On behalf of my Partner and I, I write this letter with great pleasure. Your information were given to me by a member of the South African Export Promotion Council (SAEPC) who was with the New Partnership For Africa Development (NEPAD) delegation on a trip to North America during a bilateral conference talk to encourage foreign investors. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in execution of a business transaction hereunder for the benefit of all parties.
In the past 2 years, I have employed very diligent bureaucratic means to divorce US$ 75,00,000 (Seventy Five Million U. S.Dollars) from the external affairs operation of the Federal Government of my country - in Saudi Arabia and Angola. My strategic position in the Government of my country and my relationship with corresponding key officials in the Governments of Saudi Arabia and Angola has afforded me the required Intergovernmental funds transfer connections as well as the know-how that will ensure the success of an operation of this size.
For our safety, I have structured the transfer of the US$ 75,000,000.00 to conform to the highest standard of International Banking Regulations and Financial Laws, Conversely, I require strictly, a foreign company duly registered and verifiable as having conformed to the basic operating and equity standards in its area of domicile, to receive the US$ 75,000,000.00
Your role, in the above regard, will be to act as the beneficiary of the funds in question, as my official portfolio precludes me from legal association with this money. You must however, note that this transfer will be guided by certain express provisions designed to ensure that your receipt of the above stated sum does not place me at a disadvantage or undermine my ability to receive my portion of the US$ 75,000,000.00. Firstly, the remittance of the money into your nominated account will be subject to Condition Precedent. That is, the crediting of your nominated account with the above stated funds will be conditional and subject to a post dated credit confirmation date which you will comply. The postdating will allow my nominee (My Attorney) and I adequate time to arrive in your country to set up the proper fund receipt mechanism for our share of the US$ 75,000,000.00
I employ you to acknowledge this offer as a once in a life time opportunity for us.For your role in this transaction,you will be entitled to 20% of the entire sum amounting to Twenty Five Million United State Dollars (25,000,000.00 USD).
Finally, I am constrained by time in the execution of the above stated transfer, therefore your immediate response in concession to the nature,requirement and conditions for the successful completion of this transfer,will be highly appreciated. At which time too, I will be more than delighted to illuminate whatever areas seem unclear to you in the entire process.Do aknowledge the receipt of the email via email: bensonmakelele@netscape.com
I await your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr Benson Makelele
