CONTRACT REVIEW COMMISSION HEADQUATER
PHONE: +27 761044836
EMAIL: zumanelson8@hotmail.com
ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO
TOP SECRET PROPOSAL: VALUE $ 15 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS
My name is DR. Nelson Zuma 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 data gathered here South Africa.All we want from you
is to provide for us a reliable account of your own, private or company or
elsewhere where we can transfer the 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 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.
Regards
SENATOR: Nelson Zuma
