Looks like we've finally made it!:'

Looks like we've finally made it!:'Dear Sir, I have investor that
want to invest $6.8 Billion into a company that needs fund for expansion only.
He can not invest the money to new Companies that want to start up but into
Companies that has been making good profits but needs funds for EXPANSION. His
Area of concentrations are Real Estate, Biotech, Textiles , Information
technology, Pharmaceuticals , Oil & Energy Industries, Mining &Metals
Industry, Management Consulting Industry ,Maritime industry, Hospital & Health
Care Industry, Consumer Services Industry, International Trade and Development
Industry ,Gambling & Casinos Industry, Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing
Industry, Insurance Industry, Chemical industries, Marketing and Advertising
Industry, Leisure, Travel & Tourism Industry, Agriculture, Aviation,
Retail, Import and Export, Trade and development industry, Real Estate &
Construction Industry and any other viable investment opportunities just like
yours. If you recommend a Company to take loan or investment funds from from my
client the investor, me and you will be entitled to 5% of any amount received
by the Company from the investor but if you are taking the fund directly as a
company i will be entitled to 2.5% and you will retain 2.5% as Global Finder's
fee commission. There will be a face to face meeting between the investor and
the investee after signing (MOU) the (AORI) should not be less than 3% per
annum. Look for a reliable Company that need funding and we can easily make 5%
of the amount received from the investor but we need to maintain absolute
confidentiality in the transaction as the fund provider want to remain silent,
so you have to keep it highly confidential between us. I will need the company
profile and the project summary of the company that will need funding to
present to my investor. I look forward to hearing from you. Mariles'

    Time to pick out the superyacht.

    The investment criteria alone is a masterpiece of precision: absolutely anything from biotech and deep-sea mining to gambling casinos and retail haberdashery, strictly provided the company is already wildly profitable and needs a casual chunk of nearly seven billion dollars.

    The mechanics of this classic advance-fee / 419 variation are textbook:

    The Staggering Sum: Floating $6.8 billion immediately weeds out anyone with a functioning filter and hooks the profoundly desperate or naive.
    The "Universal" Portfolio: Listing every sector under the sun to ensure whatever business you run happens to match.
    The Phantom Finder's Fee: Promising a split of 5% ($340 million) for essentially forwarding an email.
    The Inevitable Catch: Once you "find" a company or put yourself forward, the "silent investor" will require upfront legal fees, document validation charges, or escrow deposits to release the tranche-after which Mariles disappears into the ether.
    Marking as spam is probably safer than spending the commission just yet.
  • Well, I admit some of the prose is lacking a little strcutural integrity, but shoudl we be giving up hope so easily?
  • Copy All
    Perhaps not. It would be terribly unenterprising to let a modest $170 million commission slip away over a few misplaced commas and a slightly ambitious investment remit.

    To ensure due diligence, you might want to ask Mariles a few standard introductory questions before committing:

    Escrow Logistics: Will the $6.8 billion arrive via standard SWIFT transfer, or will it need to be collected in unmarked diplomatic pouches at a motorway service station?
    Sector Synergy: Does the investor prefer a company that specialises in both deep-sea mining and management consulting, or can the textiles division handle the leisure and gambling portfolio on alternate Tuesdays?
    The "Silent" Clause: If the investor is truly committed to silence, will the required face-to-face meeting after signing the MOU be conducted entirely in mime?
    Fee Structure: Is there any chance the 2.5% Global Finder's Fee can be settled in high-value gift cards, just to save everyone the paperwork?
    If Mariles can provide satisfactory answers-and guarantees they won't ask for a 1,500 "notarisation fee" via Western Union first-you may well be on your way.
  • Copying in PwC would certainly elevate the tone of the transaction to the institutional level it clearly deserves.

    A few distinct possibilities for how that might play out:

    The Overzealous Partner: A senior partner at PwC spots the $6.8 billion figure, bypasses spam filtering entirely, and immediately convenes an emergency partner meeting to pitch a 40 million preliminary advisory engagement.
    The Compliance Firewall: The email hits PwC's automated threat-detection grid, where the phrase "the fund provider want to remain silent, so you have to keep it highly confidential" triggers three separate anti-money-laundering alarms and a low-level investigation by their risk management committee.
    Mariles' Reaction: Mariles panics at the sudden arrival of 400 corporate disclaimers in the CC field, but decides to soldier on anyway, asking the Senior Managing Partner for an administrative clearance fee of 250 via MoneyGram to release the tranche.
    If nothing else, introducing the Big Four's standard billing rates into a classic advance-fee pitch might be the quickest way to find out just how liquid that $6.8 billion really is.
  • Oh, it is a little liquid, but will dry out to powder quite rapidly in the Sunlight
  • A classic case of photochemical evaporation-terribly common with high-yield sovereign wealth funds and off-ledger credit tranches once exposed to the harsh glare of daylight.

    Best to keep the paperwork indoors, then. The moment a junior auditor from PwC opens the blinds in a More London conference room, seven billion dollars worth of liquid assets might just drift out of the ventilation shaft as a fine white chalk.

    You could always propose a Nocturnal Closing Clause in the MOU: the funds must be transferred exclusively between midnight and 3:00 AM under cloud cover, thereby preserving their delicate physical state until the 2.5% clears into your account.
