From: paul kruger <krugerjacob@zwallet.com>
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 15:13:50 -0400
Subject: PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
ATTN: PRESIDENT/CEO
It gives me a great pleasure to send you this
business/partnership proposal. I am writing to seek
your partnership in a business of mutual benefit.
Within the South African Department of Transport where
I work as the director of audit and project
implementation, we (my colleagues and I) have in our
possession an unclaimed payment bills totaling
$18,500,000.00 USD. This represent the balance of the
total contract over invoiced value executed on behalf
of my ministry by a contracting firm who has left
South Africa since the completion of their contract
work.
We want to transfer abroad with the assistance and
co-operation of a foreign company or individual who
will receive the said funds on our behalf in a
reliable foreign company or non-companys account with
as little or zero balance in the account to receive
such funds. We have in principles an approval to remit
these funds to a foreign bank account. The successful
remittance of these funds can be achieved by filing
application for transfer of rights and privileges of
the said funds and other necessary documents.
I have the authority of my colleagues involved to
propose that your consent to this transaction will be
kept confidential and your assistance highly
compensated by a portion of the $18.5M United States
Dollars. We are willing to set aside a portion for
taxation purposes if required. Note also that all
legal documents will be properly secured and
documented. Besides your assistance is needed as the
South African Civil Service Code of Conduct prohibit
us from operating foreign accounts while still in
service
I can assure you that my partners and I are in a
position to make this payment claim fruitful, provided
you can give us the assurance and guarantee that our
share will be secured. Visualize this business
opportunity as an indirect financial resource; also
your area of specialization is not a hindrance in the
successful execution of this transaction. More details
will be made available to you once you accept this
partnership proposal. If interested, please contact me
immediately on (krugerjacob@zwallet.com), as you
aware myself and colleague is still in active
government service as such this transaction must be
treated strictly confidential.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully.
Dr.P J KRUGER
