Re: Investment with S. L. International.

I send you greetings. I have found your contact email address listed on an Internet Business Directory and it is my wish to do business with you, hence your receipt of this letter.

The purpose of this letter is to introduce myself to you. I am Dr. Kunahmed Shetty, Managing Partner, Standard Life International. Standard Life International is a business consulting firm, offering business advisor services worldwide.  We are not a very big company but we have recently been confronted with the task of investing funds exceeding our capacity and have decided to seek partners to cooperate with us in investing the available funds because we have never done business of this nature.

We are brokering an investment venture on behalf of a client of our firm. This venture will involve the investment of Twenty Five Million Dollars.

We are by this letter considering entering into a partnership with you so as to allow us invest the available funds in your country and to appoint you as representatives and co-managers of the investment funds. We are ready to give you a commission of 10% of the available capital as soon as the proposed partnership between us is started.

Since we cannot determine if this email is still functional and also your willingness to cooperate with us, we have kept this proposal brief.

If you are interested in this offer of partnership, please respond to enable us give further information about the proposed partnership. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Your expedient response will be appreciated as we look forward to hearing from you soon. Please send all email correspondence to drkunah@uku.co.uk
 
 
Thank you.
Kunahmed Shetty, Dr.
