Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

FROM MRS. SUSAN SHABANGU
Deputy Minister of Safety & Security,
South Africa.

Dear Sir/madam
First, let me start by introducing myself as MRS SUSAN SHABANGU, a mother of
three children and the Deputy Minister of Safety and Security since 29th
April 1996 to date under the auspices of the President of South Africa MR
THABO MBEKI.

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) You can view my
profile at my website www.gov.za click on, Contact Information, then click
on Deputy Minister, and click on Safety and Security finally, click on my
name susan shabangu and read about me.
THE PROPOSAL, After the swearing in ceremony making me the Deputy Minister
of Safety and Security, 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 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 you a 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 bank
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 in opening an account with bankers through my banker
so that this fund could be wired into your account directly without any
hitch. As soon as the fund gets to your account, 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,
PLEASE DO NOT CALL ON THE OFFICE LINE, BECAUSE OF THE SENSITIVITY OF THIS
TRANSACTION EXCEPT OF THE ABOVE DIRECT LINE.
I prefer you send me email than call. All correspondence must be by email to
my private email address,
{shahangu_su2@yahoo.com } If you want to speak with my Banker, that is fine
and okay by me. You will have to send down you private telephone /fax number
so that i can forward it to him to reach you from time to time this is for
security reasons. Please I do not need to remind you of the need for
absolute Confidentiality of this transaction must succeed. 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 Safety & Security,
South Africa.
