Dear Trustee,
I know this email will reach you as a surprise, but you need not to
worry as I’m using this as the only secured and confidential medium
available to seek for foreign assistance and partnership in a business
transaction which is of great benefit to both of us. It is with trust
that I wish to contact you on this matter concerning transfer of Fifty
One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
(US$51.500,000.00)
I am Mr Jonathan Khumalo ,a member of the Armaments Corporation of
South Africa (ARMSCOR) Contract Award Committee.
Some time ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm in South
Africa by my Corporation. The contract was deliberately over invoiced
to the tune of US$51.5m. The over-invoicing was a deal to benefit from
the project. The foreign contractor had completed the contract and had
been paid. I now want to transfer this money to an overseas bank
account. I assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free as I
have concluded every arrangement to protect the interest of everyone
involved, Likewise all modalities for the successful transfer of this
fund have been worked out with Ministry of finance and a commercial
bank here in South Africa to facilitate the remittance of this fund to
overseas bank account. For your assistance, you will be offered 30% of
the total sum as I receive your Positive response.
I will make a formal application for the transfer of the fund into
your overseas bank account. It does not matter whether your company or
not does a project of this 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 or firms of
unrelated fields win major contracts and subcontract to more
specialized firms for execution of such contracts. Do not feel it
strange about this business proposal, in Africa that is the means by
which big government officials get their money for future of their
families, any expenses incurred during this process will be refunded.
I wait for your response
Thanks
Mr Jonathan Khumalo
