STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND URGENT

Dear Friend,

I am Dr. Peter Manalli a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am
a Director of Project Implementation with the South Africa Department
of Minerals and Energy. First and foremost, I apologize Using this
medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but
this is due to confidential and prompt access reposed on this medium.
Be informed that a member of the South Africa Export Promotion Council
(SAEPC) who was at the Government delegation to your country during a
trade exhibition gave your enviable credentials/particulars to me.

I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the
execution of the deal described below for the benefit of all parties
and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of
this transaction. Within the Department of Minerals and Energy where I
work as a Director and with the cooperation of four other top
officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling
Fourteen Million, Three Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($14,300,000.00)
which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation
of a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf
or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More
so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil
Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account
hence your importance in the whole transaction. The amount $14.3m
represents the balance of the total contract value on behalf of my
Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-
invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid
to the original contractor. Leaving the balance in the Tune of the
said amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by
Key tested Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any foreign bank account
you will provide by filling in an application through the Justice
Ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of Rights and
privileges of the former contractor to you. I have the authority of my
partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us
in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 30% of the
$14.3million, 60% for us and 10% for taxation and miscellaneous
expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you
treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentially. 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. Endeavour to contact me immediately through my email
address below or alternatively forward me a private telephone number i
can reach you for confidentiality reasons weather or not you are
interested in the deal. If you are not, it will enable me sort for
another foreign partner to carry out this deal I want to assure you
that my partners and myself are in a position to make the payment of
this claim possible provided you can give us a very strong Assurance
and Guarantee that our share will be secured and pleased endeavour to
treat this transaction with utmost confidentiality, because we will
not comprehend with any form to exposure as we are still in active
Government Services and remember once again that time is of the
essence in this business.

I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.

Yours faithfully,
Dr Peter Manalli.
