Beautiful bit of creative writing that arrived in my inbox today:

Dear ,

I write to solicit your collaboration and supports to enable us execute a very lucrative and high profiting business transaction. I am very sure that with trust and understanding, we can be able to execute this business to our mutual benefit and believe that you will not let down the trust I am willing to repose in you. I work for an Ivorian based public international firm (a MIC), I work as the corporate affairs manager. Between the 10th -13th of June 2015 a business seminar was held in Yamoussoukro Cote d'Ivoire of which I attended. While in the Seminar, I was opportune to meet a renowned Farmer who happens to be the 15th President of a family farm, he is an accomplished and widely known and recognized millionaire farmer in this part of the region. He has farms in different countries. Above all, he is one of the greatest suppliers of cattle, beef and other dairy products in this part of the coast.

On getting to know my profession, Alhaji the farmer took me into confidence by informing me about the purchase of a particular but very important medicine for his cattle. He informed me that he buys this product at five thousand dollars per carton, and that he mostly buys to the excess of 850 cartons. He informed me that he would like me to find out if my organization could source for him a cheaper supplier considering the recent trend of falls in the general price of beef in the world market which is affecting his business. Back in my office, I discussed this proposal with my boss and he decided to handle the supply ourselves. We carried out a market research and discovered that we could purchase these medicines somewhere cheaper in Europe for two thousand two hundred dollars per carton. We moved a proposal to them to supply at four thousand eight hundred dollars per carton of which his farm company accepted.

Owing to my role in the transaction, I had an agreement with my director to be receiving 15% of whatever gain is made on each supply of which he agreed. But on the completion of the supply and the receipt of the payment, my boss renegaded on our agreement and refused to give me my share of the profit. Since then our relationship has been soiled. I have since accepted it as one of life experiences. However, as faith would have it, recently, I ran into Alhaji and he informed me that he would want us to urgently supply him with 1,600 cartons of the same product before August this year 2016. I used the opportunity to inform Alhaji that I can introduce him to the main producer of this vaccine who can supply him the product at four thousand four hundred if he will pay in advance as he usually does. He was very pleased and has assured me that he is not going to contact my boss again for this vaccine. He is now waiting for me to link him to the producer of the vaccine.

We will buy the medicine at two thousand two hundred dollars from the manufacturing company and sell at four thousand four hundred dollars to Alhaji, with him making a down payment of 50% of our quoted price first. If you are interested and capable of handling these supplies on my behalf, kindly get back to me urgently through my e-mail, so that we can agree on the terms and profit sharing, after which I can then furnish you with the contacts of both our source and that of Alhaji. Kindly be notified that at no point in time should you let Alhaji know that you are not the producer of the medicine and we should never allow him to know the contact of our real source in Europe so that he wouldn't by pass us to deal directly with them. Please you can contact me directly for further details on dipakdat@gmail.com.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely, Mr. Dipak Dutta.
