MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU. E-MAIL:shabangususan@netscape.net Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy, Ministry of Minerals and Energy, South Africa.
Dear Friend,
After due deliberation with my children, I decided to contact you for your assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US$15.5M (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only). First, let me start by introducing myself, I am MRS SUSAN SHABANGU, a mother of three children and the Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy since 1st April 1996 to date under the President of South Africa DR THABO MBEKI. You can view my profile at my website
www.gov.za/profiles/shabangu.htm.
Shortly after the swearing-in ceremony as the Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy, my husband Mr Ndelebe Shabangu died while on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 2002. After his death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account which amounted to the sum of US$15.5M with MAGNUM TRUST FINANCE AND SECURITY SERVICES.
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 1998 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 definetely affect my political career in government.
I want your assistance in clearing this money from MAGNUM TRUST FINANCE AND SECURITY SERVICES. So, 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 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 2 Million (Two million 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, I would not want you to call me on phone or send a fax to me. All correspondence must be by email to my private email.
However, for security reasons my eldest son Mr. Nkosi Shabangu will be representing my interest with you. Most correspondence would be between you and him. I will arrange for a secured means of telephone/fax communication for him, for this transaction. If you want to speak with him, that is fine and okay by me. I will arrange for it as soon as I hear from you. But to start with, please reach me now on my private email:shabangususan@netscape.net sending in your private contact address, telephone, fax and email address to enable my son 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. YOU MUST NOT CALL ME!
If you do not feel comfortable with this transaction, do not hesitate to discontinue. N:B Please note that as a result of an observed malfunctioning of various website based programmes with our internet access-gateway, I have constrained myself to deliberately send this mail in multiples, this is a concerted effort on my part to make sure my mail actually reaches you. Therefore, if you receive more than one copy of this mail, it is very deliberate. I hope this fault will be rectified soon.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation and my regards to your family.
Yours faithfully,
MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU. Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy, South Africa.
