*Good Day,
First, let me start by introducing myself as MRS SUSAN SHABANGU,a mother of
three children and the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security 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 decided to contact

Shabangu and read about me. THE PROPOSAL, After the swearing in ceremony
making me the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security, my husband Mr. Ndebele
Shabangu died while he was on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in
1996.After his death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar
account which amounted to the sum of US$30.5M with a security and finance
institution in South Africa of which I will divulge information to you when
I get your full consent and support to go for a change of beneficiary and
subsequent 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 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 1990 to date. If they discover this 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.

so that this fund could be wired into your account directly without any
hitch.

(Six million One Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only)And 5% will be
for Any expenses that both of us may Insure in this transaction. And another
5%will go for Motherless babes home. However, you have to assure me and also
be ready to go into agreement with me that you will not elope with my fund.
If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an ** if you
want to speak with my Banker or my elder son, that is fine and okay by me.

want to speak with me then i will give you my private numbers so that we can
talk more about the transfer, Moreover the name of my son is {Mr
