FROM Minister of Public Works
SOUTH AFRICA.
HON,Stella Sigcau, Ms
stellasigcaums@myway.com
MY DEAR GOOD FRIEND,
You may be surprise to recieve this mail from me since you do not know me
or seen my face as well, i saw your contact from the South Africa chambers
of commerce and industry hence decided to write to you.
After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your
assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US30.5M Thirty Million,Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only)First, let me start by introducing
myself as Mrs. Stella Sigcau, a mother of three children and the Minister
of Public Works in South African Government(17 June 1999) to date under
the auspices of the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI. You can view
my profile at my
website:www.info.gov.za/leaders/ministers/publworks.htm
THE PROPOSAL
After the swearing in ceremony making me the Minister of Public Works in
South African Government (17 June 1999) , my husband Mr Edelebe Sigcau died
on air crash while he was on an official trip to united state of America
/2001/US/11/12/newyork). Flight 587 which crashed into a residential area
near John F. Kennedy International Airport on November 12,2001 .After his
death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account which amounted
to the sum of US$30.5M with a South African bank which had her offshore
House in the CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA.
This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he executed
with the Government of South Africa. Though I assisted him in getting this
contract but I never knew that it was over-invoiced by him.
I am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate
on contracts awarded from 1990 to date.If they discover this money in his
bank account, they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in South
Africa and this will definetely affect my political career in Government.
I want your assistance in opening an account with CENTRAL BANK through my
Attorney so that this fund could be wired into your account directly without
any hitch. As soon as the fund gets to your account, you are expected to
move it immediately into another personal bank account in your country.I
will see to it that the account is not traced from South Africa. As soon
as you have confirmed the fund into your account, I will send my eldest
son with my Attorney to come to your country to discuss on business investments.
SHARING PERCENTAGE
For your assistance, I am offering you 20% of the principal sum which
amounts to US$6,100.000.00 (Six million One Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars Only) However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into
agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund.If you agree to my
terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email. Due to my sensitive
position in the South African Government, I would not WANT you to call me
on phone or send a fax to me. All correspondence must go to my alternative
email via:stellasigcaums@myway.com
If you want to speak with my Attorney, that is fine and okay by me. Hischambers
will be representing my interest at the CENTRAL BANK. All correspondence
must be made either to my Attorney Barrister F.R.WILLIAMS, of williams and
associates,or send me an email. I will also like you to give me your contact
address,telephone and fax to enable my Attorney call or reach you from time
to time.
Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality
if this transaction must succeed. YOU MUST NOT CALL ME! If you do not feel
comfortable with this transaction, do not hesitate to discontinue.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family.
