Kind Attention,

I was instructed by my colleague to look for aforeign partner or company who
can assist us to execute an urgent business involving huge profit and
international cooperation. We are interested in the importation of Solar
Panels, Agricultural equipment and Computer accessories from overseas and we
need a foreign partner who can assist us with a bank account for the
transfer of S$35.000.000.00.I am an accountant with the Energy Department,
Prictoria South Africa and this money originated from over-invoiced
contract sum executed for the corporation some years back. This contract
has been completed by a foreign firm and the contractor duly paid. I now
seek if you would permit the surplus to be remitted into your account. We
have resolved that 15% will be your commission for nominating a bank
account and a company that will receive this fund on our behalf and any
Other assistance you may give in this deal. 10% of the entire sum has been
mapped out to settle any outstanding expenses we may incur in the process of
this funds transfer, while 75% of our share will be used for the
importation.
My colleagues and I are civil servants and as members of the contract
review panel.It is against the (code of conduct bureau)
for us to operate a foreign account, hence we are soliciting your firm
support.
We can finalize the transaction in 8 working days.If this deal is accepted.
please respond to us via e-mail to enable us provide you with the detailed
modalities for the successful completion of the project. There is no risk
involved, we just need international contact that is reliable to work as

Upon the receipt of the following i will update you with the modalities of
the transaction.
