Greetings, Firstly, 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$20.M (Twenty Million United States Dollars Only) You can view my profile at my website www.gov.za click on, Contact Information, then click on Deputy Ministries, 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. Ndebele 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$20.Million, 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 from1990 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 financial advice to discuss on business investments. I should let you know that this transaction is risk free. We are willing to accept any reasonable condition you may deem necessary, also we can as well go into partnership business with you. 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 PRIVATE LINE 00 27 787048292 HIS NAME IS MARTIN SHABANGU, AND ALSO MY FINANCIAL ADVICE ON HIS PRIVATE LINE 00 27 83 5585517. I prefer you send me email than call. All correspondence must be by email to my private email address, if you want to speak with my Banker that is fine and okay by me. You will have to send down your private telephone/fax numbers 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. Please you can contact me on my private email: shabangu01@tsamail.co.za Mrs. Susan Shabangu Dept.
