Construction Business of heavy duties Bridges and Other. Presently my
company wishes to come down to Nigeria/Africa, as we have been made to
understand from the Chamber of Trade and Commerce in here that mineral
resources are sold in Nigeria. We want to procure a raw material and
if possible site our annex office/industry in your country due to the
nearness of the raw material based on your good recommendation. Our
humble purpose of contacting you is to make sure my company does not
fall into awful hands in Africa as we like to come through you,
because we have not been to Nigeria before. We also want you to be my
company representative concerning the sitting of our annex
office/industry, which is solely going to be under your close
supervision, you shall aid the process of construction and
incorporation and my company shall go into bilateral relationship
personally with you.
We shall come with letter of memorandum of understanding for your
official endorsement. We implore you to assist our company in
confirming a raw material by contacting this company (below) in
Nigeria to inquire the availability and indigenous price of the raw
material.Lantang Mining Company Limited

for inquiry on our behalf, you may not disclose to him that
foreigners will be coming for procurement to avoid possible increase
of their price above the International standard price my company’s is

indigenous confirmation of substantial quantity of the raw material
and most especially fair price we shall endorse 10% commission of the
total purchase for you as our host representative. It is important to
inform you of the continuity of this transaction because we will be
buying the product four-month intervals for five good years through
