Dear friend,
I am contacting you to front as a co-owner for and
beneficiary of funds (US$25,000,000.00) due for an
executed contract here in South Africa. I am currently
a high-ranking government official in the ruling
cabinet of President Thabo Mbeki (South Africa). I am
a mother of two children.
This fund are a result of the over-invoiced proceeds
of a contract I helped a South African based company
secure and is yet to be paid out by the Reserve Bank
of South Africa. This funds emanated as a result of an
over-invoiced contract which Sentech (Pty) Ltd., a
communications company executed with the Government of
South Africa. I am afraid that the government of South
Africa might start to investigate on contracts awarded
from 2000 to date. If they discover this money yet
unclaimed with my name linked to it, the government
will confiscate the money and this will definitely
affect my political career in Government.
I want your assistance to front as a co-owner of this
company (SENTECH [PTY] LTD) to facilitate the release
of the funds. I will introduce a very good attorney to
assist us with the transfer process without any hitch
but he will not be told my interest in the transaction
as I play a very sensitive role in my government. As
the contract was executed in my present government
department, be rest assured that I will use my
position to approve the immediate release of the
entitlement. As soon as the funds is release to your
name, you are expected to move it immediately into
your personal bank account in your country. As soon as
you have confirmed receipt of the funds into your
account, I will arrange to meet with you. If you agree
to my proposal, please endeavor to send me an urgent
reply to; dr.ivy.matsepe2000.k.ro
Due to my sensitive position in the South African
Government, I would not want you to phone or fax me
for now. The lawyer I will recommend to assist us will
be representing our interest at the Reserve Bank of
South Africa and all necessary quarters. All future
correspondence must be made either to the attorney or
myself.
I am reposing huge trust on you regardless of your
being a total stranger. Upon your reply, we shall
discuss your percentage for your assistance.
Because of my sensitive position as serving government
official, I will only give you more details of myself
when we proceed further and I am sure of your
sincerity.
Thank you.
Dr. Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri
Honesty and transparency, they are my best work tools
