MR. NICOLAS CUSACK
DEPARTMENT OF MINERALS AND ENERGY,
PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on
behalf of my colleagues. Your information was given to me
by a member of the South African Export Promotion Council
(SAEPC) who was with the Federal Government delegation on a
trip to your country for a bilateral conference talk to
encourage foreign investors.
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
confidential because of the nature of this business.
Within the Department of Minerals an Energy where I work as
a Director of Audit and Project Implementation and with the
co-operation of two other top officials, we have in our
possession as overdue payment in US funds.
The said funds represent certain percentage of the total
contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a
foreign contracting firm which we the officials
over-invoiced to the amount of US$18.500,000.00<Eighteen
Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars>. Though the
actual contract cost has been paid to the original
contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed.
Since the present elected Government is determined to pay
foreign contractors all debts owed so as to maintain good
relationship with foreign government and non-government
agencies, we include our bills for approvals with the
Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of South Africa
<RBSA>. We are seeking your assistance to front as
beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not
allowed to operate foreign accounts.Details and change of
beneficiary information upon application for claim to
reflect payment and approvals will be secured on behalf of
you/your company.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose
that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction
your share as compensation will be US$5.55m (30%)of the
entire sum,while my colleagues and I receive US$11.1m (60%)
and the balance of US$1.85m (10%) for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses incurred.
The business itself is 100% safe and secure, provided you
treat it with utmost confidentiality.It does not matter
whether you/your company does contract projects as a
transfer of powers will be secured in favour of you/your
company. 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.
Kindly notify me at( nicolascusack@slucia.com ) for further
details upon your acceptance of this proposal.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Regards,
Mr. Nicolas Cusack.
