Subject: HELP ME AND MY FAMILY



Dear Friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met,but it

should'nt,since we are determined to get what rightly belongs to us anyhow,but soon when every

thing goes according to plan.The message could be strange but reality will definitely dawn on

you, if you pay some attention to it's content. I would'nt have notified you but for the sake of

your integrity and goodwill.Please accept my sincere apologies.In bringing thismessage to you, I

have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any personal pains or discomfort. I am

Mr.Samuel Savimbi, son of the late rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola who was killed on the

22nd of february 2002.We are desperately looking for a trustworthy person to assist us in this

confidential business.My late father, Jonas Savimbi deposited huge sums of money realised from

the sale of diamonds and other precious stones /metals in different banks in Europe.My father is

presently no m ore,and the move! m! ent of his family member (including me) is highly restricted.

We are forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our immediate localities. Presently, the money

realised from those sails amounting to US$25,500,000.00(TWENTY-FIVE MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND

DOLLARS), which my father realised ,and was transfered to Netherlands, is safe in a security firm

over there.Before you can get access to it you have to be given the password and the Personal

indentification numbers (PINNo:) of the consignment deposited.I am therefore soliciting your help

to have this money collected by you and transfered into your account,as we would give you the

neccesary documentations to facilitate your collection of the consignment personally in

Amsterdam, before the government gets wind of this arrangement.You know my father was a rebel

leader in his life time before his death. My reason for doing this is because it will be

difficult for the Angolan Governme nt to trace my father's money to an indi! vid! ual's

account,especially when such an individual bears no blood relationship with us,I have decided to

keep that money for myfamily's use. Presently the money is still in that Security Company in the

Netherlands. I am currently and temporarily living in Luanda with my familyseeking for my refugee

status,moreover the political climate in Angola at the moment is very tense,sensitive and

unstable.With this password and informations that we will give you,together with the Power of

Attorney,you will then proceed to the security firm,and these will facilitate your collection of

the consignment.You have to proceed personally to Netherlands where after fulfiling their

requirements US$25,500,000.00 will be released to you in the two large trunk boxes that it was

deposited in,after which we may likely ask you to come over with some money for us to run away

from here at least for now into one of these European countries. You can have th e fund

transferred into any account that suits! you ! after your personal collection of the

consignment,until further instructions are given. Email me at sammydeo@velocall.com.PLEASE YOUR

CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY REQUIRED. Thank you very much for your time and

understanding. Yours sincerely, Mr.SAMUEL SAVIMBI
