Subject: Executive Request (Confidential Mail)
Good Day,
I want to apologize if this will interrupt your privacy. I need somebody I can rely on and trust with the confidence of our intention. I write to inform you of our desire to acquire estates, shares or landed properties in your country on behalf of other members of my Committee.
Considering our very strategic and influential position, we would want the transaction to be strictly as confidential as possible. The identity of the others involved will remain undisclosed at least for now, until the completion of the transaction.
South Africa's present Financial Policy does not favor us having large sums of money in our possession for now. Hence our desire to have an oversea agent. I have therefore been directed to inquire if you would agree to act as our oversea agent in order to actualize this transaction.
The deal in brief is that the funds with which to carry out our proposed investments in your country is presently in a coded account in the South Africa Reserve Bank and we need your assistance to transfer the funds to your Country or any safe account outside your country in a convenient
Bank account that will be provided by you before we can put the funds into use. For this you shall be considered to have executed a contract for the aforementioned Department of Water Affairs & Forestry. The contract sum of which runs into
US$8.5Million (Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) of which your share shall be 30% if you agree to be our overseas agent.
Your area of specializations does not matter in this transaction; all that is required of you is a safe account and your willingness to assist us acquires properties in your country. As soon as payment is effected and the amount mentioned above is successfully transferred into your account, we intend to use our own share in acquiring properties abroad. For
this too, you shall serve as our agent. It might interest you to note that, you have to reassure us in any way you can that will be capable in this regard, as we have heard that there are a lot of scams out there and we have lost a lot, as a result of seeking assistance from the wrong hands/partner. Last year, a similar transaction we made from Halliburton, USA to award a major DWAF contract at the Port Elizabeth Island, was carried out with one Fernandez Yu of Taiwan but after securing the payment approvals, and payment effected, Fernandez Yu changed his numbers and addresses, and was no where to be found on our getting to Taiwan. That was how we lost US$7.5Million. So this time around, I will be with you before the remittance is made into your provided account to avoid future occurrence and allow trust to play a minimal role until conclusion.
You are requested to communicate your acceptance of this proposal, via the numbers above after which we shall discuss in details the modalities for seeing this transaction through. If however, you are indisposed to assist, kindly destroy this letter in view of the confidentiality of the proposed transaction and interest of personalities involved. But, if this transaction is successful, l can assure that my partner will do his utmost best to secure a contract with DWAF for you, if you so desire in the nearest future.
Finally, we wish to reassure you that the process is hitch/risk free and your utmost confidentiality should be our priority right now. Pls get back on (ksaxma@inmail24.net) Should you be interested please send me your full names and current residential address, Direct Telephone and Fax Numbers.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Kane Saxma.
