Well, I have heard of this before, but the first time I have actually
gotten one of these letters.

  MV content. I am looking at doing some business for the military
making parts, but I need to know where I can look up NSN #'s and
get drawings, etc for parts, bolts, etc. Any ideas?

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 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.

You may view my profile on the following link;
http://www.gov.za/profiles/shabangu.htm

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 Simon 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 husbands business which
was
very vast and successful. My beloved husband died whilst on an
official trip to Trinidad and Tobago in February 2001.

When my husband died, I was contacted as next of kin by a private
security firm in Europe to come forth with the Certificate of Deposit
and claim a safety deposit my husband has in their Vault in his
name.
At that time, my children and I did not have an idea where the
Certificate might be. We then instructed the security firm to continue
holding the safety deposit until further instructions from me. Whilst
preparing for the second remembrance of my beloved husband, I
was
going through his library collection and to my astonishment I
discovered a Certificate of Deposit for the safety deposit with firm,
and other documents relating to the safety deposit in a book. The
safety deposit which is a trunk, is stocked with hard currency (US
Dollars) totalling $10,500,000 (Ten Million Dollars Only) which was
generated from cash payments from his business associates in the
diamond trade from Antwerp, Belgium.

Though I knew my late husband was in the diamond business, I did
not
have the knowledge that he moved funds in cash. This came 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 safety deposit
containing the funds from the Security firm. Though I believe this
transaction should be based on mutuality, my family's interest will be
protected by a family associate, who is a lawyer(attorney) attached
to
the South African Embassy in the country where the security firm is
located. He is now aware of the safety deposit, and 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.

For your reliable assistance, we are offering you 20% of the funds. I
thank you in advance as we anticipate 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
governme mmunicate 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 safety of this
transaction.

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

With warm regards,

Mrs. S. Shabangu
