2002 by the opposing forces of Angolan army. For the past years now our
country have been in political crisis and conflits between the unita rebel
and goverment allied forces. As a matter of fact, before the death of
General Jonas Savimbi,l was given US$10million dollars for the purchasing of
Fire Arms and Armunations from Russia and a mini Lafeyette Frigate from
Ukraine.
I considered it a great opportunity as he is now late consphicated the
Package and diverted it to South African Nation where it has been
deposited in a Security Company on a special arrangement as a Treasure.
Therefore,my aim of contacting you is for you to assist me with your
personality and influence to transfer and secure the said treasure over to
your country, into your possession. I have the ambition of investing this
money and as well keeping a long lasting relationship with you.

three weeks l was sent on this assignment before his death. I would like to
appeal to you that time is not my friend as i am anxiously looking forward
for a responsible, reliable and honest person to act as my client or
beneficiary so that I will transfer this Treasure out of Africa because I am
not safe here in Africa. My dear, if you can sincerely assist me towards my
proposal, with all your trust, we shall discuss about your percentage share
first as soon as I receive your urgent and positive reply.

confidential as all the necessary documents and proves as regards to this
treasure will be forwarded to you on your request.Hoping that our
transaction will be considered with every confidentiality.
