Attention : The Director & C.E.O
Greetings to you,
In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through a reliable source, First of all, I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Mrs. Susana Shabangu, mother of three and the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security since 29th April 1996 under the auspices of the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI.
It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration since I cannot be able to see you face to face. I believe you are a highly respected personality considering the fact that I sourced your profile from a human resource profile database on your country. However, 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 in respect of investment at my disposal.
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 2003.
When my husband died , I was contacted as beneficary by the Royal Trust Security and Financial Firm 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 original copy of the Certificate might be. I then instructed the 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 the Certificate of Deposit for the safety deposit with this financial firm and other documents relating to the safety deposit in a book.
The safety deposit which is a security steel trunk, is stocked with totalling $25,500,000 US Dollars { Twenty Five Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars}which was generated from cash payments from my late husband's business associates in the diamond trade South Africa.
Presently we have certisfied the existence of the safety deposit {fund} in the security vault with all the appropate documents of the safety deposit in my position as the hier , and we have decided to have this fund invested immediately in commercial and residential properties abroad as well as profitable ventures.
I and my children came up with the idea of foreign investment with the fund in any investment friendly country abroad due to my sensitive position in the government as I cannot introduce or circulate the said fund into the South African banking system coupled with the Bureau of conduct guidelines and regulations for public civil servants, hence I sincerely propose to you to render me your most needed assistance in this regard.
For the above reason we decided to seek for an assistance and help from you as my late husband foreign business associates to enable us reach a contract joint venture partnership agreement to transfer and invest the fund in a profitable business orientation in your country under long time joint venture partnership to enable us entrust the investment in your care and management.
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's representatives. Though I believe this transaction should be based on mutuality, my family's interest will be protected by a family associate, who is a attached to the South African Embassy in the country where the financial firm is located. He will be working with you for a mutual conclusion of the process.
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. Though, I do not know you in person but I still maintain my late husbands theory that business is people and contacts.Hence I crave your assistance and urgent attention.
With my position and the way the government is watching every civil servant closely, I cannot handle the processing of this transaction myself from begining till end ,that is the reason why I discuss this issues with our family associate in arranging the entire transaction and make sure the fund gets to your custody safely and successfully.
In addition, it is not safe to communicate with me via phone or fax. Email communication will be preferable and I will like us to keep this way, for the safety and success of this transaction.
In view of your participation in this business transaction, I am ready to give you a good negotiable percentage for your assistance, or better still commit it into viable Joint venture projects, be assured that you stand no risk of any kind as the funds belong to me and my children. I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business ventures will derive a huge success here after.
Thank you for your understanding and I'm looking forward to having a successful business relationship with you.
I anticipate an urgent response from you..
Yours faithfully,
DR. MRS.SUSANA SHABANGU
