CONFIDENTIAL MUTUAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Sir,
May I use this opportunity to introduce myself to you as Mr. Dan Mbalula,the
president of the youth league of the South Africa ruling party (ANC).I am
contacting you with the hope that we will establish a cordial business
relationship that will be beneficial to both parties. Though this idea sound
very strange to me to assist me achieve my aim since I want this transaction
to be very secret.
I know that I am taking great risk by doing this business with someone whom
I have had no previous relationship with but my mind is highly convinced
that you will not betray me at the successfully end of this business because
I have made a lot of consultations with my family spiritualist who gave me
the assurance to proceed with the arrangement. All demand from you is your
dedicated honesty and sincerity of purpose to enable me confide in you the
required trust necessary for the success of this transaction. I am doing
this transaction with you because of my political ambition to contest in the
next election here; therefore, I will like this transaction to be held in
high secrecy. I have to assure you here that this transaction is 100%
without risk. Please send to me your telephone/fax number to enable me send
to you my personnel details with personal picture.
As the president of ANC youth wing, I was made the chairman of the board in
change of internally screening companies for payment of their value added
tax (VAT) returns. I fortunately came across a foreign company that have
completed their business in South Africa valued at two hundred and fifty
million since 1997 and they have since then withdrew from the country
without claims their stipulated 14% VAT returns. This 14% VAT return due to
this company has been in the escrow account of our reserve bank since then
without any body putting claims to this fund.
As the chairman of this committee, all I need to do is to make you the
beneficiary of this fund once I have the go ahead from you since all the
files, documents are currently in my possession. I am doing this with the
full consent of the board secretary who is also the VAT returns lawyer hence
we have agreed that all the files related to this fund and the transaction
will be destroyed once the funds has been safely transferred to any account
that you will provide for us for this purpose.
Please if you are interested to be part of this venture, contact me
immediately through my secured email address at danthemba@hotmail.com.Plesae
should you for any reason consider yourself not fit for this transaction,
kindly destroy this message and never mention any party of it to any body.
Mr. Dan Mbalula
