Dear sir/madam
Please permit me to write you irrespective of the fact we have not met before. I come in contact with your address through a good friend of my husband who works with South African chamber of commerce when I was scouting for a reliable and interested partner who I can do business with. He suggested you as honest, trustworthy and an astitute businessman with whom one can do business with. Although I did not disclose the nature of business I intend to do with you to him due to the nature of this business.
My name is Mrs. Elizabeth Oliver from Angola as indicated above. I am the wife of the Late Brigadier Arnold Oliver. My husband was a Brigadier in charge of Arms and Ammunitions procurement in the Angolan Army.
In his "Will" he specifically drew my attention to US$6.4M. Which he deposited in a safe box in a private security company in Johannesburg South Africa, as a treasure box, fully documented in our first son’s name (Mr. David Oliver).
IN FACT MY HUSBAND SAID AND I QUOTE:
My beloved son, I wish to draw your attention to US$6.4 M (Six Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars).I deposited the box containing this fund in a private security company in Johannesburg South Africa. During the war I was very dedicated and committed to winning the war against the rebels until when I found out that senior army officers and top government functionaries were busy
helping themselves with government funds and properties and sending them to foreign countries. Due to this when I was assigned by the President (President Eduardo Santos) to purchase Arms from South
Africa, I have this as a golden opportunity because there is no other person aware of this arms deal except I and the President, I decided and diverted the fund for my personal use. In case of my absence on earth as a result of death only, you should solicit
for the transfer of the fund out of this shore for investment purposes.
>From the above you will understand that the lives and future of my family depends on this fund, as such I will be grateful if you can assist us in this respect.
We are now living in South Africa as political Asylum Seekers and the Financial Laws and regulations of the Republic of South Africa do not permit us financial rights to such a huge amount of money. In view of this, I cannot invest this fund in South Africa hence I solicit for your assistant to help us transfer this fund to your overseas account for any investment which you will advice us. I am prepared to offer you 20% of the total fund for your help in this transacton.
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we have established trust and confidence between our selves. in your reply remember to include your direct telephone for easier and more confidential discussion.
Should you have any question, feel free to ask me, but treat this transaction with absolute confidentiality.
Yours sincerely
Mrs. Elizabeth Oliver
