founder and leader of [U.N.I.T.A.] movement in ANGOLA, who unfortunately
died earlier last year.He was murdered by Government forces during an
ambush,any way He died fighting for a cause,He believed in liberation of his
people.The war is still raging on and His allies has vowed that His death
will not be in vain well dont be surprise how I got your e-mail,I got it
from South Africa email electronic information exchange [S.A.I.E] /World
Trade Center here in Johannesburg.
Now my aim of writting this proposal to you is that since the death of my
father,I have now moved over to south Africa where I myself and my mother
with my two of my junior brothers were granted as a political Asylum
refugee family .My late father as if he fore sees his death he took a large
sum of money to Johannesburg which this money was taken in cash to South
Africa through the diplomatic box in other to avoid scandal or seizure.He
deposited this money with a security and finance company here in
Johannesburg South Africa as a consignment of precious stone and diamonds
which I have all the documents relating to this deposited fund and
transaction which he keept in my name and the name of my beloved
mother.Actually the security company does not know that the content in this
box is money which he did to avoid too much charges and demurrage by this
concern bank security company.Which he gets the idea through his Lawyer and
adviser Barristter larry Williams .
Now I myself as his son whoms the documents of the fund is bearing my name
and the name of my mother have decided to transfer this huge amount of money
out of this South Africa to a foreign account for investment for the future
of my family .I'm saddled with the responsibility of my family up bring.So
I'm seeking from you an assistance as the amount involved is Thirty six
millons five hundred thousand U.S dollars[36.5m U.S. D.].I want you to
assist me to transfer this money into your foreign account in your name
because my asylum status does not allow me to do it probly. This transfer
means entrusting my future and that of my family into your hand if you will
be truthfull and honesty of not sitting on my money when gets to your
account in your country. Therefore if you are willing to assist me to hold
this money on trust,you have to accept to come down here for formalization
of this fund.
I am also willing to accept any condition you may deem suitable for Your
effort.But I can conceed 20% of the money to you or we may go into
patnership if you so desire. But before we proceed we have to create
relationship between one another to trust each other .So it is still
negotiable.I want to assure you that this transaction is real,safe and risk
free,as you are dealing with a responsible and a respectable woman and his
son .I hope my trust and my confidence in you will not be betrayed. Thank
you for your co-oparation and understanding .Please remember that this is
highly confidential beacuse you the only one I have contacted for this
through this electronic message. So I need Your urgent response and it will
be highly appreciated but please include your phone and fax numbers for more
informations and easier communications.
