DR JOHNSON ZUMAH
DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND PROJECT,
CAPETOWN ELECTRICITY POWER AUTHORITY (C.E.P.A)
ADDERLY STREET CAPETOWN CITY RSA
PHONE +27839885219
ATTN: PRESIDENT/C.E.O.
BUSINESS PROPOSAL: TRANSFER OF US$ 25.5M (TWENTY-FIVE
MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS.)
First, I must solicit your trust and strictest confidence in this
transaction; this is by nature of the top-secret information I am about to divulge to you. You were introduced to us by a mutual acquaintance from the South Africa Chamber of Commerce, Foreign Trade Division, who does not only know of the nature of what I am about to introduce to you. He only knows that I have some funds to invest abroad, hence he recommended you, and I hope and believe in God that you are reliable and honest.
I am the Director of Engineering & Project of the Cape town Electricity
Power Authority (C.E.P.A) in cape town, Republic of South Africa. I am seeking your assistance to enable me transfer the sum of US$25,500,000.00 into your private company account for mutual benefits. This money come about as a result of a contract for the supply of two thousand, three hundred and sixty-seven computer unit, installation and the Y2K compliance turn-around maintenance executed on behalf of my ministry (C.E.P.A), in the year 2002.
This contract was officially assigned to be awarded and executed by two
foreign contractors one is from your country, at the tune of US$105,500,000.00, but in the course of my negotiation, I bargained with only one foreign contractor, a Bulgarian firm which now executed the contract at the cost of US$80,000,000.00. Thus leaving the remaining US$25.5m floating in the escrow account of the Alliance Security and Finance House (A.S.F.H) to the benefits of
me the unknown to the contractor and any other person in my Ministry. This contract has been satisfactorily executed and inspected as the Bulgarian firm is presently securing his payment from my Ministry.
It is however to this effect that I seek your maximum assistance and approval to present your company name alongside with the Bulgarian
contractor as the second foreign contractor to enable me transfer the
difference (US$25.5m) into your account for further investment depending on your advice. Hence the code of conduct of federal civil service does not allow us to operate foreign account.
On actualization of the transaction, the funds will be
shared thus: 20% of the money will go to you for
acting as the beneficiary of the funds. 10% for reimbursement to both parties for incidental expenses that may be incurred in the course
of the transaction for insurance phone bills,
documentation etc. and 70% to me
All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth
actualization of the transaction within fourteen working days of commencement after receipt of the following information by fax: your full name, company's name, contact Address, Phone/fax number.
If you are able to handle such amount of money with strict confidence feel free to reach me through the above phone number also send me
your private phone and fax number for easy communication and I
guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please note that this is a DEAL and confidentiality is of very great
importance for security reasons, and I believe in you that you are not
going to let me down when this money have been transferred into your account
Thanks in anticipation for your positive response and I look forward to
your soonest response.
Yours truly,
DR JOHNSON ZUMAH
DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND PROJECT]
