ATTN:SIR,

I am contacting you after making official enquiries at the foreign trade
office of the Chambers of Commerce here in Johannesburg, South Africa. I
haven’t disclosed the nature of my intention to anyone due to the
sensitive and confidential nature of the project involved which is my
need for assistance in profiling some investment funds and transfer of
said funds to your country.

I must plead for your confidence and confidentiality and if it so
happens that you are unable to assist in this projects I would crave
your indulgence and ask that you do not divulge this to any other third
party and ignore this email. I am constrained to issue more details
about this mutually beneficial financial project until I get your
positive response by email.

The fund in question $40,000,000.00 (Forty Million USD) accrued from
over-inflated contract executed by foreign contractors through our
connections and the over invoiced amount is waiting to be remitted from
a commercial bank here in South Africa. By virtue of my position as a
senior civil servant I cannot acquire this money in my name due to the
fact that I am bound by the Civil Service Code of Ethics which bars me
from operating bank accounts outside of our shores. On the other hand it
is not safe to keep the funds here due to security reasons; hence my
need to source for an overseas silent partner to facilitate the transfer
of these funds for our mutual benefit.

My proposal is that after you receive the funds, it would be shared as
follows: 30% to you as commission for your co-operation and assistance
in facilitating the transfer, while the remaining 65% belongs to me. You
will be free to take out your commission immediately after the money is
credited to your account in your country. Since our objective is to
invest the money in a foreign country, it would be appreciated if you
could also help us with advice and direction on investing into
profitable ventures in your country.

What we need to do is give you an approval from the ministry and you
will email the approval to the paying bank to facilitate the processing
and transfer of the contract funds into any of your nominated bank
accounts. If you are interested and capable, I request you forward your
personal details to enable me contact you for further discussion. I
would also request that you send me your most confidential phone number
for further communication too.

Respectfully,
Mr. ThembaMthembu
