Good Morning,

i am Dr. Anwar Faraad Khan, a member of the Travanka Oil (Pty) Limited. I'm extending a business proposition to you based on my interest to work with you. Currently, I work under the procurement department of National Oil Committee of the Petroleum Agency SA and I will be going back to Cape Town by tomorrow.

The Petroleum Agency SA supplies crude-oil products to the world market through license mandate operators/holders. The Agency is issuing crude oil lifting license allocations to foreign individuals and companies who will market their product and earn a commission in return. The work of the licensed operator/holder is to find the buyers of the crude oil and negotiate for a buyer and seller transaction on behalf of the Agency. The Agency issues an oil lifting license with a monthly oil allocation of five hundred thousand barrels to each approved license operator.

This implies that a total quantity of five hundred thousand barrels of crude oil will be available to you for sale monthly. The licensed operator earns a US$4.00 commission on each barrel of crude oil sold to the buyer. You will be earning a gross monthly commission of US$2 million monthly. I am seeking a partner who will be the face of our partnership (owner of the oil license) while I work from the inside to facilitate the operations in your favor.

My proposition is that we secure an oil lifting license from the Petroleum Agency SA in your name as a crude oil license holder. I will find the buyers and make sure that your allocated crude oil is successfully sold to the buyers every month. The commissions would be shared between you and me 50/50 percent.

If interested, contact me through my private email address or fax number below.

Yours sincerely,


Dr. A. F. Khan
