ATTN: The Managing Director,
My mom and I have decided to send forth to you this proposal after some due deliberation. My name is ADAMS PETER SAVIMBI from Angola and the Step-son of the Angolan UNITA Rebel Warlord, DR. JONAS SAVIMBI. My mother Katrina and father Dr. J. Savimbi parted ways at the heat of the war some years ago and since then we are on Asylum, living in Pretoria the administrative capital of South Africa under the auspice of United Nation High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)
I am writing principally to invite hand partnership in assisting us to transfer our funds, running into several millions of America Dollar with value US$30. Million (Thirty Million United State Dollars) out of South Africa to any where preferred by you for investment purposes.
We have made advance arrangements with a highly placed individual in South Africa Government to help transfer the funds. As a matter of fact, he works in the bank. You are only expected to present yourself in person during the course of the transfer process as the beneficiary of the funds. Neither she nor I could present ourselves as regards to our status as refugees here in South Africa. We are made to understand that the whole transaction will last for three (3 working days) from the date of your arrival after an application for transfer.
To be frank with you, all these funds have been ear-marketed for the purchase of arms in South Africa for UNITA Rebel Movement. And was accrued from illegal exportation of Diamonds to Rwanda, Belgium and other Countries, but was neatly diverted by my mom on sensing that the war back home was as good as lost. Under good and concrete arrangement, she have moved and deposited these funds to a security firm here under the pretence of Jewelry.
You will be compensated satisfactory as we are setting aside a commission of 20% for all anticipated effort in helping us realize this project. Although we chosen you based on this information we received from your company’s profile in your country’s embassy abroad, as a trusted outfit that can successfully handle this deal.
However, we will require you to furnish us with your background information and professional resume. Our intention is to relocate and invest our shares in your country on completion. Kindly maintain the secrecy and confidentiality this business requires, as failure could jeopardize both this transaction and our security. In case you decide to seal this captivating project with us, we will furnish you with all, the necessary information you may require from us including the proof of deposit. Contact me now via telephone or email given above.
Yours Truly,
ADAMS P. SAVIMBI
