Dear Sir,
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in
this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as
being utterly confidential and if
the contents of this mail does meet with your
approval, I humbly crave your indulgence.
My name is Joseph Vilakazi, I recently retired as the
chairman of the contract award committee of the
department of housing, Pretoria, South Africa. This
committee was in charge of awarding contracts on
behalf of the department of housing.
To cut a long story short, in the course of our award
of contract, we over-invoiced a contract for the
building of housing units in Soweto, South Africa.
This over-invoicing was done with the active
co-operation of the contractor involved.
The said contract has been executed and the contractor
paid off. We the committee members want to collect our
share of the over-invoiced contract sum.
We need a proxy to collect this fund for us, hence
this proposal to you. This transaction does not
require any financial commitment of any sort from you.
All you need to do is to collect this fund on our
behalf and we will reward you handsomely.
I am presently in the United Kingdom, taking a
retirement vacation. I can be reached via email or on
telephone number +447907953095 for more details.
Like I stated earlier, this transaction does not
require any financial commitment from you.
I await your response if you are interested.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Joseph Vilakazi.
