MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU,
16, MIKELELE STREET,
CAPE TOWN,
SOUTH AFRICA.
11TH MARCH, 2005
Hello,
Greetings of the day. No matter how you feel about the contents of this
letter, please handle it in the most confidential manner. My name is SUSAN
SHABANGU from Cape Town, South Africa. I was married earlier in my life
but later divorced without any child. Life has been good until the 26th
of December last year, when my husband who was on holidays with our children
were swept away by the Tsunami that struck South Eastern Asia Countries.
He and our lovely daughters were later found stone dead the next day. Since
I received the ugly news, I have been hit with a stroke, Which has kept
me temporally in the hospital.
However, the information I want to share with you is that my late husband
(who was involved in gold and diamond business) has safely stashed away
the sum of US$18,000,000.00 ( eighteen million US dollars) with a securities
company in Spain. Since his death, I have managed to go through some of
his files he kept with me in confidence and made the discovery.
I would want to seek your assistance in recovering this huge sum from the
Securities Company in Spain. In this my present situation, there is nothing
much I can do than to search for a sincere person that can retrieve this
funds on percentage basis. If you accept to work with me in this, you will
be rewarded handsomely with about 30% of the total sum.
I have also sent my late husband?s cousin to Spain in order to liaise with
you if you will accept to work with us in this matter. If you accept to
do this with us, please call him. His name is Kelvin Ndlovu, phone number
0034 649003753. Like I said earlier, he is right now in Spain and ready
to discuss the matter with you, once you call him on phone. You can also
reply this mail through my private e-mail box: susan_shabangusus@laposte.net.
Because I do not know if I will ever survive this illness, I would also
want you to honestly discuss with Kelvin how best to invest the rest 70%
in your country. Kelvin will also introduce you to our contact person in
the securities company for finalization.
Whatever will be your reaction to this information, please keep everything
about it as secret as you can. Please note that this is not a senseless
proposition as you are going to confirm in due time.
May God Almighty continue to bless you in good health.
Best regards.
Susan Shabangu.
