PRIVATE 
Dear sir/Madam, 

I am Ben Maluleke, 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 (SAEPC) 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 director and with the 
cooperation of four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills 
totaling Twenty-Seven Million, One Hundred Thousand united states dollars (US$27,100,000.00) 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 into a reliable company/individual account depending on your 
convenience. 

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 the whole transaction. This 
amount (US$27.1m) 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 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 30% of the US$27.1 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 secured tel/fax number whether or not you are interested in this deal. If 
you are not, it will enable me contact other foreign partner with recommendation 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. 

Kindly establish your response directly by telephone:+27- 83-3557-121,fax:+27-11-5076-933  or 
e-mail: benmaluleke@jmail.co.za, to the committee's representative whose name appears below. We 
wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
