Subject: I NEED YOUR URGENT REPLY
From Mrs. Susan Shabangu
Minister of Social Development,
Republic Of South Africa
Email: [email protected]
Good Day,
First, let me start by introducing myself My name is Mrs. Susan
Shabangu, I am visually impaired Widow, a mother of three children and
former Deputy Minister for Safety and Security of the Republic of
South Africa under the auspices of the former President of South
Africa, Mr.Jacob Zuma, and was formerly elected as Minister of Women
in the Presidency 03 June 2014 under the auspices of the new President
of South Africa, Mr.Cyril Ramaphosa and now presently the Minister of
Social Development from 2018-02-27. After due deliberation with my
children, I decided to contact you for your ass instance 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
(// and read about me.
THE PROPOSAL, after my swearing in ceremony making me the former
Minister of Safety and Security, my husband Mr. Ndebele Shabangu died
while he was on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago. After his
death, I discovered that he had some funds in a dollar account which
amounted to the sum of US$30.5Million 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 your 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 security company 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 either by coming down to South Africa in person or provide
your complete bank details information, so that these funds could be
wired directly into your overseas account 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.
Also, I can give you my banker phone number so that you can contact
him and discuss with him directly as he already promised to use his
position to move this fund out of South Africa, its okay and fine by
me. Please I do not need to remind you of the need for absolute
Confidentiality of this transaction.
My regards to your family,
Mrs. Susan Shabangu.
