Dear Sir/Madam.
May I use this opportunity introducing to you a business preposition! My Name is MR. ROWLAND DESMOND DUBE, Director of Project Implementation, South Africa Ministry of Mines & Natural Resources.
First and foremost, I do have to apologize using this medium to contact you in this business. It is due to the prompt access reposed on the medium. Before unfolding this proposal, it is pertinent to let you know that I am scared due to different scams and abuses associated with international business worldwide, as various business crimes have been blacklisted in the media. Consequently, I am now being very skeptical in contacting or accepting people as partner in this type of high magnitude business. However, having perceived no doubt about your character, I am zealous in relating details of this business transaction to you through this medium as show below. And I do not only count on you as a honest and trustworthy person, but also to give this business top priority, by considering the importance and realization of the transaction.
As mentioned above, counting on you as a respected and honest person, I guess you would be ready; and also competent enough to handle this transaction with utmost sincerity and trust. I have decided to seek your confidence and co-operation in the execution of this deal described hereunder because it is a very sensitive and prolific, which virtually deserve business experience.
During the committee previous over-hauling and auditing of the Ministry (Mining and Natural resources) account, where I serve as the Director of Project Implementation, we discovered unclaimed contract sum of Fourteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars in the ministry escrow account. When we discovered this fund, we decided to carry out other secret investigation in details about its source. It was during this proper finding, we discovered that the funds resulted from a contract that was long ago executed by a foreign contractor, Mr. Clifford Anderson, and while he was yet to claim the contract entitlements from the Ministry, he was reported dead on a plane crash when he visited his home country.
Ever since then nobody as a relative or friend to late Mr. Clifford Anderson has come forward to honoured any of the invitations made by those Government Officials who were serving in the Ministry during the dispensation when the Contract was awarded and executed, in order to claim the fund. Presently, all those government officials who were in charged of the contract execution had been scrapped out from service as a result of some financial mismanagement. Consequently there is no other person that knows anything about the contract and its entitlement that is still in active service, except I and my committee members who are in the same department. At this moment, the fund is only just floating in the ministry's escrow account without bearing (unclaimed). And in accordance with the South Africa Contractual Law, if contract entitlement is left unclaimed within a stipulated time, it will therefore be forfeited.
In this circumstance, we are sourcing for God fearing, honest and a reliable person who we can trust and use as our frontier to claim the fund from the escrow account of the ministry by acting as the relative/ representative to late Mr. Clifford Anderson. We have made all the concrete arrangement on how the fund can be transferred to your bank account without any possible implications from the government of my country and that of your country too. This is because we have the principle access to all the necessary documentation /approval, which would legalize the transaction for the remittance of the Fund by Key Tested Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any foreign bank account that you will provide for this business.
I am also mandated by my partners in this business to propose to you that, your share in the business will be Twenty percent of the Fourteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars. But after we must have transferred the funds into your bank account, Five percent will be deducted from the total amount for our general refreshment right there in your country, for the successful conclusion of the transaction, and to settle any expenses that may be incurred individually or collectively before we can finally disburse the balance amount according to the arranged percentage.
Endeavour to contact me immediately through my email, and you can also send to me your Telephone or fax for further correspondence if you are interested and ready to front for us in this deal. This will enable me know whether to source for another foreign partner who will be interested.
I wait in anticipation of your positive response.
Best regards,
- Mr. Rowland D.Dube
