STRICTLY PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL.
Mr. Alex Radabe.
Pretoria,
Republic of South Africa.
Dear Friend,
It is with my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my
colleagues. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you
in
execution of a deal hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you
will
keep it confidential because of the nature of the business.
Within the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources where I work as a Director
of Projects Implimentation, and with the co-operation of four other top
officials, we have in our possession, an overdue payment in US funds. The
said
funds represent certain percentage of the contract value executed on behalf
of
my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced
to the amount of US$26,000,000.00(twentysix Million Dollars).Though the
actual
contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess
balance unclaimed.
Since the present elected Government is determined to pay all debts owed
to
both local and foreign contractors, so as to maintain good relations with
foreign governments and non-governmental financial agencies. As a result
we
included our bills for approval with the co-
operation of some officials at the Department of Finance and the Reserve
Bank
of South Africa (RBSA).
We are seeking your assistance as the beneficiary of the unclaimed funds,
since
we are not allowed by code of conduct bureau to operate foreign accounts.It
does not matter whether or not your company does contract project of the
nature
described here. The assumption is that your company won the major contract
and
subcontracted it to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies
and firms
win major contracts and subcontract it to more specialised firms for execution.
This business itself is 100% safe, provided you treat it with utmost
confidentiality. I have reposed my confidence in you and I hope you will
not
disappoint us.I have the authority of my colleagues involved to propose
that
should you be willing to assist us in this transaction, your share as
compensation will be 20% while my colleagues and I recieve 70%, and the
balance
10% for taxes and all other miscelenous expenses incured.
Endeavour to contact me through my email address to indicate your willingness
to assist us. My colleagues and I are in the position to make the payment
of
this claim possible provided you can give us a strong assurance and guarantee
that our share will be secured and also bear in mind that we are still in
active government service and therefore the need for stringent confidentiality
all through the whole transaction.
Kindly notify me by email for further details upon your aceptance of this
proposal.
Regards,
Mr. Alex Radabe.
