STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND
URGENT
I am
Mothobi Zuma Cedar,
a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an Executive Director with a
South African Government ministry. I am also the Secretary of the Tenders
Committee set up by the government to look into contracts under the Department
of Minerals and Energy.
We got your contact from a close source and I was mandated to seek your
confidential co-operation in the execution of the project I am about to
describe. First, I must let you know the major reason for this project. This
project will be of great benefit to all parties involved and hope you will keep
it as a top secret because of the nature of this transaction.
Within the Department of Minerals and Energy, we (me and four of my
colleagues) discovered and we have in our possession as overdue payment
totaling Fourteen million,
five hundred thousand US dollars (US$14.5M)
which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a
foreign company/individual to receive the said fund. More so, we are
handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code
of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore accounts hence your
relevance in the whole transaction. Also
we cannot access the funds because indigenous companies cannot carry out
contracts of this magnitude.
This amount US$14.5M represents the balance of the total contract value executed
on behalf of this Department by a foreign contracting firm, which was over-invoiced
deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original
contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have in
principle gotten approval to remit by key-tested telegraphic transfer (K.T.T.)
to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing an application through
the Justice Ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and
privileges of the former contractor to you.
I have the authority of my partners to propose the following:
SHOULD YOU BE WILLING
to assist us in this transaction, your share of the sum will be 25% of the total
sum, 65% for us and 10% for taxation and miscellaneous Expenses incurred. This
is after all expenses have been refunded and taxes have been paid. The transaction
itself is 100%-SAFE for all involved. This is possible if on your part you treat
it as confidential and with the utmost secrecy it deserves. Please note that your
area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this
transaction. Hope that you will not disappoint us. I want to assure you that my
partners and myself are in a position to make the payment of this claim possible
provided you can give us a very strong assurance and guarantee that the funds
will be secure. Please remember to treat this matter as very confidential,
because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as we are still in
active government service and will want to retire honorably.
DO FURNISH ME WITH YOUR CONTACT PHONE,
FAX NUMBER SO THAT WE CAN PROGRESS
FURTHER.
I wait in anticipation of your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
Mothobi Zuma Cedar (Dr)
