This email just came in tonight...anyone who feels they'd like to help supply and NOT screen print one million t-shirts at $8 each, let me know.
I'll just add my 0.5% commission to your bill and you can send ME the money in advance, thanks, as a finder's fee.
I'll then leave you do deal with Mr Idi Amin!


Hello Dear,

I'm Mr. Curic Francis CEO, De Curic Agency Ltd, Abuja. My company is
accredited to the Tender Board Contract Award Committee, Ministry of
Interior. We represent the Ministry of Interior on contract basis in sourcing
competent and reputable companies for the past 3 years now.

Right now, the Ministry is in dire need of 1,000,000.00 pieces of T-shirts
through the Tender Board Contract Award Committee for the fourth-coming CNPC
National Convention.

I'm writing you to know if your company is in the position to bid for the
supply of 1,000,000.00 pieces of T-shirts to the Ministry. If your company
is capable, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Below are the t-shirts specifications.

T-shirts specifications
Color: White
Neck: Round:
Sizes: Large, Extra Large and small
GSM: 180
Price: $8.0 per t-shirt
Type: 100% cotton, normal European type.
Quantity: 1,000,000.00 pieces
Embroidery: No Embroidery, No printing, No label
Invoice: CIF to Lagos Sea port of destination.
Payment: 100% upfront by T/T.
Delivery date: Three (3-6) months after receiving total contract payment.

As I said, if your company is capable of bidding for this contract, do not
delay to contact me. As soon as I hear from you, I will submit your
company's name to the Board without delay.

As your contact agent, my commission is usually 1% of the total contract
value which you will add for me in the invoice. I will receive the
commission as soon as you receive the contract payment from the Ministry.

Feel free to write me. It's my dream to build and establish this good
business relationship with your company.

I look forward to hearing from you. Call me on +234 7065414767.

He wants 1,000,000 pieces of T-shirts? Run a couple dozen shirts through a shredder until you have a million pieces.

Questions:

Where are you going to get one million T-Shirts?

How are you going to finance the purchase price of a potential several million dollars?

He should try the chinese [Smile]

He does say they'll pay up-front, I think...

Dave I did consider that shredder part too-but counting them would be tough, and notice that it's 'one million point zero zero.' That's two significant figures-he wants no fractions, just the perfect 10 to the power of six. And we'd have to remove all labels which would take a short while...

As I said, I'm happy to forward this to anyone as long as they pay me the half a percent finder's fee first! [Wink]

Does Pay-Pal go that high?

Tell'em to just send the money, then you'll have a couple months to worry about where you're going to get the shirts.

Hmmm, Dale, that's about 25 thousand shirts a day, times 40 working days to find & verify the order... but I'll let you do it-just send me the commission, thanks!
