STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT

I am Mr.Andrew Buthelezi Mbeki a native of Cape Town in South Africa and 
the director of project implementation with the South Africa Department of Minerals & Natural Resources. 
First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you for a 
transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described Hereunder for the  benefit of all parties  and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this transaction.

Within the Department of Minerals & Natural Resources where I work 
as a Director and with the cooperation of four other top officials, 
we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Eight  
Million, Five hundred Thousand US. Dollars (US$8.500.000.) which 
we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of 
a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our
behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such 
funds. More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the 
South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to 
operate offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction.

This amount $8.5m 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 cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said 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 filing in an application through the Ministry of Justice 
here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you.

I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should 
you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the 
sum will be discussed. The business itself is 100% safe, on your 
part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. 
Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful 
execution of this transaction. Endeavor to contact me immediately 
through my confidential fax No.or email address above to confirm 
whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, 
it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out 
this deal. I want to assure you that my partners and myself 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 very confidential  because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as we are still in active Government Service .Once again, remember that time is of great essence in this transaction.
 Positive response should be accompanied with your telephone and fax number so i can reach you immediately with more informations.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.

Yours faithfully,
Andrew Buthelezi.
