We are top officials from South Africa in the Ministry of Minerals and Energy. Mlambo Thambo.
We are top officials from South Africa in the Ministry of Minerals and Energy, and by this letter I am representing and also acting on behalf of two of my senior colleagues (The Director General and the Group General Manager) whose mandate I have to contact a trusted and reliable person concerning this transaction of mutual benefit to all.
By this mandate given to me, we are in dire need of a foreign partner to assist us in the transfer/investment of US$10M (TEN MILLION, UNITED STATES DOLLARS). We are ready to go into an agreement with you, legally sub-contracting the contract entitlement to you or your company of the said funds, which arose from an over-invoiced contract that was executed for my Ministry.
The company that executed the contract has being duly paid and the contract commissioned leaving the sum of US$10MILLION floating in the escrow account of the Reserve Bank of South Africa ready for payment.
This, bearing in mind that our civil service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign companies or running foreign accounts while in Government service hence the need for an overseas partner.
We have agreed that the funds will be shared thus after it has been transferred into your account: (1) 25% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary and recipient of the fund. (2) 70% to us the Government officials (with which we wish to commence a lucrative business in conjunction with you). (3) 5% has been set aside as an abstract projection, (for reimbursement to both parties), for incidental expenses that may be incurred in the course of bringing this transaction to a successful conclusion.
All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth conclusion of the transaction within ten to fourteen working days of commencement after receipt of the following information From you: Your name, address, company details and activities, telephone and fax numbers. These information will enable us make applications and lodge claims to the concerned Ministries & agencies in favour of you or your company and it is pertinent to state here that this transaction is entirely based on trust as the telegraphic transfer is going to be made in your name or your company name.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using this email address.
Yours faithfully,
Mlambo Thambo.
