Mr. Richard Khoza.
Director of Projects
Department of Minerals & Energy
Pretoria South Africa.

Attention: President/CEO

I write, asking for your indulgence in re-profiling funds to tune of Fifty
Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars(US$52.8M) which we
want kept safely overseas under your supervision.

In other words, we would like you to receive the said funds on our behalf.
The Funds were derived over time from a project awarded to a foreign firm
by my Department, and presently the actual contract cost have been paid to
the original project executors, leaving the balance in the tune of the
said amount which we have in principle obtained approval to remit
overseas.

Kindly pardon the use of a medium as informal as this for reaching out to
you to make a request of great importance to us.

Currently, I work as a Director of Projects at the Department of Minerals
& Energy here in Pretoria South Africa. I have the authority and approval
of my partners involved in this transaction to negotiate a suitable
compensation for your participation and I propose 32.2 percent for you,
while we also propose that we receive 56.6 percent and 11.2 percent are
earmarked for purposes of taxation and other expenses.

This endeavor has a minimal risk factor on your part provided you treat it
with the utmost discretion. You are advised to reach me through my private
fax for more information.

I am available via fax to discuss further with you. I kindly wait to hear
from you.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Richard Khoza.
