For your immediate attention,


First and foremost, I apologised using this medium to reach you for a
transaction of this magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality and prompt
access reposed on this medium.

With this, be informed that your contact was secured from a web directory and
we deemed it fit to seek a confidential cooperation 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 due of its sensitive nature.

Within the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) where I work as a Project
Officer and with the cooperation of four other top officials, we have in our
possession as overdue payment bills totalling Fourteen Million,Five Hundred
Thousand U. S. Dollars (US$14,500,000.00) which we want to transfer abroad with
assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said
fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such
funds.

Moreso, we are handicapped in the circumstances as the South African Civil
Service Code of Conduct does not allow civil servants like me to operate
offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction.


The amount (US$14.5m) represents the balance of the total contract value
executed on behalf of my department by a foreign contracting firm which we the
officials deliberately over-invoiced. Though, the actual contract cost (US$51m)
have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance (US$14.5m) in a
floating account of one of the offshore banks of the South Africa Reserve Bank.

So, since the government of my country is determined to pay every foreign
contractor all debts owed so as to maintain good relationship with foreign
government and non-governmental financial agencies such as World Bank and IMF,
therefore we have decided to include the oustanding bills (i.e. the US$14.5m)
for approvals with the cooperation of some officials from the Department of
Finance and the South Africa Reserve Bank.

We are therefore seeking your assistance by fronting you as the sub-contractor
and trustee. This we can do by legally swapping of names and changing of
beneficiary status and other forms of documentation upon application for claims
to reflect the payment and approvals to be secured on behalf of you. This
processes has been pre-arranged with the principal/legal trustee of the original
contractor and with the consent of the original contractor for smooth
completion.

It has been agreed amongst my colleagues that should be willing to assist us in
ensuring the completion of this transaction, we shall compensate you with Two
Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$2.5M) only out of the total
amount.

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. We have reposed our
confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us. Endeavour to EMAIL:
dthemba521@... to know your position and include your confidential
telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

Mike Lumide
