assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual
to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign
non-company account to receive such funds.


More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the
South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us

whole transaction. This amount $14.5m 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 Key tested
Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any foreign bank account you
will provide by filing in an application through the
Ministry of Justice 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 propose that
should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your
share of the sum will be 20% of the$14.5 million, 70% for us
and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses and while
balance 5% will go to charity organisation.

The business itself is 100%safe, on your part provided you
treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your
area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful
execution of this transaction.I have reposed my confidence

confirm whether or not you are interested in this deal. If
you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign
