ahmed=
Syed could not actualize his dream in this project as he; the sole owner =
of the company was unfortunately struck by stroke therefore incapable of i=
nvolving in active business.
=20
I will package you as the crude oil sale license beneficiary. We would re-=
assign the sale license earlier given to Mr. Ahmed to your/our company. Th=
is will give your company/our joint company the legal authority to act as =
crude oil sales agent/representative for the petroleum agency.
=20
The assignment of the crude oil sale license allocation to our company giv=
es us the privilege to operate as first lifters of crude oil from the bloc=
k. This attracts US$2.00 discount per barrel to the lifter. The US$2.00 is=
our (lifter) entitlement from the local petroleum agency (national petrol=
eum agency), also been able to get final buyers entitles us also to a US$1=
.00 discount from the discount given to the end buyer as "mandates". As we=
are going to be lifting 2 mil lion barrels per month from the block, US$2=
.00 discount from local petroleum agency sums up to US$4 million per month=
. And US$1.00 discount from the end buyer comes to US$2 million per month.=
=20
=20
This totals to US$6 million gross coming to our group per transaction/per =
month.
=20
On equity sharing ration, both of us will be netting in a cool US$6 Millio=
n as profits monthly. This proceeds known as commissions will be shared eq=
ually on equity between the both of us at the end of every sales operation=
month. This implies that shall both go home with US$3 Million each
=20
This project is highly prospective and presently the most legitimate money=
making machinery someone can set up. What is so interesting about the pro=
ject is that our both presence is not much needed, rather after the regist=
ration of your/our company and obtaining the crude oil sales license, we w=
ould connect buyers to the P etroleum Agency by any means we choose and ou=
r commissions wil l be directed instantly to our nominated company bank co=
-ordinates.
=20
I will gladly appreciate your understanding and keen interest to be part o=
f this moving train called CRUDE OIL SALES VENTURE.
