Mrs.Susan Shabangu
Greetings to you,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings,and I hope this
mail meets you in good time.However strange or surprising this contact might
seem to you as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I
humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and the immense
benefit it will be to you.
First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is
Mrs. Susan Shabangu,the Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy of The
Republic of South Africa for seven years, I will now give you a general
overview of the situation. When I was sworn in as Deputy Minister of
Minerals and Energy, with my influence, my husband Mr. Ndelebe Simon
Shabangu a very successful businessman was awarded several contracts in my
ministry and had direct dealings with foreign investors in this field.
Due to my political status, I was not involved in my husbands business which
was very vast and successful. My beloved husband died whilst on an official
trip to Trinidad and Tobago in February 2002.

One day, I was contacted as next of kin by a private security firm in Ivory
coast to come forth with the Certificate of Deposit and claim a safety
deposit my husband has in their Vault in his name as they couldnot hear from
my husband again. At that time, I did not have an idea where the Certificate
might be.
I then instructed the security firm to continue holding the safety deposit
until further instructions from me. Whilst preparing for the second
remembrance of my beloved husband, I was going through his library
collection and to my astonishment I discovered a Certificate of Deposit for
the safety deposit with this private security firm, and other documents
relating to the safety deposit in a book.
The safety deposit which is in a trunk box, is stocked with hard currency
totalling twelve million dollars(USD 12,000,000) which was generated from
cash payments from his business associates in the diamond trade from
Antwerp,Belgium.
Though I knew my late husband was in the diamond business, I did not have
the knowledge that he moved funds in cash. This has came as a shock to me
and I have decided to have this fund invested immediately in commercial and
residential properties abroad as well as profitable ventures, as any member
of my family cannot hold such a huge amount in our name due to my political
status here in south africa, this is why I sincerely propose to you to
render me your most needed assistance in this regard.If you agree to render
me your assistance, your role in this project will be to act on my behalf as
a trustee to receive the safety deposit containing the funds from the
Security firm. Though I believe this transaction should be based on
mutuality,
For your reliable assistance, am offering you 10% of the funds. I thank you
in advance as I anticipate your assistance in enabling me achieve this goal.
On hearing from you, I will forward your contact to my international lawyer
who will be representing me, and also give you his contact for both of you
to communicate and proceed with the transaction.
He will be working with you for a mutual conclusion of the process and I
look forward to a long lasting business relationship with you. As you may
understand, due to my sensitive position in the present government, it is
not safe to communicate with me via phone or fax.This is why I
have communicated with you with my private email address, and I like us to
keep this way,for the safety of this transaction.whether or not you are
interested in assisting me please let me know.This will enable me make
alternative plans, in the event of non-interest on your part.
With warm regards,
Mrs. S. Shabangu
