I will advise that you read thoroughly and carefully through this mail. This transaction is highly confidential and 100% risk free. It should be strictly between you and me. I am a director in the department of Mining and Natural Resources here in South Africa formerly mandated to head the committee that looked into failed, uncompleted and over-invoiced
contracts in my Department.During the course of investigation it was found that the sum of US$28.5m[Twenty Eight million five hundred thousand
US Dollar] was issued for an over invoiced contract but this said money is in the Federal Reserve Bank suspense account.
Owing to the policy in the country as against public servants operating foreign account and also to have that kind of huge amount in our local accounts, I am soliciting for an individual to transfer this money into his foreign account for personal investment purpose.
Note clearly that this transaction has been well planned. I have followed all the required official contract award/ payment procedures, and
all documents to facilitate the smooth conclusion of this transaction are legitimate and officially in order. There is no problem, this contract
is LEGAL. THIS TRANSACTION IS A BUSINESS DEAL BETWEEN YOU AND I, BUT IT IS LEGITIMATE AND GENUINE TO THE AUTHORITIES. I want to assure you that you have nothing to fear about, your main priority should be to give us your total co-operation, and follow my advice /instruction. You should consider this transaction as already successful & concluded.
What is required, is for us to have you registered as a foreign contractor with my department, for this I would require you to provide me with your company name, address and phone with fax number for the registration, it is after this has been done that I will make you the sole beneficiary of the fund and submit for payment processing to your nominated
account to the relevant ministry.
Consider this transaction successful and completed for I have taken care of all modalities and official procedures involved legitimately and as required. Note clearly that as top Government officials we are under
paid, this has motivated me in this deal and I hope you will understand and give me all necessary confidentiality.
Once more I want you to understand that this transaction is 100% risk free. We will discuss the percentage to be given to you before we proceed.
Thanks in anticipation of your support.
Sincerely,
DR.ADAMS.
