ATTENTION SIR: Request For Business Partnership. With great pleasure, I write to solicit for your assistance in a matter that can be of mutual benefit to us. I only pray that you read through carefully and respond as promptly as possible. Precisely, on the 25th of May 2000, the Ministry of Minerals and Energy in South Africa where I work as a Director of Auditing & Project Implementation, received Presidential irrevocable circular Order requesting the Ministry to compile and forward the list of all past Foreign Contractors, whose contract payments are pending since the period of the immediate past regime of Dr. Nelson Mandela and the present regime. The purpose of this exercise was for the present South African elected government to pay foreign contractors all debts owed, so as to maintain good relationship with other foreign Governments and non-Governmental financial agencies. In light of the above, my colleagues and I, duly assigned with the duty to compile this list of the past contractors, decided to include a non-existing Company name with a bill of US$29.6, with other Company names and their respective bills for payment approvals. Our intended plan is to create the impression that (Guilder Mining SA Pty) which is the non-existing Company also carried out contractual works of supply to the Ministry as well as others. With the cooperation of Top Government officials in the Ministry and two senior colleagues of mine in the Ministry, I was therefore assigned to contact a trusted and reliable foreign based businessman, furnish him with the appropriate documents, in laying claim to this $29.6Million being payment for contract work. Payment shall then be transferred upon approval to a safe account as would be provided by you. In other words, if you accept to be our partner then you shall be considered, given the pertinent documentations to have been awarded a contract already been executed by you for which your Company shall be paid the sum of US$29.6Million. Please be informed that with the South African Government monetary policy, Government officials / employees are not allowed to operate or own bank accounts abroad hence our decision to seek a foreign partner. I also have the authority of my colleagues involved to negotiate your share and benefit of the US$29.6M after a successful transfer into your account. For further information, please contact us via the email address: patrickamadi(a)mail.com Thanks for your anticipated cooperation. Regards, Engr.
