Dear Sir,
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.
After careful consideration with my children, we resolved to contact you
for your most needed assistance in this manner. I duly apologize for infringing
on your privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this
proposal to you as a person of integrity.
First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is
Mrs. Susan Shabangu, mother of two and the Deputy Minister of Minerals and
Energy, Republic of South Africa from April 1996 - April 2004 and now Deputy
Minister of Safety and Security of the Republic of South Africa. You can
go through my profile.
http://www.info.gov.za/leaders/depmin/safesec.htm.
I will now give you a general overview of the situation. When I was sworn
in as Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy in 1996, with my influence,
my husband Mr.Ndelebe 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 husband’s
business, which was very vast and successful.
My beloved husband died whilst on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago
in February 2001.When my husband died, I was contacted as Next of Kin by
a private security firm in Europe to come forth with the Certificate of
Deposit and claim a safety deposit my husband has in their Vault in his
name. At that time, my children and I did not have an idea where the Certificate
might be. We 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 file.
The safety deposit according to the documents is available in a trunk and
is stocked with hard currency (US Dollars)$18,500,000, which was generated
from cash payments from his business associates in the diamond trade. Though,
I knew my late husband was in the diamond business, but did not have the
knowledge that he moved funds in cash.
This has came as a shock to me and my children, and we have decided to have
this fund invested immediately in commercial and residential properties
abroad as well as in any profitable ventures, since no member of my family
can hold such huge amount in our name due to my political status and to
avoid any Government investigations, hence we sincerely appeal to you to
render us your most needed assistance in this regard.
If you agree to render us 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, are you clear ?. Though, I believe this
transaction should be based on mutuality, a family associate, who is a diplomat,
will protect my family’s interest. He is now aware of the safety deposit,
and I have informed him that I am locating one of my husband’s business
associates (YOU) to handle the funds and invest on our behalf, as he might
be opposed to our decision if he found out that I barely know you.
The part of services the diplomat is required to render is to assist you
in claiming the consignments from the terminal of the security company and
to set up a transit domiciliary account in your name in one of the prime
bank he has contacts to carry out the exercise through the back door.
The purpose of the account is to enable you deposit the funds for further
transfer into your nominated bank. For your reliable assistance, we are
offering you 25% ($4,625,000) of the funds. I wish to thank you in advance
as we anticipate your assistance in enabling us achieve this goal. On hearing
from you, I will forward your contact to the diplomat who will be representing
us, 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 for now.
With warm regards,
MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU
Deputy Minister of Safety and Security, South Africa
