STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
Compliment of the day, May I have the pleasure of introducing myself? I am Mr. John Frankel a senior staff and chairman of Tender Board Committee on the award of contracts in Department of Works and Housing here in South Africa. I got your contact E-mail address through the internet in my search to find a trustworthy person on whom I can repose confidence for colossal international money transaction.
My aim of sending this "business proposal" to you is to solicit for your assistance and co-operation to transfer some huge amount of fund into your account overseas. Therefore, this communication should be held in high confidence.
My colleague and I in the Department of Works & Housing wish to transfer into a safe and secured account overseas, the sum of twenty five MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$25.5M) which is over-invoiced amount from contracts we awarded to foreign contractors who have been duly paid on completion of their various contracts. This money right now is in a coded account in the Reserve Bank of South Africa.
