HELLO
As stated above, my name is jamel abdullha. I am 30 years
of age, and a stepson of the Angolan warlord and rebel
leader, Dr.Martin Nkosi.
My mother and I are interested in relocating to your
country, and venturing all of our funds in excess of some
US$32 million, all in US$100 bills; in your line of
business, and under your auspices. All funds having
being earmarked for the purchase of arms in South Africa,
and accrued from the sales of precious stones.
You are to take home 25% of the gross for all your
anticipated assistance by the time the funds are
successfully lodged in your nominated accounts overseas.
But first all we will need to know you more, and also we
would need to move the funds and of course
ourselves out of this place as soon as we can possibly
arrange that to be.
My mother and I have carefully worked out the modalities
for the eventual transfer. You are to participate as our
foreign partner in the scheme of arrangement.
My mother personally requested that I send this mail to
you. If this proposal should be of interest to you, kindly
signify your interest by replying through my
Email address or contact me through
my phonenumber +27-84-633-0340
Kindest regards,
Mr Jamel Abdullha
