DEAR Sir/Madam,
GOOD DAY
I know this letter will come to you as a surprise. But consider it a letter
for plea with goodwill for a mutual assistance. I managed to get your
contact info online at the South African information exchange here in
Johannesburg South Africa. Hence I did not waste time to contact you on this
business proposal.
First I deem it important to introduce myself. I am Mr.PAUL SAVIMBI, the
first son of the third wife of late JONAS SAVIMBI the rebel leader of the
ANGOLAN UNITA REBBEL FORCE., who was assassinated on Friday 22nd February
2002. By Angolan Government army if you do watch CNN, you will realize this
is on the news.Unfortunately for me, my mother is the third wife of my late
father JONAS SAVIMBI and as such we were not all treated fairly in the
family. Not withstanding my father’s political ideology, which I prayed him
to change before his apparent death. All my father's assets and properties
were dominated by his first wife and her son who was hoping to succeeds my
late father as the next president of Angola if he was able to surpasses the
incumbent president Jose Eduardo dos Santos. In spite of their dominance, I
still maintained close contact with my late father, which eventually just
paid off.Following the news of his death and the confirmation on our
national radio, the entire Family was in disarray. Fortunately for me, on
the day of the incident, I was in my Father's private house in Luena, Moxico
province.
Firstly, I wept over his death and then I thought of my future. it was then
I started searching for important documents and valuables, because I know
very well that my father used to exchange diamond for arms from foreign
companies. Eventually I ran into one of these important documents.As God has
planned for me, it happened that my father deposited a diplomatic box in my
name with a private security firm in South Africa. I could not believe this
when I picked up the documents referred to here as the "DEED OF LODGE" My
father secured (FOUTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS{US$45 Million},
which was acquired from the sale of diamond. on discovering this documents,
I immediately packed my few belongings and made my way to Zimbabwe with it,
from there I came to South African Republic where am presently residing. an
is were this money is deposited.
Meanwhile the rest of my family was still busy mourning the death of my
father. Nobody knew my where about or why I fled the country. Right now, I
want you to assist me to transfer this money into your account in your
country, where I will invest it in any lucrative business as you may advise
me. For your assistance I will offer you 30% and 10% will be set aside for
expenses we may incur in the process of the transfer.while the rest 60% will
be for innvetment for me and my family from my mothers.Should this letter
receive your honor, please do not hesitate to contact me on my direct
number: 27-73-195-4029. and most important you should keep everything
secret until the money leaves South Africa and is in your account.
I wait anxiously to hear from you
Best regards
Mr.PAUL SAVIMBI.
