YOUR KINDEST ATTENTION

RELATIONSHIP

I only got your contact details from the South Africa Exchange
Information On-line Service on my personal programmed search on the
internet for a reputable company or individual to assist me sincerely
& confidential which your information & profiles were very
satisfactory, so I decided to contact you immediately.

It is my great pleasure to write you this letter. Within the
Department of Minerals & Energy where I work as a Director of Audit
and Project Implementation, I have in my possession an overdue payment
in US funds. The said funds represent certain percentage of the total
contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign
contracting firm, which, I the official over-invoiced to the amount of
US$10.500, 000.00 (Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand US 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 relationship with
foreign governments and non-government agencies, we included our bills
for approvals with the Department of Finance and the South Africa
Reserve Bank (SARB). I am seeking your assistance to front as
beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since I am not allowed to operate
foreign accounts.

Details and change of beneficiary information upon application for
claim to reflect payment and approvals will be secured on behalf of
you/your Company. I have to propose that should you be willing to
assist me in this transaction your share as compensation will be
(35%), and the balance of (65%) will be for me.

The business is completely safe and secure, provided you treat it with
Utmost confidentiality. It does not matter whether you/your Company
does contract projects, as a transfer of powers will be secured in
favor of you/your Company. 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.

Your urgent response please. Thanks for your co-operation. Contact me
on this number Tel: +27-84-711-3252, Or Email Address:
