Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU?
From:Sir.William Penn,
My name is Sir.William Penn , Retired Colonel and ADC ( Military
Assistant) to Late Jonas Savimbi UNITA Leader,from diamond rich area of
Eastern part of Angola and with due respect and humility I write this
proposal which I believe would be of great interest and benefit to you.
Late Jonas Savimbi(DECEASED); Angola's Jonas Savimbi, legendary guerrilla
leader of UNITA (the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola), who was
killed by communist MPLA (Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola)
forces in combat Feb. 2002 ., I do seriously need your help because I am disabled
from a motor accident and cannot travel abroad on Doctor's orders.
In addition to my official job at that time , I was also in charge of
the consolidated budget and personal finances of the late leader; these
include Gifts, anonymous donations from individuals and Countries;Also
revenues from Crude Oil sales and Diamond/Precious Stones etc. In the
wake of the civil war we have accumulated a huge sum from the sale of
Diamonds and Crude Oil sales , I was instructed by the Late Jonas Savimbi to move
away from Angola shores a total sum of $46.2 million U.S Dollars in a
Security Safe Deposit Vault for fear of being confiscated. This
operation I have successfully carried out with the help of a Shipping company in my
Country.
On 23nd December, I and my whole family was involved in a very bad
accident on our way home to our Village at umafu , about 800 km from the
capital of Angola I lost my entire family in the accident, and I myself fell into a
coma since then.
I eventually recovered from coma, and was discharged from the hospital
two weeks ago. I have no money withwhich to sponsor any one in Angola to
undertake the trip for me; in any case , my extended family here
abandoned me in hospital .Unfortunately for me, after Jonas Savimbi's
death, my personal safety and life came under threat by Government Security Agents, who promptly frozen my Bank
Accounts . I am currently living on the charity of the church. And now,
I need your help to collect this money in London and invest it in a
profitable venture abroad;
I cannot bring in this money into Angola for fear of
seizure by the Government. If the money is properly and profitably
invested abroad , I intend to leave Angola permanently.Can I count on
your help? If you agree to help me, I will send you by Post/courier the ELECTRONIC
CARD KEY CODE NUMBER of my vault so that you can travel to London and open
the vault; You will then remove the money total $46.2 million U.S Dollars
and transfer it to your Bank Account. For your help and assistance, you will keep 25% of the money for your self and keep
75% for me in safe custody until I travel to meet you and invest my
share?If you agree to help me, please reply giving me the following
information:
1. Your Complete name and Street (POSTAL) address
2. Your Phone and fax number, including mobile
3. Your confidential email address
TO PREVENT THE KEY AGAINST LOSS IN TRANSIT, PLEASE KINDLY STATE YOUR
CORRECT NAME AND STREET ADDRESS. Once I receive your reply stating your
street postal address as above, I will send you the Safe DepositVault Key by EXPRESS MAIL, and I will also forward to you more details of this
transaction by email. Detailswill include the address, contact details including the website of the Safe
Deposit Company in Londonwhere my money is currently stored.
