Your major obligation in this deal is to setup an offshore account, manage, disburse funds accrued from the sales of these crude daily in an offshore account with a Bank that will be communicated to you in later date. We don't want the money here in SaudI Arabia due to the ever changing political situations. You will be responsible for setting up this account. All proceeds from the sales of the crude oil products will be channeled into the new offshore account that you will setup in your name. I am going to send you the bank contact information for the opening of the offshore account.

Hence the company will be registered in your name here in SaudI Arabia. It will be called HAMMAMI OIL & GAS COMPANY. Your physical presence in SaudI Arabia to stand as the independent foreign contractor is not really important, I will handle all cost/facilities/manpower required to explore/store/export these barrels. These are our primary responsibility.

I am going to send you the Bank contact details were the Offshore Account will be setup. It will protect us from any insecurity and International Financial Regulatory Agency's scrutiny, as crude oil buyers have a way of doing business to avoid raising eyebrows since they are in key positions in government so let them be our guide in that regard as to where to Bank the funds they are providing which will transcend into our business purse in the long run once the operations start fully. Please you are to adhere to my instructions.

You will manage and notify of any funds you receive in the account and would be given instructions for wires also to all the necessary parties. Kindly send the below information for authenticity.

Full Name:

Contact Address:

Company Name:

Company Address:

Job Position:

Company Phone number:

As a matter of fact we expect $100 Million USD first in the coming day from a Georgian buyer who is already on ground and there is the need to speed up the account opening as I would need to forward the details to him and this means your 15% is certain as soon as the funds is confirmed in your account.

Meanwhile, attached to this message is the application form which you are to fill and send it back to us via email to enable us create your file in our office and also to enable our legal department to prepare the MOA that will back up this transaction between you and our company.

Time is not our friend, We’ll start exporting immediately we secure the License for your company name (HAMMAMI OIL & GAS COMPANY). I await the filled application form with a copy of your international passport for your identification.
