Subject: ATT:PARTNERSHIP.
Attn:From:Dr Mbeki Theo.
The South Africa economy has witnessed a steady growth since the end of
Aparthied. Within the Ministry of Minerals and Energy where I worked as
director of Auditing and Project Implementation, Mining and Quarrying alone
contributes 12.3% GDP(R25.9Billion), Gold made up R19.9Billion of the yearly
export while Base metals and other mineral products contribute R6.7Billion
and R5.0Billion respectively. This figures excludes Diamond, which is quoted
seperately.
The Government have continously strive to improve and maintain good relationship
with foreign governments and non governmental financial agencies by ensuring
payments for all debts owed foreign contractors, Infact I have been on several
government sponsored trade delegation overseas to improve and attract foreign
investments to South Africa.
I write to solicit your partnership in a matter I believe will be of mutual
benefit to us. This would require your trust and capability to work according
to instructions. I represent a caucus in South Africa who need a foreign
partner to assist in the receipt and investment of US$ 27, 500, 000.00 (
Twenty Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). The key
issues are the transfer and the subsequent investment of the said sum. We
are ready to go into an agreement with you regarding your percentage in
this transaction.
For your information, 20% of the sum total shall be given to you for your
assistance while, 5% will be set aside for any form of expenses incurred
by both parties.
It does not matter whether or not you own a company , we shall guide you
on what to do. The basis will be that a major company won a contract and
subcontracted it to you. More often, big trading companies and firms of
unrelated fields win contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms
for execution.
We shall follow strictly all the legal procedures entailed in our laws and
international laws in transfering the funds to you. The source of the fund
is legitimate and authoritative, our caucus extends from my Ministry (Mines
and Energy) to the Ministry of Finance.
Please be informed that under the South African Government monetary policy,
strategic positioned government officials are not allowed to operate or
own a bank account overseas, hence our need for a foreign partner.
We pray you take the essence of this letter in strict confidence and
kindly notify me by return mail upon your acceptance of this.
Best regards
Dr Mbeki Theo.
