Dear Friend,
It is indeed my pleasure to write this letter which I believe will interest you. I owe our contact to trade department email lists. I work at the Ministry of Minerals and Energy here in South Africa (SAME) and have the mandate of two of my senior colleagues to search discreetly and diligently for a foreign partner that could assist us concerning a business matter which will be mutually beneficial. We require your assistance in concluding a transaction which involves diamonds originating from Sierra Leone. These diamonds were brought to us by a colleague from Sierra Leone. As they are band from selling such white diamonds by international law. As officials of the ministry we will use you to sell these diamonds to my government and claim that you mined them locally. We will buy a mining license here in your company name and using this legitimately to apply for payment from our government as the South African mining bill stipulates that diamonds mined locally must be sold through the government. Your full cooperation is essential in providing us with details (company) which will be used in applying for sale and subsequent payment. We are unable to proceed alone with this transaction, because the civil service code of conduct laws strictly prohibits us from engaging (openly) in private business or operating any foreign account, hence my search for a foreigner whose company and account we can use to claim payment of the money. We are in summary, proposing to use your details to purchase a company and proceed for the claims. Please note that these diamonds are fully legitimate as mining and prospecting licenses were issued by government and so are very legal. Please note that this transaction is free of legal fallout and we shall abide strictly to all the legal procedures as contained in our international laws in transferring the funds. I ask that you keep this communication strictly confidential as the two senior partners involved are very highly placed government functionaries and would not like to be exposed. Please go through this letter carefully and if you are interested in assisting us, kindly notify me urgently via my email address as time is of the essence in this transaction. Upon your acceptance to assist us, I shall provide you with more detailed information on procedures and also negotiate your percentage with you for your assistance. Thank you and God Bless as I await your urgent response, My Sincere Regards, Dr. Betrand Beko.
