Attn: Confidant,


I am contacting you after making official enquiries at the foreign trade office of the Chambers of Commerce here in Johannesburg, South Africa. I haven’t disclosed the nature of my intention to anyone due to the sensitive and confidential nature of the project involved which is my need for assistance in profiling some investment funds and transfer of said funds to your country.

I must plead for your confidence and confidentiality and if it so happens that you are unable to assist in this projects I would crave your indulgence and ask that you do not divulge this to any other third party and ignore this email. I am constrained to issue more details about this mutually beneficial financial project until I get your positive response by email.

The fund in question $40,000,000.00 (Forty Million USD) accrued from over-inflated contract executed by foreign contractors through our connections and the over invoiced amount is waiting to be remitted from a commercial bank here in South Africa. By virtue of my position as a senior civil servant I cannot acquire this money in my name due to the fact that I am bound by the Civil Service Code of Ethics which bars me from operating bank accounts outside of our shores. On the other hand it is not safe to keep the funds here due to security reasons; hence my need to source for an overseas silent partner to facilitate the transfer of these funds for our mutual benefit.

My proposal is that after you receive the funds, it would be shared as follows: 40% to you as commission for your co-operation and assistance in facilitating the transfer, while the remaining 60% belongs to me. You will be free to take out your commission immediately after the money is credited to your account in your country. Since our objective is to invest the money in a foreign country, it would be appreciated if you could also help us with advice and direction on investing into profitable ventures in your country.

What we need to do is give you an approval from the ministry and you will email the approval to the paying bank to facilitate the processing and transfer of the contract funds into any of your nominated bank accounts. If you are interested and capable, I request you forward your personal details to my private email address (siyaabongakhumalo@gmail.com) to enable me contact you for further discussion. I would also request that you send me your most confidential phone number for further communication too.

Respectfully,


Mr. Siyabonga Khumalo
Program Implementation Committee.
