Subject: YOUR HELP NEEDED!!!!
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 its 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,
mother of two 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 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 Vault in his name. At that time,
my children and I did not have an idea where the
Certificate might be. We then I instructed the a Foreign
Financial 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 Financial Institution, and other documents
relating to the safety deposit in a file.
The safety deposit according to the documents is
available in a trunk and is stocked with hard currency
(US Dollars)$26,500,000, which was generated from cash
payments from his business associates in the diamond
trade. Though, I knew my late husband was in the
diamond business, but did not have the knowledge that
he moved funds in cash.
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 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 to receive the safety deposit containing the
funds from the Financial Institution, and then open up
an account there and deposit the fund first before
re-transfer of the fund to your personal account.
After the fund might have get into your personal account
in your country I will apply for my medical leave to come
and meet you for an investment in any valuable project in
your country as you may advice.
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.
With warm regards,
MRS. RT. MABUDAFHASI.
Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism,
South Africa.
