Subject: VERY URGENT
Greetings to you,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings,
and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However
strange or surprising this contact might seem to you
as we have not met personally or had any dealings in
the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration
of it's importance and the immense benefit it will be
to you.
After careful consideration with my children, we
resolved to contact you for your most needed
assistance in this manner. I duly apologize for
infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not
acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a
person of integrity.
First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly
to you.My name is Mrs.Rejoice Thizwilondi Mabudafhasi
a Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism
of the Republic of South Africa since 17 June 1999.You
can go through my profile.

I will now give you a general overview of the
situation. When I was sworn in as Deputy Minister of
Environmental Affairs and Tourism, with my influence, my
husband Mr. Zungana T. Mabudafhasi,a very successful
businessman was awarded several contracts in my
ministry and had direct dealings with foreign
investors in this field. Due to my political status, I
was not involved in my husband’s business, which was
very vast and successful.
My beloved husband died whilst on an official trip to
Trinidad and Tobago in February 2001.When my husband
died,I was contacted as Next of Kin by a Foreign
Financial Institution in overseas to come forth with
the Certificate of Deposit and claim a safety deposit
my husband has in their firm in his name.At that time,
my children and I did not have an idea where the
Certificate might be. We then instructed the
Institution to continue holding the safety deposit
until further instructions from me.
Whilst preparing for the second remembrance of my
beloved husband, I was going through his library
collection and to my astonishment I discovered a
Certificate of Deposit for the safety deposit with
this private Financial security firm, and other
documents relating to the safety deposit in a file.
The safety deposit according to the documents is
available in account with hard currency(US Dollars)
$26,500,000,with the Finaincial Firm which was
generated from cash payments from his business
associates in the diamond trade and Contracts.Though,
I knew my late husband was in the diamond business,
but did not have the knowledge that he moved funds in
cash to oversea.
This has came as a shock to me and my children, and we
have decided to have this fund invested immediately in
commercial and residential properties abroad as well
as in any profitable ventures, since no member of my
family can hold such huge amount in our name due to my
political status,due to my Position here I cannot be
able to execute the business myself or any of my
family member because I will be question and to avoid
any Government investigations,hence we sincerely
appeal to you to render us your most needed assistance
in this regard.
If you agree to render us your assistance, your role
in this project will be to act on my behalf as a
trustee/business associate to my Husband to receive
the safety deposit funds from the Security firm, are
you clear?.Though,I believe this transaction should be
based on mutuality,a family associate, who is a
diplomat,will protect my family’s interest.He is now
aware of the safety deposit, and I have informed him
that I am locating one of my husband’s business
associates (YOU) to handle the funds and invest on our
behalf, as he might be opposed to our decision if he
found out that I barely know you.
The part of services the diplomat is required to
render is to assist you in claiming the consignments
from the terminal of the security company and to set
up a transit domiciliary account in your name in one
of the prime bank he has contacts to carry out the
exercise through the back door.
The purpose of the account is to enable you deposit
the funds for further transfer into your nominated
bank. For your reliable assistance, we are offering
you 25% ($6,625,000) of the funds. I wish to thank you
in advance as we anticipate your assistance in
enabling us achieve this goal. On hearing from you, I
will forward your contact to the diplomat who will be
representing us,and also give you his contact for
both of you to communicate and proceed with the
transaction.
He will be working with you for a mutual conclusion of
the process and I look forward to a long lasting
business relationship with you. As you may understand,
due to my sensitive position in the present
government, it is not safe to communicate with me via
phone or fax for now as all my movements are well
monitored.
With warm regards,
MRS. RT. MABUDAFHASI.
Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism,
South Africa.
