Jonas Malheiro Savimbi deposited with security company in the U.K few months
before he was assassinated by the Angolan Military forces. As you must have
read in the papers he was assassinated over the issue of minerals and there
allocations, he was accused of using his power and influence to smuggle diamond
to the neighboring countries in exchange for money. Presently, I am staying
outside Angola just to save my life, with three of my other siblings.
The money in question is $10,500,000.00 Million U.S. Dollars. I can't make
direct withdrawal of this fund, because my father had registered the beneficiary
of the fund as his (Foreign Business Partner). But the documents of the deposit
are with me. What I would want you to do, is to assist me to get the funds
withdrawn from the Security company and transferring same to your country.

any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me urgently by Email:edgarworkson1@yahoo.co.uk
