Dear Friend,
After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your
assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US$13 Millon (Thirteen
Million United States Dollars Only) First, let me start by introducing myself,
I am Mrs. Susan Shabangu, 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.Visit this site for my profile 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 Ndelebe Shabangu 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$13 Million
with SECURITY COMPANY.
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 definetely 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 3 Million (Three 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 me an email. Due to my sensitive
position in the South African Government, I would not WANT you to call me
on phone or send a fax to me. All correspondence must be by email to my
private email susan_2004@zwallet.com
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. YOU MUST NOT CALL ME! 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. Susan Shabangu.
