Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled
"Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for
my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner
or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly
come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of
money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

Tel: 27 83 511 4244
Attention: President / C.E.O
I am
Engineer Victor Simon, a director of Project Management with the South African
Ministry of Minerals and Energy Recourses. I am making this contact with you
based on the committee's need for an individual/ company who is willing to
assist us with a s
olution to money transfer. First and foremost, I
apologize using this medium to reach you for a transaction / business of this
magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on
this medium. In enfolding this proposal, I want to c
ount on you, as a
respected and honest person to handle this transaction with sincerity and
trust.
I have decided to seek co-operation from you in the execution
of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties involved and
hope you will keep it as a secret because of the nature of this transaction.
Within the department of Minerals and Energy Recourses where I am employed as
a director of project management and with the co-operation of two other top
officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Thirty
Eight million, five hundred thousand U.S Dollars (U.S $38,500,000.00) which we
want to transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation of a foreign
company/individual to receive the said funds on our behalf or a reliable
foreign non-company account to receive such funds.
We are handicapped
in circumstances, as we are still in active government service and more so the
South African Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate off-sure accounts
hence your importance in this transaction. This amount (U.S$38.5m) represents
t
he balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my
Department by aforeign contracting firm, which we, the officials over invoiced
deliberately. Though the actual contract costs have been paid to the original
contractor, leaving the balance in tune of the said amount which we have in
principles got approval to remit by
Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any
foreign Bank account you will provide by filling in the application through
the Justice department
here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and
privileges of the former contractor to you. I have the authority of the
parties involved to discuss modalities of sharing with you.
Your share
of the entire sum U.S$38.5 Million will be (20%), U.S$7.7million (75%)
(U.S$28,875 Million) for us and U.S$1.925million (5%) for taxation and
miscellaneous
expenses. The disbursement pattern still remain as
agreed
percentage if taxation in your country takes a toll of the
total
sum.
The business itself has a minimal risk factor on your
part
provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also,
your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of
this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will
not disappoint me. I wait in a
nticipation for your fullest co-operation.
Please respond through my secured e-mail address:( victorsimon@webmail.co.za ) for
any questions concerning the clarity on this transaction. Kindly notify me by
e-mail, your secured telephone and fax number for further details upon your
acceptance of this proposal, this will enable me to call and fax all details
for your understanding before we commerce. Thank you in anticipation for your
co-operation.
Best regards,
Engr. Victor
Simon. |
