ATTENTION:
RE: URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
Compliments and Greetings to you from South Africa. Sequel to a meeting
with my family and after due deliberation with my children, I am contacting
you for your utmost assistance in a delicate matter that involves the sum
of US$16.5M (Sixteen Milion, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
Only) and by you, standing as a beneficiary to this sum on our behalf.
Firstly, let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS SUSAN SHABANGU, a
mother of three children and the former Deputy Minister of Minerals and
Energy but presently the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security, under the
auspices of the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI. You can view my
profile at my website http://www.gov.za/gol/gcis_profile.jsp?id=1066
THE PROPOSAL
After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister of Minerals
and Energy, my husband Mr Ndelebe Shabangu died while he was on an official
trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 1996. After his death, I discovered that
he had some funds in a dollar account which amounted to the sum of US$16.5M
with a finance Company Abroad.
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 that it was over-invoiced by him. I am afraid
that the government of South Africa might start to investigate on contracts
awarded from 1990 to date and If they discover this kind of money in his
bank account, it will raise eyebrow which may leed to the account confiscated
and other assets seized here in South Africa and this will definetely affect
my political career in government.
I want your assistance in opening an account with this Finance Company through
my Attorney so that this fund could be wired into your account directly
without any hitch. As soon as the fund gets to your account, you are expected
to move it immediately into another personal bank account in your country
or else where. I will see to it that the account is not traced from South
Africa. As soon as you have confirmed the fund into your account, I will
send my eldest son with my Attorney to comeover to your country to meet
and discuss on possible business investments.
For your assistance rendered , I am opened to negotiation with you on the
percentage of the total sum that will go to you, However, you have to assure
me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not elope
with my fund when it gets to your account.
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 and secured email address, mssusanshabangu_minister05@yahoo.co.uk
If you want to speak with my Attorney, that is fine and okay by me. His
chambers will be representing my interest at the Finance Company. All correspondence
must be made either to my Attorney,or send me an email. I will also like
you to give me your contact address, telephone, fax and mobile(if any),
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
Deputy Minister of Safety and Security
South Africa
(For The Family)
