Good Day.

My name is MR.JAMES  THEBANE ZULU. I am a senior government official
in the Department of Public works and housing of the Republic of South
Africa and the Chairman of the board in charge of the contracts award
execution and supervision of all contracts in the Ministry of works
and Housing. In 2020, I personally monitored and Supervised the
awarded contracts for the supply of building materials and
construction of Ultra modern shopping malls, low cost housing units,
airports maintenance and Stadiums and hospitals /laboratories and
Medical Equipment’s for COVID-19 preparations in the Eastern Cape,
Western Cape, Natal and Gauteng Provinces here in South Africa.

My colleague and I are serving in the board deliberately inflated And
over invoiced the contract sum, leaving an excess of
US$89.500,000.00(Eighty Nine  Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States dollars). At the completion of the contract, the real contract
sum was paid to the original contractors, leaving the excess, which we
reported to the Government that it belonged to the sub-contractor that
handled part of
the original contract. But the company we Submitted as the beneficiary
was a non-existing foreign company, which was a purported attempt by
us to divert the money for our private use. I do not intend to mince
words with you, I have to tell you the truth; this is a deal but it is
100% risk-free and genuine because the contract has been perfectly and
genuinely executed and completed. It depends on whether you are
interested or not. Right now this amount is due for payment and is
floating in the treasury not attached to anyone/company. We are only
two people who know the origin of this fund. But we cannot claim it by
ourselves because we are civil servants therefore we are looking for a
trustworthy foreign company / individual whose name we can use to
claim the money for our mutual benefit.

This is strictly a business deal, but it is 100% risk-free and secure
because we will use our official positions to source all the necessary
approvals, official documents and certificates that will back up the
fund to reflect that you/your company genuinely executed and completed
the contract. All necessary arrangements have been put in place in all
the relevant departments for immediate approval of this payment.

For your co-operation, we have agreed to offer you 35% of the entire
amount on conclusion of the transaction while 65% will be for us.
Please if you are interested in this proposal, I want you to respond
immediately through my personal and telephone stated above for further
information and directives. This transaction is expected to be
completed within 14 working days and is highly confidential and
discreet.

In this timelines which I want to invest are Estate developer,
Construction company, Hospital, Hotel Management, Tourism, Import &
Export, Sports, Shopping mall, Agriculture & Transportation. Maybe in
other investment which you can introduce as my partner. Please do
endeavor to write me back on my  E-mail([email protected] ) for
more details. On receipt of your response, I will forward to you
further information which will give you a clearer overview of this
project.

Thank you for your co-operation. Your urgent reply is awaited.
Best Regards,

Your Sincerely,

MR.JAMES  THEBANE ZULU
