Subject: Do Get Back To Me
I am making this contact with you in good faith, I have decided to contact
you for confidential, urgent and rewarding joint business. My name is Mr.
Elvis Thuli, a solicitor.
Six years ago I stood for a foreign Client/Contractor who bided for a
contract to supply Gold mining equipment to the Department of Mineral and
Energy (DME), Republic of South Africa.
The contract was well executed and the total amount involved was
$22.5Million. Part payment of ($12 Million) has been paid to my client at
the time. As his representative, ever since I have been negotiating the
release of the balance of $10.5Million.
Recently, DME has allocated funds for payment/settlement of all outstanding
contract payment but unfortunately my client has passed away and unable to
claim the fund, based on this, I would like to present/recommend you as a
business associate/benefactor to my late client so the funds will be paid to
your favor.
If you can handle this transaction for our joint benefit, please get back to
me so that I can give you more details on this matter, as what is required
now is to register you as the Benefactor so that the fund will be
transferred into your designated bank account.
I have all the title documents to the fund, which I can transfer to you to
enable you have access to the funds. Be assured that this is risk-free and
legitimate. Please advise me on your position immediately and take note
that I want this kept very confidential.
If it is okay by you, I advice you get back to me ASAP. You are also
expected to forward your telephone number for further communication.
Yours faithfully,
Elvis Thuli
