Subject: HELP PLEASE
Dear Friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise but I really prayed to God
to help me choose somebody that will be my true partner. My name is Augusto
Nandu Savimbi. I am the first son of Mr. Jonas Savinbi, the leader of
the UNITA movement in Angola. May be you know that my father was killed
recently in Angola by the Angola Government soldiers and has been buried.
Two weeks before he died (May be he know he will die) he called me and
showed me a box containing US$ 35 million and some Diamond value about
US$18 million. He send the box to a security company overseas in one
country in the West, for safe keeping with a false name. He give me the
certificate of deposit and the code number. With that I collect the box
anytime I want. Now I want because my father is dead and I need the
money to take care of my family left behind of about five wives and twenty
five children. I am now hiding as the government of Angola look for me to
kill and also the former commanders of my father want to get me also. I have
to be careful of my movement that is why I need your help to get the box and
keep it
until I can escape and meet you and you help me invest the money in your
country or where it is good. I will give you the power to collect the
box on my behalf when you tell me in your reply that you will help me and I
can trust you. I don t trust anybody in Angola. With the certificate and the
code I will give you, no problem to collect box. You don't worry about
risk to you as only me, my dead father and the security company in the
Western country know about this box. But I want you to keep this secret as
there
are some enemies of my father is your country who are friends to the
government of Angola. The name of the country where the box is in the
West and how much I will give you for help, I will tell you when I get your
answer. I await your quick answer. Sorry for poor english.
Thank you.
August Nandu Savimbi
