Seasons greetings

[prone1]

From: Mrs. Susan Shabangu.

Greetings to you,

With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings,and I hope this mail meets 
you in good time. 
However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not met 
personally or had 
any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its 
importance and the 
immense benefit it will be to you.

After careful consideration and consultation with my children, we resolved to 
contact you for your most needed
assistance in this manner. I duly apologize for infringing on your privacy, if 
this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this proposal 
to you as a person of integrity.

First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Mrs. 
Susan Shabangu, 
mother of three and the Deputy Minister of Minerals and Energy of The Republic 
of South Africa for seven years running.

I will now give you a general overview of the situation. When I was sworn in as 
Deputy Minister 
of Minerals and Energy in 1996, with my influence, my husband Mr. Ndelebe 
Shabangu a very 
successful businessman was awarded several contracts in my ministry and had 
direct dealings with 
foreign investors in this field. Due to my political status, I was not involved 
in my husband's business which was very vast and successful. My 
beloved husband died whilst on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in 
February 2001.

After his death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account which 
amounted to the sum of US$8.6M with South African Reserve Bank.

This has come as a shock to me and my children, and we have decided to have 
this fund invested immediately in commercial 
and residential properties abroad as well as profitable ventures, as any member 
of my family 
cannot hold such a huge amount in our name due to my political status, hence we 
sincerely propose to you to render us your most needed 
assistance in this regard.

If you agree to render us your assistance, your role in this project will be to 
act on my behalf as a
trustee to receive the funds. 

Though I believe this transaction should be based on mutuality, my family's 
interest will be 
protected and represented by a family associate, who is a lawyer(attorney).
I have informed him that I am locating one of my husband's business associates 
(you) to handle 
the funds and invest on our behalf, as he might be opposed to our decision if 
he found out
that I barely know you.

I plead your assistance in enabling us achieve this goal. On hearing from you, 
I will forward your contact to the gentleman lawyer who will be representing 
us, and 
also give you his contact for both of you to communicate and proceed with the 
transaction.
He will be working with you for a mutual conclusion of the process and I look 
forward to a long lasting business relationship with you. As you may
understand, due to my sensitive position in the present government, it is not 
safe to communicate with me via phone or fax.

This is why I have communicated with you with my private email address, and I 
like us to keep this way, for the safetyand success of this transaction.
Please contact me on this email address.  

whether or not you are interested in assisting us. This will enable us make 
alternative plans, in the event of non-interest on your part.

With warm regards,

Mrs. S. Shabangu.
