I resonded to the email and then another email in resonse That read as follows-
Greetings! Sorry for not answering right away. Thank you very much for
your interest to my offer. In fact, I need help of a bit different
character from you. My father owns a company Antea Hotel. His name is
Lewis Blum. I am his son Julius Blum. I am 34, and I have been working
in my father’s business for eight years by now. This year my company
has became a dealer of «Mitsubishi Electric». I enclose an archivated
certificate to this letter. We have made a deal for 1000 photo booths
http://www.mitsubishialbum.com
The total sum of our contract is 7000000 (seven million US dollars).
One can say for sure that these photo booths are the future of digital
photo printing. They are bright and compact in size and they are
convenient for the ultimate customers. It is likely that soon such
photo booths will be easily found by customers at every large
department store. It is so convenient: the processing shall take not
even one hour, and one can easily receive his coveted pictures in 10
by 15 cm format. The pictures, which are obtained by
thermo-sublimation method, are water-proof and tear-resistant. You can
receive Mitsubishi quality pictures (including large format ones) with
bright colors and sharp images in just several seconds. Currently we
have deals for 680 photo booths to be installed at various hotels in
Turkey. The cost of one photo at the hotel is 2-3 USD. The prime-cost
of one photo is 0,24 USD. This business is very profitable and is not
yet well developed in our country (http://www.mitsubishialbum.com).
Now I need a person who would be able to help me to get the money
outside of the country. We have high tax rates on purchases and high
tax rates on this particular type of activity. I would like you to
help me with this deal. Here they check relatives in other countries
and it would be impossible to hide this deal. The average tax from
this deal is 1.4 million USD. I’ve viewed your resume and your history
in the USA. You have high potential and I would not say that you are a
mercenary person. I’d like to offer your 3% of the total sum of the
deal, which is 210000 USD. This is very profitable for me. If you
agree, it would not take much effort from you. I’d like you to be the
Director General of the firm, which shall conclude the deal. The firm
shall be in Latvia. You may ask why Latvia, and it can easily be
explained. In the modern world the current practice includes purchase
and registration of companies in various states. Latvia is one of the
most attractive European countries in this respect. Its geographical
and economical situation is unique and it makes registration and
purchase of companies there very profitable. Latvia is a truly
European state politically, economically and culturally. At the same
time, due to its historical experience, it keeps close economical
relations with the whole world. From May 1, 2004, Latvia has became a
full-fledged Member State of the European Union. So, once we buy a
company in Latvia, we become owners of a European enterprise, quite
like any other enterprise in any other EU state, including the “old
Europeâ€, such as Germany, Spain, Italy, etc. So, you can use all the
benefits of the EU commercial activities conducted by a company, which
is registered in the EU. The archive that I enclose includes the
forms, which you have to fill in. The deal shall be done the following
way. We shall transfer the money to the accounts of the firm, which we
shall register in your name. Then you will transfer the money for
purchase of the photo booths to the accounts of «Mitsubishi
Electric». They shall supply the equipment, and then we shall close
the firm. You shall receive your share right after the money comes to
your account in Latvia. Perhaps, you shall need to go to Latvia to
sign some documents, however, this is unlikely. It is quite possible
that we can do it long-distance. Please, read all the documents, that
I enclose in an archive, fill in the forms, and send them back to me.
Also, if you agree, please, write to me what are your plans for this
month, in case you urgently have to go to Latvia. I also would like to
express my wish to you personally, that our deal stays anonimous. We
do not need advertisement, nor do we need any problems. This is
business. I am looking forward for your reply soon (as a matter of
several days) and, please, give your phone number, so we could get in
touch with you.
With hopes for our fruitful cooperation, Julius Blum
