Attention,
My name is Mr. PAUL ZUMA., an Accountant with Ministry of Finance. I got yo=
ur
contact through the World Trade business journal, and wish to express my=20
willingness to transfer an overdue contract sum of US$7M, 000,000.00 to you=
r
company's account, through the Reserve Bank of South Africa.
SUBJECT: After due consideration, I have fully agreed to privately contact =
you for
this transaction. I am intending to retire from government services to priv=
ate
business. I have decided to deal with a neutral person like you because of =
the
nature of the transaction as I will equally be happy to arrange with you on=
terms of
trade and possible transfer of the funds needed for the investment into you=
r
company's account or personal account.
These funds were incurred as a kick-backs of lifting platinum products by t=
he
Ministry of
Natural Resources. This was a ground plot by some of the key staff of=A0 th=
is ministry
for their selfish interest. It was so unfortunate that they were removed fr=
om office
resulting from the change of Government and policies, which did not favor t=
heir
continuous stay in the office. This money (US$7M) is now floating in the Mi=
nistry of
Finance as a redundant fund waiting to be claimed. Because of our new Gover=
nment
policy on Civil Services Commisssion, we are not allowed to own a company o=
r operate
a foreign bank account. Hence I am soliciting for your assistance to enable=
me to
transfer this fund to your company's account or personal account.
To enable me start the process and remittance of the fund into your bank ac=
count
successfully , I need the following information from=A0 you ;
1. Your full name, address, private telephone / fax number.
2. The receiving account details and the address of the bank you shall prov=
ide.
3. Photocopy of your international passport, your data page.
Note that as soon as I receive these information it will be forwarded to th=
e
appropriate quarters for final processing and approvals. With the modalitie=
s I have
worked out, it makes it possible for you to act as a contractor who worked =
under my
ministry and now waiting to receive his payment. When satisfied by the agen=
cies,
your bank account shall be credited within 72 banking hours.
This transfer is risk free as I have done all the underground works locally=
for the
smooth transfer of the fund into your bank account as I stated above.=20
Furthermore, should you be interested, I need you to assure me that you sha=
ll work
on my arrangement. You shall be rewarded with 25% of the total sum for your=
honest
assistance and co-operation, 5% for all type of expense that might be incur=
red
during the course of this transaction and the balance of 70% shall remain f=
or me and
my colleagues involved in this project. You can contact me on the above e-m=
ail
address and my private mobile phone as stated above so we can discuss furth=
er.
Finally, considering my position in the government, please I need you to ke=
ep this
strictly confidential in all totality. Feel free to ask any question you mi=
ght deem
necessary. Thank you in anticipation of your immediate response.
