Subject: Get Back To Me.
Good Day!
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 international logistics discussion group and 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 of liver failure in 23rd December,2003.

When my husband died,I was contacted as next of kin by a FINANCE Firm in Europe to come forth with the Certificate of Deposit
and claim fund deposited by my husband in his name.At that time,my children and I did not have an idea where the Certificate might be.We then instructed the Finance Firm to continue holding the fund 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 fund with the Finance Company, and other documents relating to the Fund in a book.The amount deposited is Hundred Million United states dollars($100,000,000 US Dollars)which was generated from cash payments from his business associates in the diamond trades In Africa and also from Antwerp,Belgium.Though I knew my late husband was in the diamond business, I did not have the knowledge that he has such amount of 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 Beneficiary to sign out the fund from the finance company and receive the Funds in your account and also HELP INVEST MY OWN SHARE.I will give you all the neccessary legal Back up to help you secure this fund safely including Power of Attorney. Though I believe this transaction should be based on mutuality.For your reliable assistance,we will offer you 10% of the fund. I thank you in advance as we anticipate your assistance in enabling us achieve this goal.
On hearing from you,we will employ the service of a Family Lawyer who is based in London to assist in securing all neccessary documents for the transfer of the money to your account immediately.I will be working with you for a mutual conclusion of the project 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. This is why we should be communicating through my email address and Fax.If this proposal appeals to your interest please kindly get back to me with your details.
