Dear Sir/Madam,

2010 Fifa world cup hosting committee , I apologized using this medium to
reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude. Be informed that I
got your particulars from a member of the South Africa Export Promotion
Council (SAEPC) who was at the Government delegation to your country
during a trade exhibition. I have decided to seek a confidential

the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it confidential because
of the nature of this transaction.
you must be aware now that my country south africa won the bid to host the
world cup by 2010,perior to this bid my committee was mandated to lobby
the members of board of Federation International Football Association
(FIFA) on selection of the country to host the world cup,the bidding was
intensive but at the end we got the hosting right.My committee was given
the sum of $29 million dollars to lobby the members of the FIFA ruling
body to make sure that we win the hosting right. Considering the gain that
comes with the hosting right,South Africa's economy will receive a massive
direct boost from hosting the 2010 World Cup.
Financial impact report for South Africa's World Cup bid committee shows
that the 2010 World Cup will pump R21.3-billion into South Africa's
economy,and creating anestimated 159000 new jobs. with the help the
living legend of our time86-year-oldNobel Peace Prize winner Dr.Nelson
Mandela who made an emotive case forSouth Africa,we got the bid without
spending all the money,i and my commitee members saw this as a God sent
opportunity to secure our future and that of our family there for,
l was mandated by other committee members to look for a way to move the
remaining money to a safe place with the help of a foreigner who we can
trust and is ready to assistus to move the funds considering the fact
that we are still members of the bid/project commitee.
we have in our possession the sum $21millon since we spent just $8million
for lobbying. we are ready to give you 20% for all your assistance,me and
my coleague will keep 80% lf you are willing,kindly reply to my letter and
further directive will be given to you. Bearing in mind that
confidentiality is of great essence so is time,i will await your
response.Am presently in Europe to conclude this transaction.
