Dear Sir,
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 SUSA 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 DAVID CHABANGU 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. SUSA .SHABANGU ,
