STRICTLY PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL

Sir,
It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. Your information
were given to me by a member of the South African Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) who
was with the Government delegation on a trip to your Country during a bilateral conference
talk to
encourage foreign investors. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in
execution of a deal hereunder for the benefit of all parties, and hope you will keep it
confidential
because of the nature of this business.
Within the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources where I work as a Director of Project
Implementation, and with co-operation of four other top officials, we have in our
possession, an overdue payment in US funds. The said funds represent certain
percentage of the contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting
firm, which we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$20,500,000.00 ( Twenty
Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Though the actual contract cost has been
paid to the
original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed.
Since the present elected Government is determined to pay foreign contractors all debts
owed, so as to maintain good relations with foreign
governments and non-governmental financial agencies. As a result we included ours bills
for approvals with the co-operation of some officials at the
Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of South Africa (RBSA). We are seeking
your assistance as the beneficiary of the unclaimed funds,
since we are not allowed to operate a foreign account.
I have the authority of my colleagues involved to propose that, should you be willing to
assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be
20% while my colleagues and I receive 70%, and the balance of 10% for taxes and
miscellaneous expenses incurred.
It does not matter whether or not your company does contract projects of the nature
described here. The assumption is that your company won the
major contract and subcontracted it to other companies. More often than not, big trading
companies and firms of unrelated fields wins major
contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution.
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. Endeavor to
contact me immediately through my above USA efax
number or my e-mail address, to indicate 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 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 to
our successful execution of this transaction. I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-
operation.
This business itself is 100% safe, provided you treat it with utmost 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 us.
Kindly notify me by fax for further details, upon your acceptance of this proposal.
Regards,
Dr. Jimmy Mutungi
