Mr. Jeff Nkosi
Department of Minerals and Energy
Pretoria, South Africa.
Confidential E-mail: jnkosi@444.net
Hello,
I am Jeff Nkosi, a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an
Executive Accountant with the South Africa Department of Minerals and
Energy. Please accept my apology for using this medium to convey a
transaction /business of this magnitude, but this is due to the
confidentiality and prompt access reposed in this medium. After
giving much thought to writing to you, I decided to take the
initiative in seeking your co-operation in the execution of this deal
described hereunder of which I know will be beneficial to all parties
and hoping you will keep it VERY CONFIDENTIAL because of the nature
of the business AND FOR THE SAKE OF OUR POSITIONS.
Within the department of Minerals and Energy (where I work as a
director), and with the co-operation of four other top officials, we
have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Twenty-Two
Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars (US$22,500,000.00) which we
want to transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation of a
company/or an individual to receive the said funds via a reliable
Bank Account. Quite frankly, we are handicapped as the South African
Civil Service laws (Code of Conduct Bureau) strongly prohibits us
from owning/or operating a foreign
account hence your importance in this whole transaction.
This amount (US$22.5M) represents the balance of the total value of a
contract executed on behalf of my department by a foreign contracting
firm which we the officials (involved) deliberately over-invoiced.
Though the actual 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
Department 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 this transaction by way of providing the required account in
receiving these funds, your share of the entire sum will be
US$5Million(22.2%), US$10.5Million(46.6%) for us and US$7Million
(31.1%) will be used to settle taxation and other miscellaneous
expenses in the course of transferring the funds to your account. The
business itself is 100% foolproof and safe, as long as you maintain
utmost confidentiality, further more your area of specialization will
not be a hindrance to the successful completion of this transaction.
I am willing to repose my confidence in you and hope you will not
disappoint me.
Should you be willing to assist positively with a common goal,
endeavor to contact me immediately through my confidential tel./fax
numbers.
I want to assure you that my colleagues and I are in position to make
the payment of this claim possible provided that you can give us a
very concrete assurance of the safety of what is entitled to us.
Please, always treat this matter with utmost confidentiality, because
we will not comprehend any form of exposure as we are still in active
government service.
Time is of essence in this business, so kindly act fast. Note: I
advise that your contact with me should strictly be via my
confidential tel./fax numbers provided above, for purposes of privacy
and the successful achievement of our primary motive (i.e. successful
realization of the aim of this transaction without hitches).
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Jeff Nkosi
