Greetings,
I trust you are well and staying safe.
I am Mr Harry Mashego communicating from Johannesburg, South Africa.
It is my wish to contact you on a very important confidential
partnership that needs immediate attention. I am looking for a
reliable business partner in order to receive funds which we shall
share and invest as would be agreed.
For introduction; I am representing a well-positioned government
ministry official in-charge of contracts awards department here in
South Africa. The funds in question accrued from foreign contracts
executed and paid for by the department. The actual contract cost has
been paid to the original contractor, leaving the over-invoiced amount
unclaimed which is what we want to move for oversea investments.
Also, your profession or business specialization does not matter with
regard to successful execution of this project as all we need is
a foreign national who we will present as beneficiary of the
outstanding amount and we will process the payment to his/her foreign
account. There is no risk whatsoever involved as it is a legitimate
deal that will meet all legal requirements.
Kindly send your response to me on ( [email protected] ) if you
are interested and willing to cooperate with me. Details on the actual
amount involved and how to achieve success within a reasonable time
period shall be unveiled once I receive your consent.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Harry Mashego
