Subject: Get Back to Me....
Dear Sir,
I am Mr.Chris Motombi, the director and coordinator of the Finance Contract Department of Minerals and Energy with South Africa Government. The crux of this letter is that the finance / contract department of the DME deliberately over-inflated the contract values of various contracts awarded. In the course of disbursement, I was able to track down the sum of US$25 Million as the over invoiced sum. This money is now floating in the DME domiciliary account with the South African Reserve Bank (SARB).
I want to quickly transfer this fund to a safe nominated foreign account for possible investment abroad. We are not allowed as a matter of government policy to operate any foreign account because of our status as civil / public servants. Hence the need to solicit for a partner abroad to enable me transfer this money into your bank account abroad. Upon your acceptance of this proposal and eventual completion, the sharing will be as thus:
45% for you as the account owner
55% for me
I would be coming over to your country when the money is finally transferred into your designated bank, and also, I will be relying on your advise as regards investment of my share of the money. Be informed that this transaction is risk free.
Please, get back to me as soon as you can via email: [email protected] for more details or delete this email message if you are not interested in my proposal.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Motombi
