- ATTN: Dear
Friend, I know this email must have come to you as a surprise because we have
never met before and what I’m about to discuss with you here might sound very
apprehensive , it is just an opportunity that come across one’s way in a life
time and I feel I should make use of it. My name is Ms. JOANNA ELSON, I’m a
chartered secretary and I work for British company called ROYAL COMMERCIAL
HOLDINGS based in old Windsor Berkshire, United Kingdom. This company is a
contractor to the United Nations (UN) and was recently awarded a contract to
supply some vaccines used on animals for related diseases. Presently, these
vaccines are very expensive here in the United Kingdom but relatively very
cheap from a source in Malaysia . The price of the vaccines in United Kingdom
is two to three times more than the price in Malaysia according to my
findings. If my proposal sounds interesting to you, then this is what you have
to: You will buy the vaccines from the source which I will provide you with
the contact details and sell to my company through my boss whom I will also
give you his contact details too. You should be prepared to share whatever the
amount of profit you make with me You should not in anyway disclose the cheap
source of this product that I will give to you to my company or disclose my
company to the source in Malaysia . I want you to know that I demand from you
in totality assurance and sincerity in this mutual beneficiary business
opportunity. A friend of mine have done such a business before but was
betrayed at the end and never got her share of the profit till now and I don’t
want such to happen to me. I do not have any particular person in mind I just
needed somebody I can trust to enable me make use of this opportunity to make
some extra money since my salary is low compared to the cost of living here.
Lastly, if you wish to take up this offer, send your reply to
joanna_elson@yahoo.com and I will reply you with all the contact details of
the source in Malaysia and that of my boss whom you will contact and send your
quotation to when I must have given you the price to quote and my boss will
then issue you an LPO (Legal Purchasing Order).I will also give the price of
the vaccines in United Kingdom for you to compare the price and see for
yourself. Regards JOANNA ELSON
