From Gloria Kobi

["Mrs. Gloria Kobi" <Gloriakobi@...>]

Attention,

I am an accountant and a member of the Contract Tender Board (CTB) of the
Petroleum, Oil & Gas Corporation of South Africa (PTY) Ltd also known as
PetroSA. I am presently on a special diplomatic duty in the South Africa
foreign office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I got your contact through
discreet inquiries in my search for a reliable individual or company who can 
handle a strictly confidential transaction that involves the transfer of a
reasonable sum of money to a foreign account. I have no doubt in your
ability to handle a financial business of considerable amount, which will
form the bedrock of an extensive business partnership in due course. In
unfolding this proposal, I want to count on your status that you will handle 
this transaction with all maturity and confidentiality it deserves.

The money we want to transfer to you amount to a total of US$15.500,000.00
(Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) only. It was
extracted from various over-invoiced contracts, masterminded by myself and
some of my colleagues for our mutual benefit when the contracts was awarded
by the Contracts Tender Board (CTB) of the Petroleum, Oil & Gas Corporation
of South Africa (PTY) Ltd. The above over-invoiced sum has been drafted and
short-listed for final payment to a foreign bank account and it has been
reflected as an amount to be paid to a foreign contractor for contract that
has been executed for the Petroleum, Oil & Gas Corporation of South Africa
(PTY) Ltd. The money is currently floating in the suspense account of the
South Africa Reserve Bank (SARB) awaiting claim by a foreign partner, which
status we absolutely want you to assume. The code of conduct bureau in South 
Africa has made it an offence for civil servants like us to (A) operate a
foreign account (B) own a foreign company and(C) take up contract while
still in active service. This is why we need your assistance.

Now is the optimum period to realize this fund following the recent
directive given to all-federal parastatals and corporations to pay off all
foreign debts? I therefore seek your assistance to allow the remittance of
this fund to be made to your personal or company?s bank account. We have
agreed that 30% of the total sum will be given to you and 70% will be for my 
colleagues and me after the successful transference of the fund to your bank 
account.
I want to assure you that all modalities for the successful transfer of this 
money to your account has been perfectly worked out and as such, there is no 
fear of failure. However, I would want to believe that you are honest enough 
and will not raise any misgiving attitude in any aspect of the transaction.
Most importantly, you will keep this transaction very confidential so as not 
to tarnish the confidence reposed on these officials by the nation?s
financial house. If this proposal interests you, kindly indicate your
willingness to me through email Address: Gloriakobi@... for immediate
commencement of the transaction.

To enable this fund to be successfully transferred to your account, you will 
also have to provide the following information:
1. Your company name and address that you wish to use as the beneficiary to
claim the fund.
2. Your private telephone, fax Numbers.
3. Your Bank name, address and account number where you would want the money 
remitted.
More information about the remittance of the fund to your account will be
sent to you when I receive your response. Meanwhile, your swift response
will help us to meet the ultimatum given to all foreign contractors in this
payment quarter to ensure that funds are claimed. We also wish to discuss
investment strategy with you. We have the plan of investing part of our fund 
in real estate with your assistance in your country. Please treat this
information as confidential.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Glria Kobi
