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. http://www.info.gov.za/leaders/depmin/envtour.htm
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 wascontacted 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 in a bank in europ, 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 bank firm are you clear? Though,I believe this transaction should be based on
mutuality.
I purposely contacting you to assist me transfer this fund to your country
in any of your nominated bank account that can be able to acommodate the fund.
For your reliable assistance I am 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,
Upon your aceptance we are going to hire an attorney who will
stand on our behalf to make sure that the transfer will be perfect.
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-mailaddresses at (mrs_rejoice02@yahoo.com) Please
for the security of this transfer ok.
Regards,
Mrs Rejoice.
Minister (E.A.A.T)
Republic Of South Africa.
