Dear friend,
I am Mr Philip Johnson, a native of cape town in south Africa and I am an Executive Accountant with the south Africa ministry of mineral resources and energy.
I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of a deal described here under for the benefit of all parties and I hope you we keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this transaction. Within the department of mining and natural resources where I work as an accountant and with the co-operation of four other top officials we have in our possession an over due payment bills totally twenty million five hundred thousand united state dollars ($20.5m) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation of a foreign company/individual to receive such funds, also we are handicapped in the circumstances as the south Africa civil code of conduct does not allow us to operate off-shore account hence your importance in the whole transaction.
This amount represent the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my department contraction firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original contractors, leaving the balances 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 you we provide by filling an application through the justice ministry here in south Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of former contractors to you.

I have the authority of my partners involved to proposed that, should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum we be 25% of the total sum, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and other expenses .I we like to inform you that the transaction of this deal is save there is nothing to fear about. Provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality on your part. Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction.

I have all my confidence and trust in you and I hope you we not disappoint me. I and my colleague on a year study leave here in Europe. Content me if you are in interested in this deal and also if you are not to enable me know my stand. I and my partners are in position to make the payment of this fund possible provided you can assure us the safety of our share.
Please remember to treat this matter confidentially because we are still in service and remember once again that time is important in this business. I wait in anticipation for your full co-operation. Accept my special regards.
Philip johnson. (Acct)
