within the department of minerals and energy where i work as a director

amount of us $ 29 , 200 , 000 . 00 ( twenty - nine million two hundred thousand us 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
agencies , we included our bills for approvals with the department of finance and the
reserve bank of south africa ( rbsa ) . we are seeking your assistance to front as the
beneficiary of the unclaimed funds , since we are not allowed to operate foreign accounts .
details and change of beneficiary information upon application for claim to reflect payment and
approvals will be secured on behalf of you / your company .
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 us $ 7 . 3 m ( 25 % ) while my colleagues and i receive
us $ 18 . 98 m ( 65 % ) and the balance of us $ 2 . 92 m ( 10 % ) for taxes and miscellaneous expenses incurred .
this business is completely safe and secure , provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality .
it does notmatter whether you / your company does contract projects , as a transfer of
powers will be secured in favour of you / your company . also , your 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 .
