STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT.
I am Mr, PATRICK FOSTER a native of Cape Town in
South Africa and I am an Executive Accountant with
the South Africa DEPARTMENT OF MINERAL RESOURCES AND ENERGY
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 Mining & Natural Resources
where I work as an Executive Accountant and with the
cooperation of four other top officials, we have in
our possession as overdue payment bills totaling
Twenty - One Million, Five Hundred Thousand U. S.
Dollars ($21,500,000.) 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 $21.5m 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 Justice Ministry 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 25% of the $21.5
million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses. 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. I have reposed my
confidence in you and hope that you will not
disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately my
on my e-mail address .
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 as 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.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
NOTE:YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS MAIL SHOULD BE SENT TO

Yours faithfully,
PATRICK FOSTER
