Subject: Kindly treat this information confidentially.
My name is Alex Thabo, and I head the Contracts Portfolio Committee at
a top government ministry. I am contacting you to share this
confidential deal with the best hope that we can cooperate together
for our mutual benefit. The government ministry where I work, is
currently profiling and processing payments to all their foreign
contractors in the current year. I want to take advantage of this rare
opportunity to add your profile to our ministry’s payroll database,
for profiling and addition as one of their foreign contractors so that
you can stand as a beneficiary to receive a contract payment to the
value of 50Million$-USD.
I have the authority as the head of Contracts Portfolio Committee in
the ministry to lodge-in your profile for addition as one of our
contractors and beneficiary of payment which will be approved by the
ministry and its appointed paying bank. This will officially place you
as beneficiary of a contract payment. Once approved, our ministry will
then pay you 50Million$-USD as a foreign contractor, by allocating
funds to their appointed paying bank.
After the contract payment is approved on your name, and the transfer
is completed to your account, we will then share the money together.
You will ensure that I receive 50% of the total amount while you
retain the other 50% of the total amount to yourself. There are no
risks of any unsuccessful attempt.
If you are capable of handling this deal with me,
please contact me as a matter of urgency by email:

Yours,
Mr Alex Thabo
