DEAR SIR,

BUSINESS INTRODUCTION.

WE ARE THE CONTRACT TENDERS BOARD, FOR CONTRACT AWARD/PAYMENT APPROVALS IN THE NATIONAL ELECTRICITY REGULATOR (NER) SOUTH AFRICA. OUR DUTIES INCLUDE EVALUATION, VETTING, APPROVAL FOR PAYMENT OF CONTRACT JOBS DONE FOR NER, ETC.

ON THE 14TH OF JUNE, 2001 THE COMMITTEE AWARDED A CONTRACT OF $250 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS TO THE CONSORTIUM OF ARRUMMUS, J.G.C. CORPORATION OF JAPAN, BOUYGUES OFFSHORE AND A JOINT VENTURE OF  SPIEBATIGNOLES  AND  FOUGUEROLLE,  FOR  AN  ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT AND CONSTRUCTION IN SOUTH AFRICA.

BUT MY COLLEAGUES AND I DECIDED TO OVER-INFLATE THE CONTRACT SUM TO THE TUNE OF $262.5M USD WITH THE INTENTION OF SHARING THE REMAINING $12.5 MILLION AMONG OURSELVES BEFORE SUBMITTING THE FINAL TENDER TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR APPROVAL. THE GOVERNMENT  HAS SINCE APPROVED THE AMOUNT OF $262.5 MILLION FOR US AS THE CONTRACT SUM NOW THAT THE CONTRACTS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, BUT SINCE THESE COMPANIES ARE ENTITLED TO $250 MILLION, WE INTEND TO TRANSFER THE REMAINING $12.5 MILLION U.S DOLLARS ABROAD INTO ANY SAFE AND RELIABLE ACCOUNT TO BE DISBURSED AMONG OURSELVES.

AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION, MY COLLEAGUES AND I HAVE AGREED THAT YOU OR YOUR COMPANY CAN ACT AS THE BENEFICIARY TO THIS FUND ($12.5M) YOU OR YOUR COMPANY WILL RETAIN 35% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT WILL BE TRANSFERRED, WHILE 60% WILL BE FOR US AND THE REMAINING 5% WILL BE USED TO OFFSET ANY BILL (EXPENSES) INCURRED BY BOTH SIDES DURING THE COURSE OF THE TRANSFER.

IT MAY INTEREST YOU TO KNOW THAT FOUR YEARS AGO, A SIMILAR TRANSACTION WAS CARRIED OUT WITH ONE MR. PATRICE MILLER, THE PRESIDENT OF CRAINE INTERNATIONAL TRADING CORPORATION AT NUMBER 135 EAST 57TH STREET, 28TH FLOOR, NEW YORK, 10022 WITH TELEPHONE NUMBER (212) 308-7788. AFTER THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN BOTH PARTNERS IN WHICH HE WAS TO TAKE 20% OF THE MONEY WHILE THE REMAINING 80% FOR US. WITH ALL THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS SIGNED, THE MONEY WAS DULY TRANSFERRED INTO HIS ACCOUNT ONLY TO BE DISAPPOINTED ON OUR ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK AND WE WERE RELIABLY INFORMED THAT MR. PATRICE MILLER WAS NO LONGER ON THAT ADDRESS, WHILE HIS TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS HAVE BEEN REALLOCATED TO SOMEBODY ELSE OR ABANDONED. THAT WAS HOW WE LOST $27.5 MILLION TO MR. PATRICE MILLER.

THIS TIME AROUND WE NEED A MORE RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON AND A REPUTABLE COMPANY'S ACCOUNT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY ($12.5 MILLION) INTO. HENCE THIS LETTER TO YOU.

PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT THE PERSONALITIES INVOLVED IN THIS TRANSACTION ARE TOP AND INFLUENTIAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONARIES WHO WOULD NOT LIKE ANY FORM OF EXPOSURE AND AS SUCH WOULD WANT YOU TO KEEP THIS BUSINESS A TOP SECRET AND CONFIDENTIAL.

AND BE REST ASSURED THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. THERE IS NO RISK INVOLVED ON BOTH SIDES.  IF THIS PROPOSAL SATISFIES YOU, THEN CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY BY INDICATING YOUR INTEREST IN ORDER TO EFFECT THE TRANSACTION SOONEST.

PLEASE, YOUR REPONSE IS URGENTLY NEEDED.

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

THEBO WILLIAMS
