Subject: FROM PETER
DEPARTMENT OF MINERAL AND ENERGY
207 BATES DRIVE, LOEVENSTEIN BELLVILLE,
JOHANNESBURG 2000 SOUTH AFRICA.
FROM:PETER KIMALO
Dear Friend,
I am Dr.Peter Kimalo, a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an
Executive accountant with the South Africa Departmentof Minerals & Energy
First and Foremost my apology, for using this medium to reach you, for a
transaction/business of this nature. Be informed that a member of the South
Africa export Promotion Council (SEPC) who was at the Government delegation
to your country during a trade exhibition gave your enviable
credentials/particulars to me. I have decided to seek a confidential
cooperation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for
the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because
of the nature of this transaction.
Within the department of Minerals & Energy where I work as an executive
accountant and with the cooperation of four other top officials, we have in
our possession as overdue payments bills totalling twenty-one million, five
Hundred thousand U.S Dollars ($21,500,000) which we want to transfer abroad
with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to
receive the said funds on our behalf or a reliable foreign company account
to receive such funds. More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as
the South Africa Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore
account hence your importance in the whole transaction. This amount $21.5m
represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my
department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials
over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid
to the original contractor,leaving the balance in the tune of the said
amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by Telegraphic
transfer (TT) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an
application through the Justice Ministry here in South Africa for the
transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you.
I have the authority of my partners involved to what would be your share of
the funds should you be willing to assist us in the transaction. The
business itself is 100% safe . 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 me.
Endeavour to contact me immediately through my email address whether or not
you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for
another foreign partner to carry out this deal. I want to assure you that my
partners and myself are in a position to make the payment of this claim
possible provided you can give us a very strong assurance and guarantee that
our share will be secured and please remember to treat this matter as very
confidential, because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as we
are still in active Government Service and remember once again that time is
of the essence in this business.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
Dr.Peter Kimalo
NOTE:If you are interested,you should try your best possible to send me the
following information.Full names and profile( address,age,marital status
etc.),Company name and address,Confidential tel. and fax numbers
