YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE AND UNDERSTANDING NEEDED.
Sorry for getting in to your privacy.After due deliberation with my children
and my lawyer, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a
beneficiary to the sum of US$25Millon (Twenty five Million United States
Dollars ) First, let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS JANET
GARBA, a mother of three children and the Deputy Minister of Safety and
Security of the Republic of South Africa since 29 April
1996.Vice-Chairperson of the National Labour and Development Institute.
Member of the African National Congress (ANC) Steering Committee, under the
President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI.

http://www.info.gov.za/gol/gcis_profile.jsp?id=1066 After the swearing in
ceremony making me the Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy, my husband MR
DAVID GARBA died while he was on a trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 2002.
After his death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account
which mounted to the sum of US$25 Million in a SECURITY VAULT.
This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract which he
executed with the Government of South Africa. Though I assisted him in
getting this contract but I never knew it was over-invoiced by him. I am
afraid that the government of South Africa might start investigations on
contracts awarded from 1998 to date and If they discover this money with
this security company, they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in
South Africa and this will definitely affect my political career in
government. I want your assistance in clearing this money from the security
firm .As soon as the fund is cleared, you are expected to move it
immediately into another personal bank account in your country.
I will see to it that the account is not traced from South Africa. As soon
as you have confirmed the fund in your account, I will send my eldest son
with my Attorney to come to your country to discuss on business investments.
For your assistance, I am offering you 1 Million (One million United States
Dollars Only) However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into
agreement with me that you will not elope with the money.
If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send email to me.
Due to my sensitive position in the South African Government, All
correspondence must be by email to my private email. If you want to speak
with my Attorney, that is fine and okay by me. His chambers will be
representing my interest with you. All correspondence must be made through
my Attorney.
I will also like you to give me your contact address of telephone, fax and
email to enable my Attorney call or reach you from time to time. Please I do
not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality if this
transaction must succeed. If you do not feel comfortable with this
transaction, do not hesitate to discontinue.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family.
Yours Faithfully,
MRS. JANET GARBA ,
