Dear Sir,
I strongly believe that this message would come to you as a surprise. In
fact, it is in respect of the strict confidence given to me that you are
honest and versatile in business that motivated my interest to seek your
co-operation in this transaction. My father is late General Antonio Dembo the former
Vice president of UNITA rebels in Angola. He was the Chairman of Angolan
Petroleum Monitoring Committee (APMC) 1992 to 2002. Sadly, he died after an
injury sustained during the ambush on The UNITA rebel on 25th February 2002
where the President of UNITA, Dr. Jonas Savimbi was killed. As you might have
known, Petroleum is the major revenue source in Angola (Southern Africa). My
father made a lot of money through the job but could not invest the money
immediately to avoid probe by the military government. He was able to save the sum
of $60,000,000.0 (Sixty-Million United States Dollars). He deposited this
sum with a security firm in Johannesburg in South Africa. The documents
used in these depositions, together with the key of the safe, are with my
mother.
In my father’s will, he instructed that this money must be
invested overseas with the help of a foreigner who is reliable and trustworthy.
So as to avoid probe by the federal government of Angola, since he was a
general in the warm torn Angola, and could not have amassed such wealth
legally.
With his death, I came to South Africa to live with my mother as a
refugee but the violence and high incidence of robbery and murder here is
alarming. Hence, I am contacting you to assist my mother and me in relocating to
your Country. Consequently, I now seek your cooperation to come to South
Africa so that we can open a company account with your Company name here in
Johannesburg, and then the Security company can deposit the money into the Company
account for transfer to any account which you may provide. Again, whereby you
can not come to South Africa we can improvise another means to get the
funds into your account.
My mother and I have agreed to give 20% of the total sum to you while
70% will be for us then, the remaining 5% will be used to offset the bills
incurred in the Course of the transfer while 5% will be for charity.
The most important thing is to assist us to relocate to your country to
live. However you are advised to reply me by mail or you call using
+27732863707. When I receive all your favorable reply you will be given all necessary
details and documents.
Thanks for your co-operation.
Daniel Dembo Jr. (Dr)
