HELLO HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
USD22MILLION-BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP
I will begin by introducing myself to you as the Chief Accounting
Officer,Department of Energy and Mineral resources, Republic of South Africa
I have the privilege of having your name, courtesy of one of the
International Business Journals here, and I am writing to solicit your
sincere co-operation in order to redeem an investment interest currently
being held under TRUST with the DEPARTMENT of ENERGY and MINERAL RESOURCES.
The said investment, which is, now valued at USD22,000,000.00 MILLION was
originally purchased by MR.GARVIN MALUSI and leased in 1998 to LABROUTH
INVESTMENTS LIMITED.
At maturity of the contract in May 2000, several attempts have been made
without success, to contact Mr. GARVIN MALUSI or any of his relatives in
whose favour the cash value for the redeemed investment could be made.
As the Head of accounts in the Department, I have, with my Director General
(DG) carefully initiated the process of filing a claim for the money with
the hope of having the Fund Transferred abroad for investment on our behalf
and, we are hopeful you will agree with our intention to arrange payment of
the claim in your name.
We require that you let us prepare and file the claim for the money from
this Department indicating your name as the appointed beneficiary of the
FUND. Upon approval of the payment of this claim, you will Beeped,TWENTY TWO
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$22 Million),and since the money will be
paid directly into a bank account to be nominated by you, you will have the
responsibility to ensure that we receive our share of the money which I and
my colleague have decided will be 70% while you will keep 25% as your
personal commission, and 5% will be set aside for expensis that might arise
during the cause of transfer.
I have to assure you however, that we are to make the payment of the Fund
possible, provided you are ready to give us a very strong GUARANTEE that our
share of the fund will be secured in your Hands and that you would not
betray our trust in making the transfer of the Fund into your Bank account.
This is a very safe and risk-free involvement as it is not prone to any
Enquirer since we are all active partners and will not want to loose our
positions in Government and the Department.
Meanwhile I demand that you keep this transaction very Private and
confidential in view of our personal involvement.Full details of the
processes for the claim will be provided as soon as we receive your response
and acceptance to be part of this agreement.
I expect the immediate indication of your interest by e-mail.
Kindly contact me with the following data:
1. Your complete profile. 2. Your personal telephone and fax no for
confidentiality of this deal.
Best regards,
MR Mike Puma
