Business Relationship and Investment

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$30.5M Thirty Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States
Dollars Only). First, let me start by introducing myself as MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU,
a mother of
three children and the Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy since 1stApril
1996 to date under
the auspices of the President of South Africa MRTHABO MBEKI. You can view my
profile at my
website www.gov.za/profiles/shabangu.htm.


THE PROPOSAL:
After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister of Minerals and
Energy, my husband
Mr Ndelebe 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.

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
definetely affect my
political career in government as well as the welfare of my children.

I want your assistance in the clearance and collection of the monies and
subsequently opening an
account with any condusive bank of your choice so that this fund could be wired
into your
account directly without any hitch. As soon as the fund gets to youraccount, 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$6,100.000.00
(Six 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, 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 address: or alternatively
([e-mail])


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. 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.
