*DEAR SIR/MADAM
IN MY SEARCH FOR A TRUSTWORTHY PERSON OR INDIVIDUAL TO ASIST ME IN A
CONFIDENTIAL FAMILY BUSINESS TRANSACTION,I CAME ACROSS YOUR ESTEEM PROFILE.*
*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 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 **WWW.GOV.ZA* <http://www.gov.za/>* CLICK ON, CONTACT
INFORMATION, THEN CLICK ON DEPUTY MINISTER, AND CLICK ON SAFETY AND SECURITY
FINALLY, CLICK ON MY NAME SUSAN SHABANGU AND READ ABOUT ME.
THE PROPOSAL, AFTER THE SWEARING IN CEREMONY MAKING ME THE DEPUTY MINISTER
OF SAFETY AND SECURITY, MY HUSBAND MR. NDELEBE SUSAN 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.
I WANT YOUR ASSISTANCE IN OPENING AN ACCOUNT WITH BANKERS THROUGH MY BANKER
SO THAT THIS FUND COULD BE WIRED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT DIRECTLY WITHOUT ANY
HITCH. AS SOON AS THE FUND GETS TO YOUR ACCOUNT, 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, I AM OFFERING YOU 20% OF THE PRINCIPAL SUM WHICH
AMOUNTS TO US$12,100.000.00 (TWELVE MILLION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED
STATES DOLLARS ONLY) 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 EMAIL. DUE TO MY
SENSITIVE POSITION IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT,
PLEASE DO NOT CALL ME ON LINE, BECAUSE OF THE SENSITIVITY OF THIS
TRANSACTION EXCEPT YOU CAN CALL MY SON ON HIS DIRECT LINE ABOVE HIS NAME IS
MARTIN SHABANGU.
I PREFER YOU SEND ME EMAIL THAN CALL. ALL CORRESPONDENCE MUST BE BY EMAIL TO
MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS,
**{*<http://us.mc334.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=%7bministerinfo1@yahoo.it>

IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK WITH MY BANKER, THAT IS FINE AND OKAY BY ME. YOU WILL
HAVE TO SEND DOWN YOU PRIVATE TELEPHONE /FAX NUMBER SO THAT I CAN FORWARD IT
TO HIM TO REACH YOU FROM TIME TO TIME THIS IS FOR SECURITY REASONS. PLEASE I
DO NOT NEED TO REMIND YOU OF THE NEED FOR ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THIS
TRANSACTION MUST SUCCEED. 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.
