>From The Desk Of,
MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU
Deputy Minister of Safety and Security
South Africa
After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your
assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum undisclosed for now.
First, 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, Now
Deputy Minister of Safety and Security under the President of South African
MR THABO MBEKI. You can view my profile at my website
http://www.gov.za/gol/gcis_profile.jsp?id=1066
After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister of Minerals and
Energy 1996 my husband Mr Ndelebe Shabangu died while he was on an official
trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 2002. After his death, I discovered that he
had some funds in a dollar account, which mounted to the sum, which cannot
be disclosed for now.
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 1998 to date. If they discoverthis money in his bank
account, they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in South Africa
and this will definitely affect my political career in government.
I want your assistance in clearing this money from the Financial Institute.
As soon as the fund is cleared, you are expected to move it immediately into
another personal bank account in your country. 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 come
to your country to discuss on business investments.
For your assistance, you will be highly compensated, however you have to
assure me and also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not
elope with my fund. Please reply me so that I can tell you the next step to
do (susan_shubangu@ny.com)
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.
