Subject: BUSINESS INVESTMENT
Sir/Madam,
It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues.
Your information was given to me by a member of the South African Export
Promotion Council (SAEPC) who was with the Government delegation on a trip
to your country for a bilateral conference talk to encourageforeign
investors.
I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution
of the deal here under for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep
it confidential because of the nature of this business. Within the
Department of Minerals & Energy where I work as a Director of Audit and
Project Implementation and with the co-operation of three other top
officials, we have in our possession an overdue payment in US funds. The
said funds represent certain percentage of the total contract value executed
on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the
officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$28.500,000.00 (Twenty Eight
Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars).
Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor,
leaving the excess balance unclaimed. Since the present Government is
determined to pay foreign contractors all debts owed, so as to maintain good
relationship with foreign governments and non-governmentalagencies.
We intend to include our bills for approvals with the Department of Finance
and the Contract Review and Payment Committe (C.R.P.C.). So we are seeking
your assistance to front as beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are
not allowed to operate foreign accounts. Details and change of beneficiary
information upon application for claim to reflect payment and approvals will
be secured on behalf of you/your company.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be
willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be
so negotiated and agreed
upon by both you and we on this side, before further details will change
hands to enhance our primary objective.
The business is completely safe and secure, provided you treat it with
utmost confidentiality. It does not matter whether you/your company does
contract projects as a transfer of powers will be secured in favour of
you/your company to settle any legality. Also, your area of specialization
is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have
reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us.
The mode of sharing after a successful transfer of the money into your
account, shall be 70% to my colleagues and I, for the role you will be
expected to play in this deal,we have agreed to give you 25% of the total
sum and 5% for the expenses we are going to encounter by the two parties at
the course of this transaction I expect your urgent response immidaitely and
pls always use my confidential e-mail address to contact me
amanijoncue@hotmail.com
To enable us conclude this transaction urgently without any hitch. Kindly
notify me for further details upon your acceptance of this proposal.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Regards
