Greetings XXX

To begin, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mr. Comfort Bunting, and I work as a Group Supply Chain Manager/Procurement Category Manager for The Petroleum Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa (PetroSA). The Petroleum Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa (PetroSA), is a wholly state-owned company of the Government of South Africa and registered as a commercial entity under the South African law. It is a subsidiary of CEF SOC Limited (CEF).

For a period of (TWELVE MONTHS), my company is interested in acquiring crude oil from the United Arab Emirates in quantities of up to (EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND BARRELS PER MONTH).

If you are asking why I need you to carry out this strategy, it is because it is against my company’s operating ethics for an employee to profit personally from the company business activities. As a result, I will need to collaborate with someone capable and trustworthy who is not in my personal circle in order to keep my involvement private and also note that You do not need to go to the UAE in order to conduct the transaction. You can conduct it from the comfort of your home as long as you have a computer and printer to print and fill forms for the application. The project will not prevent you from doing your normal jobs or business, but it will generate some extra income into your folds.

So, my proposal to you is that we work together to create a middleman structure, with you as the front man and me operating behind the scenes.

I have relevant contacts within the upper echelon of the United Arab Emirates for granting crude oil export licenses to any company or individual I present for this venture.

This is a fantastic opportunity for us to establish ourselves as global oil industry leaders. Only after getting your response and confirmation of your interest will I provide full details.

Regards,

Mr. Comfort Bunting
Group Supply Chain Manager
Petroleum Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa (PetroSA).
