Subject: Dear Friend,
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.

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 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 shabangu0710@yahoo.com
I will also like you to give me your contact address , telephone, fax and email .
Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute Confidentiality if this transaction must succeed. YOU MUST NOT CALL ME! . Thanks for your anticipated co-operation .
Mrs. Susan Shabangu
