Attn: Chairman/C.E.O,
STRICTLY FOR YOU & I NEED YOUR URGENT RESPONSE PLEASE!
Greetings to you, I envisage the surprise this letter may cause you having not met you in person or having any previous communication with you before. I got your contact from my wife who is the Director of Black businesswomen Empowerment Association here in South Africa.
After due deliberation with my family, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US$85.5M (Eighty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only)
But First let me start by introducing myself as Mr. Gugu Plamini, a Father of three children and I was the former financial Adviser to the Late Chief Arms Procurement Director with South African Ministry of Defense since 1st April 1996 to his Death on 21 March 2004 under the auspices of the Late Dr. Ibrahim Shaik) I have a good business proposition for you which I know that by the special grace of God will be Beneficial to you and me.
Firstly before I proceed, I have to assure you that this mail is neither junk, illusion nor mere imagination, but practically achievable if given your Maximum support and co-operation. In June 2001, (Dr. Ibrahim Shaik.) And my self went and deposited the sum of ($85.5 million Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars) into his secret account with one of the biggest Commercial Bank in South Africa under their Foreign Exchange Department on a three year fixed Deposit basis, this fund emanated as a result of an over-Invoiced contract that he executed with some foreign companies From (France, Germany, and Nederland) to supply Arms and Ammunitions here in the Ministry of Defense in South Africa. The contract was awarded to his secret opened Company also and was Over-invoiced, by him with His position I am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate on contracts awarded from 1990 to date and If they discover this money during investigation in his bank a!
ccount,
they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in South Africa and this will definitely affect my professional career and my position as his former financial adviser be inform that I am the only one in control of this account since his death. With the help of the Bank Manager who is strongly behind me in this deal and the Bank Manager has already rolled over this fund to Reserve Bank of South Africa under Government Suspense Account with anonymous name and Company waiting for somebody to come up for claims .
The South African law states that, in cases like this the Money should be returned to the Government's account. I am Seriously against returning the late Dr. Ibrahim 's sweat to the Government's account, because one of the officials will Steal this money from the Government's account, so I have Decided to divert this fund for my own personal use and investments. I am writing you to solicit for your assistance to stand as the beneficiary of this fund for safekeeping of this money as well as for investment purposes you are to take 30% of the total sum for your assistance.
While 5% will be set aside to take care of all the expenses incurred during this transaction, and the remaining
65% will be for my investments in your country under your care.
On receipt of your acceptance letter, and a mutual Agreement is reached between us I will send to you all the vital documents relevant to this transaction to enable you claim the money, part of your obligations is to assist in opening an account with a commercial bank here in South Africa that we May agree so that this fund could be wired into your Account directly without any hitch.
As soon as the fund gets to your account, you are expected to move the money immediately into another personal bank account in your Country.
I will see to it that the account is not traced from South Africa for security reasons please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality of this business if this transaction must succeed. If you do not feel Comfortable with this transaction, do not hesitate to discontinue but if you are interested and capable you can contact me immediately on my private Email: zulukingdoomconsultant@webmail.co.za
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family.
