STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT
Dear Sir,
I am Mr. Biko Maktabom Tutu, a native of Cape Town in South Africa
and I am an Executive Accountant with the South Africa Department of
Mining & Natural Resources.
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.
Be informed that a member of the South Africa Export Promotion
Council (SEPC) who was at the Government delegation to your country
during a trade exhibition gave your enviable credentials/particulars
to me.
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.
Within the Department of Mining & Natural Resources where I work
as an Executive Accountant and with the cooperation of four other top
officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling
Twenty one Million, Five Hundred Thousand US. Dollars
($21,500,000.) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance
and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said
fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive
such funds.
More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa
Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore
account hence your importance in the whole
transaction.
This amount $21.5m represents the balance of the total contract value
executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which
we the officials 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 principles gotten
approval to remit by Key tested Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any
foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an application through
the Ministry of Justice here in South Africa for the transfer of rights
and privileges of the former contractor to you.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should
you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum
will be 30% of the $21.5 million, 60% for us and 10% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part
provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. 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 me.
Endeavor to contact me immediately through my e-mail:<biko_tutu@africamail.comto
confirm whether or not you are interested in this deal.
If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner
to carry out this deal. 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 our share
will be secured and please, remember to treat this matter very confidential,
because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as we are still
in active Government Service .
Once again, remember that time is of great essence in this transaction.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.B.M Tutu
