Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL
From: Accountant. JAMES MABUZA
Johannesburg South Africa
Tel: 27 736673527
Attention: Good Friend,
I am JAMES MABUZA (FCAA), the chief accountant of African Development bank
(ADB) I am making this contact with you based on the need for an individual
/ company who is willing to assist us with a solution to a money transfer.
First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you for a
transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality
and prompt access reposed on this medium. In unfolding this proposal, I want
to count on you, as a respected and honest person to handle this transaction
with sincerity, trust and confidentiality. I have decided to seek a
confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described
hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top
secret because of the nature of this transaction.
There is an account open in this bank in 1999 and till 2001 nobody has
operated on this account again after going through some old files in the
records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it
would be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. Smith B.
Andreas, a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger Gold Company, a Geologist by
profession and he died since 2000.No other person knows this account or
anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that this company does not know anything
about this account and the money involved is Twenty Million five hundred
thousand United States Dollars (US$ 20,500,000 Million). I want us to first
transfer US$ 10 Million from this money into your safe overseas account
before the rest.
We are seeking your assistance as a foreigner, since as civil servant we are
not allowed to operate foreign accounts. Should you be willing to assist in
this transaction your share as compensation will be US$5.125m (25%), while
my colleagues and I receive US$13.325m (65%) and the balance of US$2.5m
(10%) for miscellaneous expenses that may be incurred by either party.
The business is completely safe and secure, provided you treat it with
utmost confidentiality. It does not matter also your area of specialization
is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. We have
reposed confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us.
Kindly notify me by fax sending your secured telephone and fax numbers for
further details upon your acceptance of this proposal.
Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
Regards,
JAMES MABUZA
