STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT
I am Dr. Themba Biko, Director of Project
Implementation 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 your enviable
credentials/particulars were given to me by a member
of the South Africa Export Promotion Council (SEPC)
who was at the Government delegation to your country
during a trade exhibition. 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 a Director of Project Implementation
and with the co-operation of three other top
officials, we have in our possession as overdue
payment bills totaling Twenty - Five Million United
States Dollars (US$25,000,000.00) which we want to
transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation
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 (US$25m) 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
approvals to remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to
any foreign bank account you will provide by filing in
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 involved to
propose that should you be willing to assist us in the
transaction, your share of the sum will be 25% of the
US$25 million, 70% for us and 5% 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. Endeavour to contact me immediately
through my above confidential email or tel / fax number,
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 myself and my partners 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 as very
confidential matter, because we will not comprehend
with any form of exposure as we are still in active
Government Service and remember once again that time
is of the essence in this business.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
You can contact me with the above email or tel/fax number.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Themba Biko
