MR. SMITH DEAN
Director Project Implementation
Anglo American Platinum South Africa

ATTENTION: THE PRESIDENT/C.E.O

Dear Sir/Madam,

STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

I am Mr. Smith Dean, Director Project Implementation with Anglo AmericanPlatinum in South Africa and a member of the Contract Tenders Board (CTB) ofthe above corporation.

Your esteemed address was reliably introduced to me at the South AfricanChamber of Commerce and Industry in my search for a reliable individual/companywho can handle a strictly confidential transaction, which involves the transferof a reasonable sum of money to a foreign account. The amount of money involvedis US$43, 000, 000, 00 (Forty Three Million United States Dollars) only.

My office is saddled with the responsibility of contract award,screening, categorization and prioritization of projects embarked upon by AngloAmerican Platinum South Africa as well as feasibility studies for selectedprojects and supervising the project consultants involved. A breakdown of thefiscal expenditure by this office as at the end of the last fiscal quarter of2015 indicates that Anglo American Platinum South Africa paid out a whoopingsum of US$936M (Nine Hundred And Thirty Six Million, United States Dollars) tosuccessful contract beneficiaries. The Anglo American Platinum South Africa isnow compiling the list of beneficiaries to be paid during the next batch whichwill take-off from this last fiscal quarter till second fiscal quarter of nextyear (2017).

The crux of this letter is that the finance/contract department of the AngloAmerican Platinum South Africa deliberately over-invoiced the contract value ofthe various contracts awarded. In the course of disbursements, this departmenthas been able to accumulate the sum of US$43, 000, 000.00 (Forty Three MillionUnited States Dollars) as the over-invoiced sum. This money is currently in asuspense account of the Anglo American Platinum South Africa account with theDebt Reconciliation Committee (DRC). We now seek to process the transfer thisfund officially as contract payment to you as a foreign contractor, who will befronting for us as the beneficiary of the fund. In this way we can facilitatethese funds into your nominated account for possible investment abroad. We arenot allowed as a matter of government policy to operate any foreign account totransfer this fund into.

Now is the optimum period to consummate this fund, following the directive ofPresident Republic of South Africa (Jacob Zuma) to all Departments andGovernment Parastatals to settle all outstanding debts owed to both local andforeign contractors. The President took this step to clear his regime frombeing a corrupt regime as the opposition parties have already branded hisregime. In my last meeting with the Officials involved, it was unanimouslyagreed that 40% of the total sum will be given to you, 50% will be for us while10% will be used to reimburse the expenses that will be incurred in theprocessing of this transfer by you and I after the deal is concluded.

I assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free as we have concluded everyarrangement to protect the interest of everyone involved, Likewise allmodalities for the successful transfer of this fund have been worked out withDepartment of Finance and the Financial institution to facilitate theremittance of this fund to your designated account within 120 hours after yourclaim has been approved.

However, I would want to believe that you are honest enough and will not raiseany misgiving attitude in any aspect of the transaction, more importantly, thatyou will keep this transaction very confidential so as not to tarnish theconfidence reposed on these officials by the Government of South Africa. Ifthis proposal is of interest to you, then kindly contact me via my work emailaddress: [email protected] first before we open oral communication. Pleasetreat this information as confidential.

Please treat this information as confidential.

Best Regards
Mr. Smith Dean
