I am Dr. Dan Holomisa, a Native of Cape Town in South Africa. I am an Executive Accountant at the South African Department of Mining & Energy Resources. First and foremost, I apologize using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude; however this is due to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. Be informed that a member of the South African Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) who was at the Government delegation in your country during the trade exhibition gave your enviable credentials/particulars to me. I have decided to seek confidential co-operation from you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties involved and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this transaction. Within the Department of Mining & Energy Resources where I am employed as a director and with the co-operation of four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Twenty Million, five Hundred Thousand united states dollars (US$20,500,000.00) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation of a foreign company/individual to receive the stated amount on our behalf into a reliable company/individual account depending on your convenience. More so, we are handicapped in circumstances, as the South African Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore accounts hence your importance in this whole transaction. This amount (US$20.5m) represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract costs have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in tune of the above mentioned amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by Key Tested Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filling in an application through the Justice Ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and priviledges. I have the authority of the partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 30% of the US$20.5 million, 60% for us and 10% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe on your part, provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality. Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. We have reposed our confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us. Endeavor to contact me immediately through my e-mail address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or fax, whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me contact another foreign partner with recommendation to carry out this deal. I want to assure you that my partners and I are in a position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give us a very strong assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured and Please remember to treat this matter as a very confidential matter because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as we are still in active Government Service and remember once again that time is of the essence in this business. Your kind co-operation in this regard is what we are soliciting for. Yours faithfully, Dr Dan Holomisa
