YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
Dear,
After due deliberation with my children and my lawyer, I decided to contact
you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of
US$25Millon(Twenty five Million United -States Dollars) First, let me start
by introducing myself, I am MRS SUSAN SHABANGU, a mother of three children
and the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security of the Republic of South
Africa since 29 April 1996. Vice-Chairperson of the National Labour and
Development Institute. Member of the African National Congress (ANC)
Steering Committee, under the President of South Africa MR THABO MBEKI.

http://www.info.gov.za/gol/gcis_profile.jsp?id66 After the swearing in
ceremony making me the Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy, my husband
Mr. DAVID SHABANGU died while he was on a 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 of US$25 Million witha bank.
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 it was over-invoiced by him. I am
afraid that the government of South Africa might start investigations on
contracts awarded from 1998 to date and If they discover this money with
this security company, 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 security
firm .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 in your account, I will send my oldest son with my
Attorney to come your country to discuss on business investments. For your
assistance, I am offering you 5 Million (Five million United States Dollars
Only) However, you have to assure me and also be ready to go into a
greement with me that you will not elope with the money.
If you agree to my terms, kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email.
Due to my sensitive position in the South African Government, unfortunately
I would not want you to call me on phone do to my stand in the office, send
a fax to me or email to my private box" (suansha1414@yahoo.com )
If you want to speak with my Attorney, that is fine and okay by me. His
chambers will be representing my interest with you. All correspondence must
be made through my Attorney . I will also like you to give me your contact
address of telephone, fax and email to enable my Attorney call or reach you
from time to time. Please I do not need to remind you of the need for
absolute Confidentiality if this transaction must succeed. If you do not
feel comfortable with this transaction, do not hesitate to discontinue. For
more information contact me or my son on the above email so that I will give
you full details. Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to
your family
