CONTRACT REVIEW PANEL
FEDERAL TASK FORCE OFFICE
RANBOURG SOUTH AFRICA
Attention,
INVESTMENT/PARTNERSHIP RELATIONSHIP
First, I must solicit your strict confidence in this transaction. We
aremaking this contact with you based on reliable information
available to us, courtsey of the Internet Business Index concerning your reputable Person(s)/organisation. Thus, we are convinced that you would be able to provide us with a solution to a funds transaction of
US$36,400,000.00[Thirty Six Million, Four Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars].
SOURCE: During the last democratic regime here in South Africa,there
were series of contracts executed by a consortium of ABB Lumus, J.G.C.
Corporation of Japan, Bouygues Offshore and a joint venture of
Spiebatignoles and Dresser GmbH of Germany in favour of Pipelines and
Products Marketing Company[P.P.M.C] a subsidiary of the South African Department Energy/Petroleum Corporation[S.A.E.P.C], among which were:
1] The expansion and maintenance of pipeline network from Onne Main
Station to Escravos Depot for crude oil and downstream products
distribution and subsequent evacuation - US$370,000,000.00.
2] Turn Around Maintenance[TAM] of the Ranbourg Guateng , and Durban
Refineries - US$200,000,000.00.
3] Construction of new storage tanks for the Petroleum Products[Depot]
and flushing/calibration of the soweto/Cape Axial Station -
US$94,000,000.00.
The original value of these contracts was deliberately over - invoiced
to a sum of US$36,400,000.00[Thirty Six Million, Four Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars]. The present democratic government of President Thabo Mbeki, has constituted a Contract Review Panel[CRP], to evaluate and vet these contracts awarded in the last democratic era. As members of this panel we have identified these over-invoiced contract sums floating in the Reserve Bank of South Africa[R.B.S.A].
Our investigation reveals, that during the last democratic era,
government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts
which were grossly over-invoiced in the various ministries. However, by
virtue of our position as civil servants,we are prohibited by the Conduct
Bureau[Civil Service Laws] from opening or operating foreign accounts.
Also, as members of this panel, we cannot acquire these funds in our
names. My colleagues in this panel have therefore mandated me to look
for and Offshore partner into whose account these funds[totalling
US$36,400,000.00] can be remitted. Hence we are sending you this mail.
Needless to say, the trust reposed in you at this juncture is enormous,
we have agreed amongst ourselves to offer you 25% of the transfered
sum while 5% shall be set aside for incidental expenses incured during the
course of the transaction by both parties. It is our intention therefore,
having your undersatnding and co-operation to invest our 70% share of these
funds in importation of agricultural and oil prospecting equipment to the
sub -Saharan Africa, as it will be virtually impossible to retrieve our
share in cash.
Modalities have been worked out at the highest levels of the Federal
Ministry of Finance, Reserve Bank of South Africa[R.B.S.A]. and the
Presidential Task Force on Contract Payments for the immediate
remittance of the above stated funds within 10-15 working days from
the date of receipt of the following information by email - your bank
name and address, account number, your telephone and fax numbers.
Please contact me immediately you receive this mail, thus signifying
your capability and willingness to enable me give you additional
details on
our proposed modus-operandi of getting these funds to you 100% risk -
free.
You must however NOTE that this transaction is subject to above stated
terms and conditions, on our conviction of your transparent honesty,
diligence and that you must accord this transaction utmost
confidentiality and
secrecy.
Again we look forward to doing business with you and solicit your
utmost confidentiality in this transaction.
My Regards,
Dr. Zuma F.Jacobs (Ph.D)
