Do we have any south africans here?

Do we have any south africans here?
i got the letter below and though, well not another 419 circular. DEAR SIR First, let me start by introducing myself as MRS SUSAN SHABANGU,a mother of three children and the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security since 29th April 1996 to date under the auspices of the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI. After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US$30.5M ( Thirty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) You can view my profile at my website www.gov.za click on, Contact Information, then click on Deputy Minister, and finally, click on Safety and Security and read about me. THE PROPOSAL, After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security, my husband Mr. Ndelebe Shabangu died while he was on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 1996. After his death, I discovered that he had some funds which amounted to the sum of US$30.5M with a security and finance institution in South Africa of which I will divulge information to you when I get your full consent and support to go for a change of beneficiary and subsequent transfer of the funds into you a comfortable and conducive account of your choice. 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 that it was over-invoiced by him. I am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investigate on contracts awarded from 1990 to date. If they discover this money, 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 opening an account with bankers through my banker so that this fund could be wired into your account directly without any hitch. As soon as the fund gets to your account, 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 into 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 20% of the principal sum which amounts to US$6,100.000.00 (Six million One Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only)And 5% will be for Any expenses that both of us may Incure in this transaction. And another 5%will go for Motherless babes home. However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund. If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email. Due to my sensitive position in the South African Government, I prefer you send me email than call. All correspondence must be by email to my sons private email address, {private1davi@yahoo.com } Yours faithfully, MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU Deputy Minister of Safety & Security, South Africa.

then stay. wait until you have enough money to travel back home. of course they miss you, like any good family would. you'll see them soon. trust me. happened to me.
3 :
Go with your instincts. You must be an adult and adults make choices on their own. What is your intuitions telling you. Learn a new culture, who knows, you might end up meeting a handsome and sweet gentleman to sweep you off your feet. Take your chances.
4 :
don't let your mother guilt you into being a child again. She needs to find something else to take up her time. In the states it's called "empty nest syndrome"--when the little birdies fly off to be their own birds.
5 :
Stay where you are, you can't live your life for your family. It's not like you've left home for good. You want to see a bit of the world and experience different things. Tell your family not to worry about you and have a good time.
6 :
You should do what your heart tells you to do. Don't listen to what other people might push you to do. Do what you feel is right. And do what you want, that's the most important thing. Your family will understand your decision.

What is the fastest legal way a good looking very educated girl can make $10 000?

What is the fastest legal way a good looking very educated girl can make $10 000?
Hi everyone, I am 20 years old and currently am a self taught day trader in East village. I was very talented at Finance but couldn't afford to finish my final year at university because of the sudden death of my parents. I am frank in saying that I am very educated despite dropping out as I attended a world-class secondary school and have received the best education. I am charming, charismatic and apparently good looking in an enigmatic way that draws most people I meet in - part of the reason why I have managed to drift in certain high end business circles as I do. I loathe corporate lifestyle and have a passion for entrepreneurship but I feel like I am not ready to get involved with risk of start-up life and raising VC yet. Day trading is very stressful and the risks are becoming more and more intense, as my lack of experience is catching up to my natural instincts and intelligence that I've relied on so far, to succeed at day trading from home. I have exhausted my network and a loan, grant, going to college, getting a job and being a call girl is not an option. My parents are deceased, and I support my sister's schooling in South Africa. We are not native South Africans so only money can prevent the locals from discriminating and being racist to a little girl. Please consider my skills and attributes and kindly suggest strategies that can capitalise on my good qualities. Serious and respectful answers only please. Thank you @howard L. 1. Fuck you. 2. You're mentally retarded, I said that I havent been able to carry on with day trading because the risks have exceeded what it brings in and I have lost a lot of money due to my addmitted lack of experience.. so much so that I cant carry on with it and need 10k fast to pay for bills. Dont answer questions and take up space if you're not willing to read properly or offer constructive advice.

import/export you can actually do this with very few overheads just factory contacts and photos of the items. you do not have to purchase unless you have a sale.
3 :
I think your best option is to network intensely with the contacts you have in high end business circles. You need to let people know you are in the job market and ask if they have any leads or suggestions. With luck, you can land a position and armed with that, you can get a personal loan from a bank. You say you have exhausted your network, I am assuming you mean regarding financial help directly. My impression is that would be the best way to capitalize on the qualities as you have described them, even though it may not bring you 10K as fast as you want.

How come the best flat iron manufacturers dont extend their business to African countries?It only makes sense!?

How come the best flat iron manufacturers dont extend their business to African countries?It only makes sense!?
I see so many cool, excellent quality flat irons on the net, like on Folica.com but they only do shipping to certain countries like the Americas, parts of Europe and Asia. Let me tell you, the money making is in Africa, people here would love to get their hair straight. You may see people with no food, and living in shacks on tv but that's only so they've saved enough money to drive around in a super-charged BMW. I'm from South Africa and I want to get one of those flat irons (like on Folica.com) for my hair but it's so hard to get one you'd think they were manufactured on another planet! Even if i can order online the hassle with maintenance, and the possibility of the product having a fault when received, is simply not worth it. The Best thing would be if a manufacturer opens up a branch in Africa. (I hope someone in the flat iron business sees this question and thinks about it.)

I know someone from South Africa and he's quite a nice person. However, the rest of the continent seems to have some serious problems that are preventing commercial development. Nigeria: quite poor and well known for e-mail scams (where'd they get the computers?) Somalia with the piracy thing, etc. Maybe have one of your family members or internet friends buy one and ship it to you.
