REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
First, I must solicit your strict confidence in this transaction. This is by
virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential. We are top officials of
the Republic of Namibia Contract Review Panel who are interested in
importation of goods into our country with funds amounting to
US$35,500,000.00(Thirty five Million five hundred United States Dollars)
which are presently held in suspense with the regulatory Bank of my country.
Our duties include evaluation, vetting approvals for payment for contract
executed for and on behalf of my country by foreign firms, by virtue of our
position in Government, we were able to procure this amount by means of over
invoicing series of contracts that were awarded out to a conglomerate of
foreign firms for the construction of Silicon mines and smelter complex.
These contracts were with intent over invoiced to the tune of
US$35,500,000.00(Thirty five Million five hundred United States Dollars) to
enable my committee benefit from the projects. This over invoiced amount
has been tied to a particular aspect of the contract that has been
satisfactorily executed and inspected as the firms are presently securing
payment from my Ministry, where our Board is in-charge of all foreign
contract payment approval and recommendation to the paying bank.
As a civil servant still in active government service, We are forbidden by
law to operate an account outside the shores of Namibia. Hence this message
to you seeking your assistance so as to enable me present your
private/company account details as a beneficiary of contractual claims
alongside that of the other contractors, to enable us transfer the
difference of US$35,500,000.00 (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) into an account that will be nominated by you.
On actualization, the fund will be disbursed as stated below:
1. 20% to be allocated to you
2. 80% due us.
All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for a smooth
actualization of the transaction within the next few working days of
commencement. For further details as to the workability of this
transaction, please reach me as soon as possible for further clarification.
Please, call me on receipt of this mail onTel: +31 617 648 224 or send an
email to me on josepkawa@yahoo.com
Kindly expedite action, as we are behind schedule, to enable us embrace
this transfer in the first batch which would constitute the first quarter
payments for the 2005 fiscal year.
Thank you while I await your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely,
Joseph Kawa.
