Sir,

We are successfully running a number of offshore security projects in Nigeria, for multinational oil & gas companies.
We are about to start offering onboard & escort services in the GOA - would (my company) be interested?
If yes, please forward this e-mail to the correct person for HS & E or Maritime security if not you?
We are also going to have a security workshop in Rotterdam soon - would (my company) be interested to attend?
I have attached two datasheets & XXX vessel photos.

I suspect they are making more money than the pirates.
