Subject: CAN YOU BE TRUSTED???
Goodday,
I know that this letter will come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we
have not yet met each other before, but please I will like you to consider my
present family troubles and be rest assured that there is no cause for alarm.
Please put yourself in my position and help me the way you will expect people to
assist you to redeem your family's wealth. It is my humble pleasure to write this
letter irrespective of the fact that you do not know me. However, I came to know
of you in my private search for a reliable and trustworthy person that can handle
a confidential transaction of this nature in respect of this, I got your contact
through an uprooted search on the internet. Though I know that a transaction of
this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you
that all will be well at the end of the day I am Mr.Samuel Savimbi, son of the
late rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of February
2002. Presently, I am desperately looking for a trustworthy person to assist me in
this confidential business.
My late father, Jonas Savimbi lodged huge sums of money realized from the sales of
diamonds and other precious stones / metals in different banks in Overseas. My
father is presently no more, and the movement of his family members (including me)
is highly restricted, all his bank accounts and properties have been frozen and
seized. We are forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our immediate
localities. Presently, I have just discovered a huge deposit made by my father
from the money realized from the last sales of diamonds before is death .
My father had deposited this money as diplomatic consignment with a security firm
in Oversea, I have called the security firm and they have confirm to me that the
consignment is with them. I have all the documents with me right now that is be
needed to collect the consignment from the security firm, my father has instructed
the security firm in his deposit request to release consignment to any three
family members which includes myself, my mother and only sister who is also dead
incase of emergency or death.Right now my family has given me the authority to do
everything possible to get the consignment out as this is the only hope we have
now to bring the family out of its present poor financial state.
I am therefore soliciting your help to have this consignment collected by you and
the funds transferred into your account. I will give you all the necessary
documentations to facilitate your collection of the consignment personally. The
government has no or will never have knowledge of this business, so there is no
need to be worried about your safety. I guarantee you your safety.Once I have your
complete assurance that you can handle this, I will immediately send to you the
relevant documents that will enable you take possession of the consignments. This
will include certificate of deposit and shipment airway bill and all other
relevant documents.
However, in return for all your assistance we have decided to offer you 15% of the
total amount of money as your share and 5% for all your expenses which will
include your travel expenses and every other expenses you incure in the cause of
this transaction, such as your telephone bills etc,this makes a total of 20% my
family has agreed to give to you for helping us secure the money. I am waiting for
your response to enable us proceed.
PLEASE REPLY TO MY CONFIDENTIAL EMAIL ADDRESS : savimbisamuel2003@yahoo.fr
Regards,
samuel Savimbi.
