Energy and Mineral Project Scam Email From Dr. Anthony Caslin

From: Dr. Anthony Caslin

E-mail Address:anthonycaslin@yahoo.com.hk


Dear Sir/Madam,

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND URGENT!

The South Africa economy has witnessed a steady growth since the end of Apartheid. Within the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources where I worked as director of Project Implementation, Mining and Quarrying alone contributes 12.3% GDP (R25.9Billion), Gold made up R19.9Billion of the yearly export while Base metals and other mineral products contribute R6.7Billion and R5.0Billion respectively. This figure excludes Diamond, which is quoted separately.

The Government has continuously strived to improve and maintain good relationship with foreign governments and Non-Governmental financial agencies by ensuring payments for all debts owed to foreign contractors. As a matter of fact, the Government has sponsored several trade delegations overseas to improve and attract foreign investments to South Africa.
I write to solicit your partnership in a matter I believe will be of mutual benefit to us. This would require your trust and capability to work with me with your genuine cooperation according to instructions. I and two other colleagues involved in this transaction are still in active government service with the Ministry of Mines & Mineral Resources and we are in dire need of a foreign partner to assist us in the receipt and investment of US$28,500,000.00 (Twenty-Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).

The key issue is the transfer of the said sum to an account that will be provided by you for this purpose for safekeeping and subsequent investment in a profitable venture. We are ready to go into an agreement with you regarding your percentage in this transaction. It does not matter whether or not you own a company, we shall guide you on what to do. The basis will be that a major company won a contract and subcontracted it to you. More often, big trading companies and firms of unrelated fields win contracts and subcontract to more specialized firms for execution.

We shall follow strictly all the legal procedures entailed in our laws and international laws in transferring the funds to you. The source of the fund is legitimate and authoritative; our caucus extends from my Ministry (Energy & Mineral Resources) to the Ministry of Finance. It is pertinent to know that under the South African Government Service Code of Conduct, Civil servants are not allowed to operate or own a bank account overseas, hence your importance as a foreign partner.
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope you will not disappoint me. Should you be willing to assist positively with a common goal, endeavor to contact me immediately through my confidential email address: anthonycaslin@yahoo.com.hk. I await in anticipation your fullest co-operation

Best regards,

Dr. Anthony Caslin.
