Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear Sir,
I am the chairman of the contract award committee of
the Gold and Natural resources ministry here in South
Africa, for security reasons, I may not wish to
disclose the most important thing for now until I hear
from you.
After due deliberation with my partner, I decided to
forward to you this business proposal, we want you to
assist us receive the sum of Twenty eight million, six
hundred thousand united state bills ($28.6M) into your
account.
This fund resulted from an over-invoiced contract
awarded by us under the budget allocation to my
ministry and the bill was approved for payment by the
concerned ministries. The contract was executed,
commissioned and the contractor was paid his actual
cost of the contract. Now, we are left with the
balance of $28.6M as the over invoiced amount, which
we have deliberately over estimated for our own use.
Please note that the law forbids civil servants to
operate or own foreign accounts hence this contact, we
have agreed to share the money in the following
percentages: 30 for you, 60 for us 10 for tax as may
be required by your government, because we don?t need
anything will delay this money when it arrive in your
bank account.
Note that this transaction is very much free from all
sorts of risk hence the business was carefully planned
before it was successfully executed and we the
officials involved in the deal have put many years in
service to our ministry. We have been exercising
patience for this privilege for so long not until the
presidential announcement last week, that all foreign
contractors owed be paid forthwith, this will enable
the presidency reconcile our debt ratio with
the outside world and to most of us, this is a
lifetime blessing we cannot afford to miss.
Upon indication of your interest to fully co-operate
with us, a payment application/information form will
be sent to you via email for completion. Note that the
following information: your private phone number and
email address willenable us seek/secure approval of
the fund from the concerned government
quarters/ministries within 3-4 banking days.
As soon as we confirm receipt of this money in your
nominated bank account, my partner and I will come
over to your country to arrange for our own share and
possibly invest part of this money in your country.
Let honesty and trust be our watchword throughout this
transaction.
I shall furnish you with some details about myself.
Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated.
Best regards.
Engr. Bangura Utah
