Subject: LETS MAKE IT WORK




Goodday,I am Dr David Zuma , a native of Cape Town in
South Africa and I am a Director Project
Implementation with the South Africa Department of
Energy and Mineral Resources. First and foremost, I
apologized using
this medium to reach you for transaction/business of
this magnitude, but
this is due to confidentiality and prompt access
reposed on this medium. Be informed that a member of
the South Africa Export Promotion Council (SEPC) who
was at
the Government delegation to your country during a
trade exhibition
gave your enviable credentials/particulars to me. I
have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with
you in the execution of the deal
describe 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 Mineral & Energy Resources
where I work as an Director Project Implementation and
with the cooperation of four other top officials, we
have in our possession as overdue payment bills
totaling Fourteen million , Five Hundred Thousand U.
S.Dollars
(US$14,500,000.00) which we want to transfer abroad
with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign
company/individual to receive the said fund on our
behalf or
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$14.5m) 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 gotten approval to remit
by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank
account you will provide
by filing in an application through the Justice
Ministry 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
propose that should you
be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share
of the sum will
be 30% of the US$14.2 million, 60% for us and 10% for
taxation and
miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100%
safe, on your part
provided you
treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also
your area of
specalization 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. Endeavor to
contact me immediately through this
direct e-mail address , whether or not you are
interested in this deal. If you are not, it will
enable me contact other another Foreign partner with
recommendation to carry out this deal.I want to assure
you that myself
and my partners are in a position to make the payment
of this claim
possible provided you can give us a very strong
assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured
and Please remember to treat this matter as very
confidential matter; because we will not comprehend
with any form of exposure as we are still in active
Government Service and remember once again that time
is of the essence in this business.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. I
am available on
the E-mail address BELOW or my direct telephone and
fax number to
entertain any questions concerning the clarity of this
transaction and to
give more detailed information also.
PLS ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR RESPONSE VIA MY CONFIDENTIAL
EMAIL:drdzdz@zwallet.com

DIRECT PHONE: +871-762-604470
DIRECT FAX: +871-762-604471
Yours faithfully,
David Zuma(Ph.d)
