Can You.

From: "Dr. Zuma Kayama" <kayaz@...>
Date: 2003-08-31 10:48:54 UTC
List: ruby-talk #80686
From : Dr. Zuma Kayama.
Corporate Line: + 27 - 82 - 2213190
Confidential Line: + 873 - 762 - 534365
Confidential Fax: +  873 - 762 - 534366



I am Dr. Zuma Kayama, Director of Project, South Africa Department 
Mineral and Energy. I am making this contact with you based on the 
committee's need for an individual/company who is willing to assist us 
with a solution to a money transfer.

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.

In infolding this proposal, I want to count on you, as a respected and 
honest person to handle this transaction with sincerity, trust and
confidentiality.

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 and Energy where I work as Director 
of Project Implemention and with the cooperation of four other top 
officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling 
Twenty Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US
$28,500,000.) 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 $28.5m represents the balance of the total contract value 
executed on behalf of my Ministry 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 25% of the $28.5 million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and 
miscelleneous 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 through this email 
zumakayama@netscape.net 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 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 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.

I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.

Yours faithfully,
 
Dr. Zuma Kayama.
