Tim G gave you the pointer on how to do this correctly, but I wanted to
point out what the error meant.  The COM error is the second large
negative number here, -2147221005.  Converting that to hex, we get
800401F3.  Looking up that error, we find it is CO_E_CLASSSTRING, which
means the COM class identifier is not valid.

"Redemption.SafeContactItem" is part of a third-party product, not part
of standard Outlook.  Have you installed the Redemption objects?
