STRICTLY PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL.

Dr. Desmond Cross
Pretoria,
South Africa.

Dear Friend,

It is with my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. I have
decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in execution of a deal hereunder for
the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of the
business.

Within the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources where I work as a Director of Projects
Implimentation, and with the co-operation of four other top officials, we have in our
possession, an overdue payment in US funds. The said funds represent certain percentage
of the contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm, which
we the officials over-invoiced to the amount of US$31,000,000.00
(Thirty one Million Dollars).Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original
contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed.

Since the present elected Government is determined to pay all debts owed to both local
and foreign contractors, so as to maintain good relations with foreign governments and non-
governmental financial agencies. As a result we included our bills for approval with the co-
operation of some officials at the Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of South
Africa (RBSA).
We are seeking your assistance as the beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are
not allowed by code of conduct bureau to operate foreign accounts.

It does not matter whether or not your company does contract project of the nature
described here. The assumption is that your company won the majour contract and
subcontracted it to other companies. More often than not, big trading companies and firms
win major contracts and subcontract it to more specialised firms for execution.
This business itself is 100% safe, provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality. I have
reposed my confidence in you and I hope you will not disappoint us.

I have the authority of my colleagues involved to propose that should you be willing to
assist us in this transaction, your share as compensation will be 20% while my colleagues
and I recieve 70%, and the balance 10% for taxes and all other miscelenous expenses
incured.

Endeavour to contact me through my above USA efax number or my email address to
indicate your willingness to assist us. My colleagues and I are in the position to make the
payment of this claim possible provided you can give us a strong assurance and guarantee
that our share will be secured and also bear in mind that we are still in active government
service and therefore the need for stringent confidentiality all through the whole transaction.

Kindly notify me by fax for further details upon your aceptance of this proposal.

Regards,

Dr. Desmond Cross

I've seen a few variations of this general scheme. One was a Middle Eastern Oil guy, and I recently saw one from some Far Eastern place. I always send my bank account information out to these. I still haven't gotten any checks... :eek:

20% of $31 million?! Hold out for at least 10% of $200 million! ;) (I get these all the time.)

This one has a new slant...

Subject: DONATION FOR THE LORD
From: Mrs. Magret Hatch

PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Dr. Kazeem Hatch who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$5.6Million (Five Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one Pinnacle finance/security company in South Africa. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke . Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church that will use this to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.

I took this decision because I don?t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don?t want my husband?s hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don?t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

I don?t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health because of the presence of my husband?s relatives around me always. I don?t want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Pinnacle Finance/Security Company in South Africa . I will also issue you a letter of authority that will empower you as the new beneficiary of this fund.

I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hearing from you.

Reply me at *****@hotmail.com

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs Magret Hatch

But it's for the children...
