Attn: President / CEO
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT.

Before I go further I will like to introduce myself, I am
Hon. JAMES KHUMALO, a native of Cape Town in South Africa
and I am an Executive Accountant with the South Africa
Department of Minerals & Energy. First and foremost, I
apologiz! ed 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 & Energy where I work as
an Executive Accountant, I have in my possession as overdue
payment bills totaling Twenty Six Million Five Hundred
Thousand U. S. Dollars ($26,500,000.00) which I want to
transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation
of a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on
my behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to
receive such funds. More so, I am 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 US$26.5m 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 I have in
principles gotten approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer
(T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by
filling 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 to propose that should you be willing
to assist me i! n the transaction, your share of the sum
will be 35% of the US$26.5 million, 60% for me and 5% for
taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is
100% safe and risk free, 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 my above
Telephone or my e-mail address, 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 I am position to make the payment
of this claim possible provided you can give me a very
strong assurance and guarantee that my share will be
secured and plea! se remember to treat this matter as very
confidential matter, because we will not comprehend with
any form of exposure as am 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.

Yours faithfully,
JAMES KHUMALO
