Dear Sir,
With warm heart we offer our friendship and greetings, and we 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,
we humbly ask that you take dueconsideration of its importance and immense
benefit we also sincerely seek your confidence, as we make this proposal to
you as a person of integrity.
First and foremost We wish to introduce our selves properly to you. My name
is Mr S. Elijah and Rose Savimbi, We are the children of Late Jonas Malheiro
Savimbi, leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of
Angola). As led by my instinct, We selected your email address from an
internet directory,in our search for a partner, hence this email.
My Father was killed in a battle with government forces of Angola, led by
President Dos Santos, on Friday 22nd February 2002. After his death, Mr.
Antonio Dembo who was his second in command, assumed office as leader of
UNITA, due to lack of the charisma my Father had carried the party with in
Dembo, there was chaos and struggle for leadership.
Prominent members like Carlos Morgado lobbied to depose him and assume
office as leader to enrich themselves and some of them who saw me as a
threat to their ambitions, including Mr. Dembo, planned to kill us. The
tension and confusion in UNITA become uncontrollable when Mr. Dembo died
10days after my Father's death. We secretly left Angola to another country
to seek political asylum. I will disclose our location when we know each
other better.
We are sincerely proposing to you to render us your highly needed assistance
in respect to safekeeping of some of my Father's money that arose from
Diamonds sales.This money Thirty Million United State
Dollar(US$30.000.000.00), was deposited in a Security Vault company Since
2001 before the tragic death of my Father occurred.
He placed this money in a trunk box and deposited it with the security
company here as family valuables and african artworks. His reason for this
was to give adequate security to the money until his foreign partner comes
for the claim of the box. The security company does not know the real
content of the box.
President Dos Santos has lobbied the International Community to freeze my
Father's assets and accounts abroad, to ground UNITA, and has already done
this in Angola. We plan to use this money to safeguard our future, it is
very essential that you understand that the kind of trust and confidence we
want to put in you is extraordinary, and an act of desperation on my part,
inorder not to lose this money. Also, ensure that this contact with you
should be treated with utmost secrecy.
PLease We are Honourably seeking your assistance in
the following ways:-
1). TO COME DOWN HERE FOR A THREE WORKING DAY VISIT SO THAT BOTH OF US WILL
GO TO THE SECURITY COMPANY TOGETHER AND MAKE THE CLAIM OF THE BOX AS MY LATE
FATHER'S FOREIGN PARTNER.
2)TO PROVIDE A BANK ACCOUNT WHERE THIS MONEY WOULD BE DEPOSITED IN YOUR
COUNTRY.
3)TO SERVE AS THE GUARDIAN OF THIS FUND SINCE I AM A BOY OF 22 AND MY SISTER
IS 18 YEARS.
4)TO MAKE ARRANGEMENT FOR ME AND MY SISTER TO COME OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY
AFTER THE MONEY HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO YOU.
Moreover , We are willing to offer you 10% of the total sum as compensation
for your effort /input after the successful transfer of this fund to your
Norminated account overseas.
This transaction should be completed immediately depending on your prompt
response. We thank you in advance as we anticipate your assistance in
enabling us achieve this goal.To know more about the struggle by UNITA to
