    Dear Sir,

    I am Mr. Paul Kema, a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an
    executive Accountant with the South Africa Department of Transport.

    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. Be informed that I got your
    enviable credentials/particulars from the internet.

    I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the
    execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties
    and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this
    transaction.

    Within the Department of Transport where I work as an Executive
    Accountant and with the co-operation of four other top officials, we have in
    our possession an overdue payment bills totaling Twenty - Six Million,
    Four Hundred and twenty six Thousand U. S. Dollars (US$26,426,000.00)
    which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation of
    a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or
    a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so,
    we are handicapped in this circumstance, as the South Africa Civil
    Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate foreign account hence
    your importance in the whole transaction.

    This amount (US$26.426m) represents the balance of the total contract
    value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm,
    which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual
    contract cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the
    balance in the 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 going through the Justice Ministry here in South
    Africa for the transfer of rites and privileges of the former contractor
    to you.

    I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you
    be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will
    be 25% of the US$26.426 million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and
    miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe and risk free, 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.

    Endeavor to contact me immediately through this email address or my
    alternative email preferably paulakema1@netscape.net, whether or not you
    are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for
    another foreign partner to carry out this deal. I want to assure you
    that myself and my partners are in a position to make the payment of this
    claim possible provided you can give us a very strong assurance and
    guarantee that our share will be secured and please remember to treat this
    matter as a very confidential matter, because we will not comprehend
    with any form of exposure as we are still in active Government Service
    and remember once again that time is of great essence in this business.

    I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.

    Yours faithfully,

    Mr. Paul Kema.

    It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.

    I get the pay off your debts and grow your size. I try to not give my email out, so I usually don't get too much.

    Last week I received an email from somebody who needed money to get out being held captive in a hostile part of Pakistan. I found it funny that they had perfect english, a computer, and needed $300,000. Needless to say, the dollar is not the currency in Pakistan, and additionally, they probably do not even have a $ sign on their keyboards.
