Subject: Contact Dr.Fred Thambo Immediately. (Dr. Fred is most likely a higher-up in the scammer hierarchy. The initial 'catcher' finds the victim and does the usual gullibility tests before passing off to another criminal further up the food chain)
Dear Don Morgan ,
We have already gotten all the necessary documents and approvals that is why I wanted to call you to update you.So I have already concluded discussion with the Minister regarding the best way to handle the funds and he has personally directed the Foreign Payment Director in South Africa Dr.Fred Thambo to attend to you personally without any body asking you questions in South Africa.
We will pay Dr.Fred Thambo 5% commission after successful transfer from South Africa to your A/c so any thing Dr.Fred Thambo ask you to do in South Africa you do it because he is working in our favor and because this is a large amount, it needs special attention.
You can contact Dr.Fred Thambo on tel 27-732 617863 (as opposed to Victor's ersatz South African number, this one is for South Africa), You should feel very free with him because he is deeply involved with us because of the 5% commission .He will guide you in South Africa and make every thing very easy for us because of the involvement of the Minister.
You are required to go to South Africa with the following requirements
1) Photocopy of your ID. Or International passport.
2)$ 26,000.00 USD official payment for Stamp Duty
Charge (I could have strung this out longer by asking
just what a Stamp Duty was, but I was itching to get them to wait at the
airport)
3) 2 passport Picture
After the signing ,the fund will be transferred to your account in your present and you will call your bank from our foreign offshore payment centre to confirm that the fund is already in your account. On confirmation of the successful transfer of the fund to your account by your bank, I will take the next available flight to meet you up so that we can then go back to your country like one family for sharing and investment as I stated in my first letter of proposal. After the proper sharing of the first transfer we can then go into the second transfer.
Any expenses you make regarding to the transfer of this business you have to Note it down because as soon as you receive the Funds we will settle expenses first before sharing.
Call Dr.Fred Thambo now, inform him the possible date you are coming to sign the Release Order and get back to me as quickly as possible by mail to inform me your discussion with him.
Have you concluded your travel arrangement as you were instructed ?? (Yeah, and did you ever get around to telling me if I was going to Johannesburg or not??) I wait for your confirmation.
Yours,
Wilson Victor
