Subject: VERY URGENT FROM MRS REJOICE.
Greetings to you,
With warm heart I offered you 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 to knows who I am ok.

I will now give you a general overview of the situation. When I
was sworn in as Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs and
Tourism in 17 June 1999, 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 But you can always contact me through this e-mail
addresses at <mrs_rejoice02@yahoo.com> Please for the security of
this business ok.
With warm regards,
MRS. RT. MABUDAFHASI.
Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism,
South Africa.
