I, Ryan, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Mrs Andile Zulu”:

Fraudulent tender documents trying to obtain company and banking details.

She even called to confirm details before sending scam documents, certain documents I cant upload due to my company info being on them.

Telephone number still active she still answers pretending to be from the water department, give her a call tell her you have a water leak ?
