DAER Sir



I HAVE SEEN THE SUPRISE THIS MAIL MIGHT HAVE BRING TO YOU.I GOT YOUR CONTACT
THROUGH A SEARCH, BUT I HAVE FIND IT DIFFICULTY TO DISCLOSED THIS
TRANSACTION TO YOU. I AM DR Kennedy Maloi, THE CO-ORDINATOR OF
CONTRACT AWARD AND REVIEW COMMITTEE (C.A.& R. C. )IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE, IN
REPUBLIC OF South AFRICA, SOMETIME AGO, A CONTRACT WAS AWARDED TO A FOREIGN
COMPANY BY MY COMMITTEE ON BEHALF OF GOVERNMENT,THE CONTRACT WAS OVER
INVOICED TO THE TUNE OF US$3. MILLION DOLLARS. THIS DEAL WAS DONE
DELIBERATELY, THE OVER INVOICING WAS A DEAL,AND IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN
BENEFIT FROM THE PROJECT, I PURPOSELY DID THIS WITHOUT THE CONCEPT OR
KNOWLEDGE OF ANY MENBERS HERE. AND MONEY ($3 MILLION)IS IN ESCROW ACCOUNT
(WITH M.O.U). NOW IS MY DESIRE TO PRESENT YOUR FOR THE TRANSFER OF THIS
MONEY WHICH IS PRESENTLY IN A ESCROW ACCOUNT
INTO AN OVERSEAS ACCOUNT WHICH I EXPECTED YOU TO PROVIDE FOR ME. YOUR
PLICATION LETTER, NAME OF THE ACCOUNT AND ACCOUNT NUMBER (WHICH I WILL GIVE
YOU LATER)THE
OTHER INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO MAKE FORMAL APPLICATIONS TO THE BANK AS A
MATTER AS PROCEDURE FOR THE RELEASE AND TRANSFER OF THE MONEY INTO
YOUR ACCOUNT.

SOMETIMES HERE,SOME BIG TRADING COMPANIES OR INDIVIDUALS OF UNRELATED FIELD
WIN MAJOR CONTRACTS AND SUB-CONTRACTS IT OUT TO MORE SPECIALIZED FIRMS
FOR EXECUTION, AND HAVE THEIR PERCENTAGE. LISTEN, IT DOES NOT MATTER
WHETHER OR NOT YOUR COMPANY OR YOU PERFORMED CONTRACT PROJECTS OF THE NATURE
DESCRIBED,IN THE DOCUMENT BUT ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE CONTRACT HAS BEEN WON,
SIGNED AND COMPLETELY.
PROVIDING THE ACCOUNT WHERE THE MONEY SHALL BE REMIT, YOU WILL BE ENTITLED
TO REDUCT $500,000.00 UNITED STATE DOLLARS AS YOURS IMMEDIATELY,AS YOUR
BENEFIT. AFTER YOU HAVE CONFIRMED THE ARRIVAL IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT,THE
REMAINING ONE WILL BE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AS I HAVE DECIDED TO RESIGNED
FROM PUBLIC SERVICE,WHILE $50,000.00 HAS BEEN MAPPED OUT FROM THE TOTAL SUM
TO COVER TAXATION IN YOUR COUNTRY (IF ANY)BUT IF THERE IS NO TAXATION, YOU
WILL BE ENTITLE WITH ADDITIONAL $15,000.00 DOLLARS.OPENING OF THE NEW
ACCOUNT, IF NOT ALREADY IN EXISTANCE WITH
BE ON MY EXPENSES.

I WOULD REQUIRE: THEREFORE, WHEN THE BUSINESS IS SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDED, I
SHALL THROUGH THE SAME CONNECTIONS TENDER MY RESIGNATION AND COME OVER
IMMEDIATELY TO MEET YOU AND JOIN A FULL TIME BUSINESS. PLEASE THIS MONEY IS
THE ONLY HOPE I HAVE,AT THE SAME TIME, AM STILL IN PUBLIC SERVICE, WE ARE
NOT ALLOW
TO OPERATE ON FOREIGN ACCOUNT. I CONTACTED YOU BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ALLOW TO
OPERATE ON FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHILE IN TOP CIVIL SERVICE, TO AVOILD SACK AND
DENIED FROM BENEFIT ENTITLEMENTS, AFTER MY RESIGNATION FROM OFFICE..

PLEASE EXPRESS YOUR READINESS WITH ME BEFORE I GIVE YOU THE BANK CONTACT
ADDRESS,ACCOUNT NAME AND NUMBER WHERE THE MONEY WAS DEPOSITED.SO THAT YOU
CONTACT THEM FOR THE RELEASE OF THIS FUND. IF YOU ARE NOT, IT WILL ENABLE ME
SCOUT FOR ANOTHER TO CARRY OUT THIS DEAL. IN MY NEXT MAIL AFTER YOUR
REPLY,WILL SEND YOU MY GOVERNMENT ISSUED WORKING ID CARD, MY INTERNATIONAL
