Subject: THANKS!!!
Attention: Dear,
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)million 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,David joseph.
