FROM MRS REJOICE MABUDAFHASI
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.
<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 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.
With warm regards,
MRS. RT. MABUDAFHASI.
Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism,
South Africa.
Mrs Rejoice
