FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION.
It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my
colleagues. I got your information from a personal search in the internet
business index. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with
you and I hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this
business. Within the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources where I
work as a Director of Project Implementation, and with co-operation of
four other top officials, we have in our possession, an overdue payment in
US funds. The said funds represent certain percentage of the contract
value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm,
which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$14,600,000.00
(Fourteen Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).

Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor,
leaving the excess balance unclaimed. Since the present elected Government
is determined to pay foreign contractors all debts owed, so as to maintain
good relations with foreign governments and non-governmental financial
agencies. As a result we included ours bills for approvals with the
co-operation of some officials at the Department of Finance and the
Reserve Bank of South Africa (RBSA). We are seeking your assistance as the
beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate a
foreign account. I have the authority of my colleagues involved to propose
that, should you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as
compensation will be 25% while my colleagues and I receive 70%, and the
balance of 5% for taxes and miscellaneous expenses incurred.

It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of
the nature described here. The assumption is that your company won the
major contract and subcontracted it to other companies. More often than
not, big trading companies and firms of unrelated fields wins major
contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution.

I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint
me. Endeavor to contact me immediately through my above stated e-mail
address above to indicate whether or not you are interested in this deal.
I want to assure you that my partners and I 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. It is important
that you treat this matter with utmost CONFIDENTIALITY as any form of
exposure will negatively affect us since we are still in active Government
Service.

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. Kindly notify me by email for
further details, upon your acceptance of this proposal.

Regards,
Dr. Francis Dante
