Dear friend,
It is with pleasure, trust and confidence
that you will assist me.My name is Beny Modise, the
son of Joseph Modise, the former South African Defense
Minister, who died after a brief illness. During my
father's stay in government office, he was the head of
department contract awarding committee as a matter of
fact.
A contract was awarded to a foreign firm. The arms
deal, approved by South African Parliament, which
includes fighters-trainers and Gripen fighter's jets
from British-Swedish consortium Saab/BAE. The actual
contract was US $900,000,000 (nine hundred million)
dollars. The members of department of defense contract
awarding committee inflated the contract to US
$960,000,000 (nine hundred and sixty million) dollars,
as a result of over invoice.
After a years, the contract of US $60,000,000 was
given to the contract awarding committee as a kick
back base on over invoice. My father being the head of
the contract awarding committee came to possession of
US $20,000,000 dollars.
My family have deposited the fund in Accra - Ghana.
For security reasons. Please I request your alert for
maximum co-operation and trust by helping my family to
transfer the above fund to your country for
investment. Therefore, I should advise you not to
expose this fund to anybody for security reasons and
its confidential.
My family has worked out all modalities for smooth
transfer. But first of all, you have to assure me that
you will not reveal this fund to anybody, and will not
sit on my money. Further information will get on your
way when I receive your assured reply. I assure you
that this transaction is worth 100% risk free.
Please express your interest in this proposal, as
your urgent response is highly needed.
Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.
Yours sincerely,
Beny Modise.
(Modise family).
Thank You.
