JOHANNESBURG- SOUTH AFRICA
ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO
TOP SECRET PROPOSAL: VALUE $ 15 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS
My name is DR. VICTOR MAYO member of South African Senate and Deputy
Chairman; Contract reviews Commission of the Republic Of South Africa. I was
directed by The Chairman to send this urgent proposal to you. The national
contract general review of all Federal Unpaid contracts from the Apartheid
Era and at the same time authenticates the genuine ones. The decree that
established this commission gave birth to the contract Remittance department
of the Reserve Bank of South Africa, which works in conjunction with the
contract review commission. This
Means that any genuine contract payment reviewed and authenticated by this
commission would be automated by the contract Remittance Department, after
our ten years of democracy.
In view of the above general belief, myself and top members of this
Commission decided to contact you through this medium based on your personal
profiles and academic datas gathered here South Africa.All we want from you
is to provide for us a reliable account of your own, private or company or
elswhere where we can transfer thethe total sum of US$15 MILLION
DOLLARS(FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS) ,where we will transfer the fund with the
intention of sharing it among us since .This fund emanate from over invoiced
contract amount that was executed for my department by a mining company,
which has undergone liquidation. Although the actual contract amount was
paid to the company, the over invoiced amount of US$ 15,000.000 .00 has
since been lying in the department’s escrow account at the Reserve Bank of
South Africa pending proof of claim. I am privy to this classified
information by virtue of my position in the department. However we are
unable to proceed alone with the transaction because the civil service code
of conduct laws strictly prohibits us from engaging in private
business or operating any foreign account, hence our search For a foreigner
whose company and account (business or private). We can use to transfer the
money.We already have approved proof of claim and evident of this contract
in our possession, while soliciting for a your assistance as foreign
partner to act as front for us.
All so bear in mind that if this fund is not cleared it will be returned to
the government treasury account. As the top officials of this commission, be
rest assured that there is no course for alarm, as we would use our
positions here to push the fund to your account . This transaction is 100%
risk free. On the confirmation of your interest and readiness to assist us
in this transaction I will give you more detailed information and the laid
down procedure for a hitch-free transfer, which I am sure you would be
satisfied with since the fund will go through EUROPEAN BANK.. When
confirming receipt of this message, do not forget to include your
personal/direct telephone and fax numbers for personalized communication.
However we have mapped out a considerable amount of the total fund for your
assistance or we can negotiate with you.
I ask that you keep this communication strictly confidential, as the three
senior officials involved are very highly placed government functionaries
and would not like to be exposed at this stage.
Please go through this letter carefully and if you are interested in
assisting us, kindly notify me urgently via my confidential telephone and
above as time is of great essence in this transaction. Upon your
acceptance to assist us ,I shall provide you with more information on
procedures . Feel free to call me.
