Good day!
I am Sandile Nogxina, Director Department of Minerals and Energy Affairs here in South Africa. I decided to send this business proposal to you after some due deliberations and Searching. As the director, my responsibility includes signing and awarding of contracts from my Department. Right now we have in our possession the sum of US$ 38.2M (Thirty Eight Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only), which is now in government suspense account of a recent contract awarded to foreign firm for the supply of machinery to our incorporation – Department of Minerals and Energy Affairs. This money was realized through over invoice and Bulk purchases that were made on behalf of the Department of Minerals and Energy Affairs. Right now we are having an excess sum of US$ 38.2M (Thirty Eight Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) already approved by the Reserve bank of South Africa for Transfer.
This money represents an “OVERVALUE” of contracts that was awarded to a foreign firm since 1999. The company that executed the contracts has since collected their contract payment leaving behind “OVER INVOICED” surplus of US$ 38.2M (Thirty Eight Million Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars which was my arrangement.
This is in pursuant to the terms of our agreements under the International Monetary Fund (I.M.F) and Paris Club Servicing to pay out all outstanding debt owe to foreign firms. I now seek your assistance for the transfer of the over-invoiced (surplus) amount as the beneficiary. This is in recognition of your personal executive profile, and investment opportunities available in your country.
I therefore request that you grant me the consent to present you or your firm as the foreign beneficiary of this fund. At this juncture, I want you to send to me your companies details, which includes your telephone and fax number, e.t.c so that I can present yourself as the rightful beneficiary of this fund to enable me put claim on the contract sum. I will manipulate and authenticate the payment of the sum in favor of your firm.
I am assuring you that it is 100% risk-free transaction because all necessary arrangement has been made on my side.
Finally, I have agreed to give you 20% of the fund for your assistance, while the remaining 80% will be for my investment in your country.
As soon as I secure approvals/confirmation of the payment into your account, I will make every necessary arrangement to be with you in your country before the money will hit your account.
Please, note that this transaction is highly confidential and await your immediate response.
Thanks,
SANDILE NOGXINA
