Oil business deal proposal from Benjamin Dell

Good day
I would like to introduce you to a business of oil supply as I have a lucrative offer that would be of benefit to us.
I work for Supreme OIl and Gas , A division of BLU OIL MALTA LTD as a procurement supervisor. Supreme OIl and Gas, is engaged in the supply of gas oil and diesel oils for the marine and industrial transport use, situated in the Republic of Malta / Europe and a common border with Libya and most Northern African Countries.
Like I said, I believe that we could take advantage of the high price of gas oil / petrol in Southern Africa countries of South Africa and Zimbabwe respectively, to our own benefit. Please Read: https://www.news24.com/Tags/Topics/petrol_price_hike
On my desk is a mandate to arrange for Oil purchase from Republic of South Africa and Zimbabwe for up to 2,000,000 barrels on monthly bases for 12calendar months.
This purchase is what we call a back door purchase / black market in oil market, my colleagues and I have been conducting this back door supplies /black market oil supply to most big companies in South Africa and Zimbabwe including private mines, agriculture and manufacturing companies for use on their plants in times like this when the normal petrol prize is high.
The reason for my reaching out to you is because we in the process of establishing a middleman structure to mediate between the 2 parties involved (our Company and the Companies in Southern Africa) before any contract is signed.
You may be wondering why I cannot do it myself. The honest fact is that as an employee working for this company, it is against our company’s operational ethics/policy for an employee to be involved or profit in any financial dealings with our Company hence I am looking for a trustworthy person outside my work circle in order to maintain a discreet profile.
I wish to extend this partnership to you my friend to build a middleman structure with you while I work from the background to guide you. Our commission/brokerage as middleman is between $2 – $3 per barrel so if the target of 2M barrels is met monthly we stand to share $4M – $6M every month for a span of 12 months.
Contact me if you are interested in this deal, so that I can give you further details.
