Hello,

 

With great pleasure I write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. I got your information from a member of the South African Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) who was with the Government delegation on a trip to overseas country for bilateral conference talks to encourage foreign investors. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal here under for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this business.

 

In the Department of Minerals & Energy where I work as a Director of Audit and Project Implementation and with the co-operation of three other top officials, we have in our possession an overdue payment funds. The said fund represent certain percentage of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$28.500,000.00 (Twenty Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed.

 

Since the present Government is determined to pay all foreign contractor's debts owned in order to maintain good relationship with foreign governments and non-governmental agencies. We intend to include our bills for approvals with the Department of Finance and the Contracts Award and Payments Committee.

So we are seeking your assistance to front as beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate foreign accounts. Details and change of beneficiary information upon application for claim to reflect payment and approvals will be secured on behalf of you/your company.

 

I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be so negotiated and agreed upon by both parties, before further details will change hands to enhance our primary objective.

 

The mode of sharing after a successful transfer of the money into your account, shall be 70% to my colleagues and I, for the role you will be expected to play in this deal, we have agreed to give you 25% of the total sum and 5% for the expenses we are going to encounter by the two parties at the course of this transaction. The business is completely safe and secure, provided you treat it with up most confidentiality. It does not matter whether you/your company does contract projects as a transfer of powers will be secured in favor of you/your company to settle any legality. Also, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction.

 

I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us. I expect your urgent response to enable us conclude this transaction urgently without any hitch. Kindly notify me via my email for further details upon your acceptance of this proposal with email account above.

 

Thanks for your co-operation.

Regards,

Mr. James Dube.

Dear Friend,

 

I know that this will be a surprising message to youas we have not meet

medical treatment, I have spent much money through my only uncle

claiming that he want to help my critical IL-health condition while using my

money for himself.He has even bribed the doctor to tell me that I have

only about a few months to live to seeing if i have another money to

bring out for him to take of which he can still bribe to kill me.I was

never generous, and only focused on my business as that was the only

thing I cared for and i did all this because of my inability to bear a

child that is why my uncle want me dead so that he will take all my

belongings as i have no brother nor sister.Because of my being impotent i

adopted a female child as icannot born and i cannot live alone.I do not

trust my the man any more to die here and live the little adopted girl

straunded, as he seem not to be happy with me and her. He has sworded not

to allow her live so that he can easily inbound all my belongings

immediately i die. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly and i cannot

do things myself any more i will like you to do me a favor and i don't

want my uncle to know about this development till i live the country.

I strongly believe that our God almighty can still change my IL-health

condition.I need your urgent response so that we can make arrangement

for me and my daughter to come over to meet you in your country for good

treatment before anything happens to me here.I have a fixed deposit

account which no one knows about and i saved this funds for the purpose

of using it at my old age since i have no child before this adoption. I

believe that with this funds you can change this my sickness by

arranging a specialist for adequate treatment in your kind control their in

your country because with God all things are possible.

On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the Next Of Kin since nobody is coming for the fund again. The Banking ethics here Does not allow such money to stay more Than 11 years, because the money will be recalled to the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund after

this period. In view of this I got your contact through the internet when I was making a Research for a foreigner that I will use in this great opportunity because I don't want the money to be Recalled to Our Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.

 

I am offering you 40% of the total sum If you agree to execute this transaction with me and the rest 60% will be For me.

 

The reason for a Foreigner in the Business is for the factthat the deceased man was a foreigner and it is Not authorized by the law guiding our Bank for a citizen of this country to Make such claim.

 

This is the reason while the request of you as a foreigner is necessary to Apply for the release and transfer of the fund smoothly into your reliable Bank account. If you are really Sure of Your integrity, trustworthy and confidentiality, and accept not to cheat or disappoint me after this
