MR WILLIAMS KADIATA
DEPARTMENT OF MINERALS AND ENERGY
PRETORIA, REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
TEL:+27-78-564-5404
Hello Sir/Madam,
I am MR.WILLIAMS KADIATA, Director of Project, South Africa Department of
Minerals & Energy. I am making this contact with you based on the
committee's need for an individual/company who is willing to assist us with
a solution to a money transfer.In unfolding this proposal, I want to count
on you, as a respected and honest person to handle this transaction with
sincerity, trust and confidentiality. I have decided to seek a confidential
co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for
the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because
of the nature of this transaction.
Within the Department of Minerals & Energy where I work as a Director of
Project and with the co-operation of two other top officials, we have in our
possession as overdue payment bills totaling Twenty - Two Million, Five
Hundred Thousand U. S Dollars (US$22,500,000.00) which we want to transfer
abroad with the assistance and co-operation of a foreign company/individual
to receive the said funds 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 to operate offshore account hence your importance in the whole
transaction.
This amount (US$22.5m) 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 got approval to remit by
Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by
filing in an application through the Justice Department 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 discuss on the modalities of
sharing with you. Your share of the entire sum will be 10%,while 5% will be
mapped out for taxation and miscellaneous expenses and the balance of 85%
would be shared among my colleaques and myself. 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 in
you and hope that you will not disappoint me.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. I am available on my
telephone numbers +27-78-564-5404 or my confidential E_mail Address above to
entertain any questions concerning the clarity of this transaction.
Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
Best Regards
WILLIAMS KADIATA
