Dear Sir/madam First, let me start by introducing myself as MRS SUSAN SHAB=
ANGU, a mother of three children and the Deputy Minister of Safety and Sec=
urity since 29th April 1996 to date under the auspices of the President of=
South Africa MR THABO MBEKI. After due deliberation with my children, I d=
ecided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to =
the sum of US$30.5M ( Thirty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States =
Dollars Only) You can view my profile at my website wwwgov.za click on, Co=
ntact Information, then click on Deputy Minister, and click on Safety and =
Security finally, click on my name susan shabangu and read about me. THE P=
ROPOSAL, After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister of S=
afety and Security, my husband Mr Ndelebe Susan Shabangu died while he was=
on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 1996.=20
After his death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account w=
hich amounted to the sum of US$30.5M with a security and finance instituti=
on in South Africa of which I will divulge information to you when I get y=
our full consent and support to go for a change of beneficiary and subsequ=
ent transfer of the funds into you a comfortable and conducive account of =
your choice. This fund emanated as a result of an over-invoiced contract w=
hich 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 hi=
m. I am afraid that the government of South Africa might start to investig=
ate on contracts awarded from 1990 to date If they discover this money in =
his bank account, they will confiscate it and seize his assets here in Sou=
th Africa and this will definitely affect my political career in governmen=
t.I want your assistance in opening an account with bankers through my ban=
ker so that this fund could be wired into your account directly without an=
y hitch. As soon as the fund gets to your account, you are expected to mov=
e it immediately into another personal bank account in your country. I wil=
l see to it that the account is not traced from South Africa. As soon as y=
ou have confirmed the fund into your account, I will send my eldest son wi=
th my Attorney to come to your country to discuss on business investments.=
For your assistance, I am offering you 20% of the principal sum which amo=
unts to US$6,100.000.00 (Six million One Hundred Thousand United States Do=
llars Only) However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into ag=
reement with me that you will not elope with my fund. If you agree to my t=
erms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email. Due to my sensitive =
position in the South African Government, PLEASE DO NOT CALL ON THE OFFICE=
LINE, BECAUSE OF THE SENSITIVITY OF THIS TRANSACTION EXCEPT OF THE ABOVE =
DIRECT LINE. I prefer you send me email than call. All correspondence must=
be by email to my private email address, { [http://mixmail.ya.com/app/mes=
