I do envisage the surprise this email will bring especially coming from a complete stranger. How ever, let me assure you sincerely that the underlining intentions in this proposal are very genuine. This is a business transaction that will bring good fortunes to you and me, if well executed as your contact is courtesy of the CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRIES here.
INTRODUCTION: I am Mr. CRAIG FEILD, an auditor in the [Foreign Contract Review Committee] of the DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE in the REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA. I am 53 years old, married with three children. I am from the Province of KwaZulu-Natal. My official duties as an auditor include verification, investigation and recommendation of foreign contract payments amongst others
SUBJECT: During annual auditing in the year 2001, a multi-million dollar [US$225,000,000.00] contract payment was approved to a Jewish contractor for Housing Projects executed between 1996-2000 on behalf of the GOVERNMENT OF SOUTH AFRICA, in a project “HOME FOR ALL,” to provide shelter for the less privileged citizens who were victims of the apartheid regime in Soweto\Alexandra Communities.
This contract was completed as scheduled and the actual contract amount of US$200,000, 000.00 was paid to the Jewish Contractor as stipulated.
But my investigation revealed that this payment represents first installment payment of this project which shows that the project was [Inflated] over invoiced by the officials of the TENDER BOARD that approved and signed the contractual documents. Further inquiries into this contract show that the balance of US$25,000,000.00, which is the over invoiced amount has no beneficiary as the main Jewish Contractor has been paid off. More also the then TENDER BOARD that awarded this contract has been dissolved at the inception of the present regime of President TABO MBEKI.

Furthermore the RESERVE BANK will then forward “Payment Authority” to the Government payment Agency-NATIONAL DEPT RECONCILATION COMMITTEE [NDRC] based in Europe for the release of this fund as overdue contract payment into your account or by cash through EQUITY FINANCE AND SECURITY BV, IN AMSTERDAM THE NETHERLANDS.
CONDITIONALITIES: We will sign an agreement of mutual understanding on disbursement and investments. My Attorney will take care of that as I have resolved to offer you 20% of the total funds as Brokerage Commission, provided you assist in accormodating the fund as the beneficiary. I have also resolved to set aside 5% of the total amount to defray [reimburse] all expenses arising from this transaction. I will also arrange for my representative to travel to meet and work with you for the expected banking formalities or cash collection from the above mentioned company.
INVESTMENT PROPOSAL: I intend to invest on your candid advice in Business like:
1. REAL ESTATE [PROPERTY] 2. IMPORT EXPORT. 3. BUYING OF STOCK [BLUE CHIPS]
Kindly indicate your interest through my email( craig_feild@myway.com) And we will discuss on other relevant matters like Government incentives to foreign investors, interest rates and taxation policies in your country as soon as I receive your response.
