Dear Friend,
Do pardon me for getting to you through this means,its because of its urgency. We have to make our communication more secured after your reply to this email as I explain to you below.
Within the South African Department of State Expenditure where I work as the
Director of Strategic Planning and Implementation,my colleagues and I used our official position to influenced the award of a contract to a foreign company based on a gentleman's agreement that a certain percentage of the total contract value will be awarded to us.The contract has been executed by the foreign contracting firm and the contract amount paid less US$15.4m (Fiftenteen Million Four Hundred and Twenty Thousand US Dollars).Which represent the percentage which we agreed should be awarded to us.
We want to transfer this amount of ours (US$15.4M)abroad with the assistance
and co-operation of a foreign company or individual who will receive the said
funds/sub-contract on our behalf in a reliable foreign company or non-company's 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 of your choice. The successful remittance of these funds can be achieved by filling
application for transfer of rights and privileges of the said funds and other
necessary documents.
I have the authority of my 3 other colleagues involved to propose that your consent to this transaction will be kept confidential and your assistance highly compensated by a portion of the $15.4m United States Dollars.We are willing to set aside a portion for taxation purposes and anyother if required.
Note also that all legal processes/ documents will be properly secured and
documented.
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 as it does not require any special expertise.
If you are interested, mail me up immediately and also sending to me your
direct telephone/fax numbers so i could reach you for more details.
We are still in active government service as such this must be treated strictly personal.Feel free to make more enquiries which we shall not hesitate to furnish you with as you are interested.Remain assured that its totally risk free.
Thank you for your anticipated favourable cooperation.
My Sincere regards,
- Dr. Lawrence Ngololo
