Pretoria,
South Africa.

Sir,

It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on
behalf of my colleagues and I.Your information was given to me by a member of the South African Export Promotion Council (S.A.E.P.C),who was with the Black Economic Empowerment Commission (Government) delegation on a trip overseas during a bilateral
conference talk to encourage foreign investors.I have
decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you
in the execution of a deal hereunder for the benefit
of all parties, and hope you will keep it
confidential because of the nature of business.

Within the Department of Mining Resources where I work
as the Director of Project Implementation,with the
co-operation of two other officials,we have in
possession,an overdue payment in US funds.

The said funds represent certain percentage of the
contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a
foreign contracting firm,which we the officials
over-invoiced to the amount of US$25,500,000.00(Twenty
Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars).Though the actual contract cost has been
paid to the original contractor,leaving the excess
ballance unclaimed.

The Government of the Republic of South Africa
believes that private investment in general,and
foreign direct investment in particular,are the real
engines for sustainable economic development,for which
reason it has continued to encourage investments in
the key growth-oriented sector of Mining with sincere
determination to pay foreign contractors all debts
owed to them, so as to continue to enjoy close
relationship,and a mutually beneficial co-operation
with foreign governments and non-governmental
financial agencies.As a result we included our bills
for approvals with the co-operation of some offitials
at the Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of
South Africa(R.B.S.A).We are seeking your assistance
to be the beneficiary of the unclaimed funds,since we are not allowed by law to operate a foreign
account.Details and changing of beneficiary
information and other forms of documentation upon
application for claim to reflect the payment and
approvals will be secured on your company or your good
self.

I have the authority of my colleagues involved to
propose that,if you are willing to assist us in
this transaction your share as compensation will be
20% while my colleagues and i shall receive 70%, and
the ballance of 10% shall be used to reimburse all
expenditures,taxes and miscellaneous expenses so
incurred.

It does not matter whether or not your company does
contract projects of the 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 and firms of unrelated
fields win major contracts and subcontract same to
more specialized firms for execution.

This business itself is 100% safe,provided you treat
it with utmost confidentiality.Also your
specialization is not a hindrance to the successful
execution of this mutually beneficial transaction.I
repose confidence in you and hope that you will not
disappoint us.

Kindly notify me for futher details,upon your
acceptance of this proposal.

Regards,

Joseph Sekhoto
