DEPUTY MINISTER OF MINING
OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
Email: susanbangufamilys@gmail.com
Good Day:
Compliments of the day to you, with due respect, trust and humility, I write
to you this proposal,
First, let me start by introducing myself as MS SUSAN SHABANGU, a mother of
three children and the Deputy Minister of Mining of the Republic of South
Africa since May 2009. To date under the auspices of the President of South
Africa MR JACOB ZUMA. 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 by clicking (
www.info.gov.za/gol/gcis_profile.jsp?id=1066 ) and read about me.
THE PROPOSAL, After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister
of Mining, 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. 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.
I am offering you 20% of the principal sum which amounts to US$6,100.000.00
(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
email.
(susanbangufamilys@gmail.com) if you want to speak with my Banker that
promises to help move this fund out of South Africa to your account, that is
fine and okay by me. or any time you want to speak with my Jacob then I
will give you his private numbers so that we can talk more about the
transfer, Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute
Confidentiality of this transaction.
My regards to your family
Yours faithfully,
MS. SUSAN SHABANGU
Deputy Minister of Mining of the
Republic of South Africa since May 2009
