From: 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.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.I got your contacts through my personal research through
the internet and out of desperation decided to reach you through this medium.
First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly
to you.My name is Mrs. Susan Shabangu, mother of three and 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 in 1996,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 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 book.The safety deposit which
is in a trunk box, is stocked with hard currency (US Dollars) totalling $24,000,000
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 my children, and we 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, hence we sincerely
propose to you to render us your most needed assistance in this regard.
YOUR ROLE IN THIS BUSINESS.
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. Though I
believe this transaction should be based on mutuality.For your reliable assistance,we
are offering you 25% of the funds. I thank you in advance as we anticipate
your assistance in enabling us achieve this goal. On hearing from you,I will
forward to you the full details of this transaction and the certificate of
deposit as well as the contact of the security company in Europe.I 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.This is why I have communicated with you
with my private email address.Whether or not you are interested in assisting
us please let us know.This will enable us make alternative plans, in the
event of non-interest on your part.
With warm regards,
Mrs. S. Shabangu
