Dear Friend,

I greet you with warm regards. I earn a living in the oil industry as
leader of the Procurement Unit in a refining outfit owned by a Sao
Tome and Principe government. I currently reside in the united kingdom
and work as a liaison officer to the government

On my desk is a mandate to arrange for crude oil purchase for up to
5,000,000 barrels on every other month bases for 2 calendar years. The
essence of my reaching out to you is the fact that as a staff, it is
against Sao Tome government operational ethics to profiteer from any
dealings with any oil purchasing firm hence the reason I need a
trustworthy middle person outside my work circle to stand as the oil
AGENT or BROKER so we can get all the commission paid to us for all
the oil purchases.

I will guide you as an insider to obtain the required oil License
certification from the National Petroleum Agency of Sao Tome and
Principe (NPA-STP) .If you are interested to partner with me on this,
we can achieve this license and registration with the NPA-STP in your
name in less than 10 working days once the application is submitted.
Worry less about purchases as i already have some firms who are ready
to purchase oil but do not have any credible licensed agent to broker
for them as required.

As soon as I hear from you today confirming your interest, I shall
prepare and send to you draft copy of MOU between your good self and I
before we can start the process of acquiring the Oil Agency/ Brokerage
License.

Please ensure that you reply to this email address:

Thank you and Kind regards.
Engr. John Owen.
