MR A.S.DUMISANI.
DEPARTMENT OF MINERALS AND ENERGY
PRETORIA, REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
Dear Sir,
I am Mr.Dumisani, Director of Project, South Africa
Department of Minerals & Energy. I am making this contact
with you based on the committee's need for an individual/company who is willing
to assist us with a solution to a money transfer.
In unfolding this proposal, I want to count on you, as a
respected and honest person to handle this transaction with
sincerity, trust and confidentiality. I have decided to
seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution
of the deal described 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 Minerals & Energy where I work as
a Director of Project and with the co-operation of two
other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue
payment bills totaling Twenty - Two Million, Five Hundred
Thousand U. S Dollars (US$22,500,000.00) which we want to
transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation of a
foreign company/individual to receive the said funds on our
behalf or a 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$22.5m) 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 got
approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any
foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an
application through the Justice Department 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 discuss on
the modalities of sharing with you. Your share of the
entire sum will be
US$5Million(22.2%), US$10.5Million(46.6%)for us and
US$7Million (31.1%) 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 specialization 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.I wait in anticipation of your fullest
co-operation. I am available on my confidential
telephone/fax lines above to entertain any questions
concerning the clarity of this transaction.
Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
Best Regards,
Mr.Dumisani.
