ATTN,MY DEAR FRIEND
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT
It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on behalf of myself and
my colleagues.Your particulars were given to me by a member of the South
Africa Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) who was at the Government Delegation
to your country during a trade exhibition. I have decided to seek a confidential
cooperation with you in the execution of the deal described here under for
the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as top secret because
of the nature of this business.
We are five-man members appointed by the Government of South Africa, under
the Department of Mineral and Energy, we have been vested with the authority
to appraise and approve contracts according to the priority of the Government
of South Africa. By virtue of our official positions in the (DME), we have
in our possession as over due payment bills totallingTwenty-five million
five hundred thousand (US$25.5M) which we want to transfer abroad (offshore
account) with your assistance and cooperation in order to receive the contract
funds, the contract was originally awarded to and completed by a British
Company.The South Africa civil service code of conduct does not permit us
to own offshore accounts hence your assistance.
As a matter of fact, all machineries have been put in place to ensure a
safe and risk-free success but in your part you should maintain a high level
of strict confidentiality in this matter since we are civil servants still
in active service.
To ensure this success, we will have to front you /your company as a sub-contractor
to the original contractor, a British firm who performed the contract and
has since been paid her entitlements.
We have had discussions with the Principal Trustee (Local Representative)
of this firm and he his willing to swear an affidavit of Oath as regards
to the transfer of this fund to our beneficiary (you).With this affidavit,
we can now obtain the subsequent power of attorney which will bestow the
Rights and Privileges of this fund to the new beneficiary.
Since the contract was executed in the year 2001, we will have to register
your nominated company with our department (department of mineral and energy),
incorporate it at the corporate affairs commission backdating the certificates
to suit the year the contract was executed. We are going through these processes
for the purpose of legalizing this transaction so that when the fund gets
into your account it cannot be seen as been from drug or terrorist related
funds as well not against any of your laws or ours, not even when the fund
had already been successfully disbursed to you.
Once the paper work is completed and the approval gotten for the payment
of the fund, your papers (file) will be forwarded to the South African Reserve
Bank via the Contract Review and Payment Committee (CRPC) from where payment
will be effected by Key Tested Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) and you will
be contacted accordingly.
To initialize the transaction you are to fill an Indemnity Application Form
and fax back to me for us to go to the department of justice to swear an
Affidavit of Oath that will transfer all the rights and privileges of the
former contractor to you as the new beneficiary.
We intend arriving at your place with the relevant Original papers/documents
within 72 hours as soon as we receive notification from you that the fund
has been remitted into your nominated bank account.
My colleagues and I would require your personal guarantee concerning the
safety /availability of our share on demand when the fund is credited to
your nominated account and advise us accordingly on high yielding investment
portfolio in your country. Note that if you follow my instructions religiously,
we will conclude this transaction within the next five (5) bank working
days.
Furnish me immediately you confidential fax and phone number.
Thank you once again and God Bless
Regards,
DR.DIVINE JOHN KABELO.
