Subject: HUMBLE ASSISTANCE
NELSON STREET,
SANDTON, JOHANSSEBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
ATTENTION:
Dear Sir,
I know you will be surprise to receive this message,but please consider this
as a request from a family in dire need of assistance. I am MRS.GLADYS
SAVIMBI from Angola, wife of late Major General JONAS SAVIMBI.
A carrier diplomat whom I consulted in my search for a reliable
company/individual who can assist me in transferring a reasonable sum of
money abroad introduced you to me. I on behalf of my son MILTON SAVIMBI
decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of US21M
(Twenty-one Million United State Dollars) inherited from my late husband
into your company or personal account.
Before the death of my husband, he was the leader of the UNITA,That was
fighting a just war with the Government of EDURADO SANTOS for the liberation
of his people the southern region of Angola who are rich in diamond and gold
but due to the fact that they are the minority tribe in angola they were
being oppress and surpress by the people of the north which lead them to
demand for their human rigths which lead to the 30 years civil war between
my husband and the government of EDURADO SANTOS.
In his Will he specifically drew my attention to US21M that he deposited in
a safe box with a private Security company in JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA,
with MILTON SAVIMBI his only son as the beneficiary. Part of the WILL read
My son MILTON, during the war I dedicated myself to the service of realising
the ambition of our people by achieving their goal of having their own
country,incase i die in this struggle for our people i will like you to know
that i love you and your sister,and i will like you to take good care of the
family,but do not stay in Angola to continue this war,take your mother and
sister to South Africa and seek assylum . l deposited the some of twenty
one million united states dollars[US21M]in your name.
In case of my absence as a result of death only, you should solicit for the
assistance of a reliable and a foreign partner to assist you in transferring
this money out of South Africa for investment purpose. I deposited a box in
your name and you alone with the deposit code can claim it. Your mother is
with all the documents concerning the deposit. Therefore, if you are
willing and interested to assist us, I and my son have agreed to give you
25% of the total amount, 5% for any expenses that may be incurred during the
process of transaction, while the remaining 70% will be for the family
investment.
Further information and agreement will commence as soon as trust, confidence
and good relationship are established and the safety of this fund when
transferred to your account is guaranteed.
So if you are willing to assist us, you can contact my son Milton with his
direct phone number73-188-7762 and fax number 73-362-7869 or his email:
miltsavhotmail.com.This is highly confidential and the success of this
business depends on how secret it is kept,considering my husband's position
and also the angola's government position against the family
Expecting your soonest reply.
Best Regards,
Mrs.Gladys Savimbi.
