Dear friend
My proposal to you will be very surprising as we have not had any personal
contact. However I sincerely seek your confidence in this transaction which
I propose to you as a person of transparency and caliber.
Let me first start by introducing myself properly to you My name is Carlos
Savimbi nephew and Personal Assistant of Jonas Malheiro Savimbi the leader
UNITA (National Union for the Total independence of Angola) I got your email
address from network directory I apologize if I infringed on your privacy.
You may know that my Uncle was recently killed in a battle with the
government troops of Angola led by President Dos Santos on friday 22nd
February 2002 Now Mr Antonio Dembo who was my Uncle's second in command has
assumed office as leader of UNITA In spite of this UNITA is like a herd of
cattle without shepherd Prominent members like Carlos Morgado are still
lobbying to oust him and assume office as leader to enrich themselves and
some of them who see me as a threat to their ambitions including Mr Dembo
are planning to kill me For more information check www.angola.org However I
am a young man who has ambitions and I am not in any way interested in wars
this is why I secretly left Angola to seek political asylum I am sincerely
seeking for your urgent help in respect to safekeeping of some of my Uncle's
money that arose from Diamonds sales This money US$20 million was already on
its way to my Uncle's Swiss Bank account It was on transit with a safe
deposit company in Europe when the tragic incident of my Uncle's death
occurred. As a matter of fact this is the reason I chose to come and seek
political asylum.
It is very clear with the way things are now that President Dos Santos will
lobby the International Community to freeze my Uncle's assets and accounts
abroad to ground UNITA since he has already done this in Angola. I plan to
use this money to safeguard my future It is very essential that
youunderstand that the kind of trust and confidence I want to put in you is
extraordinary and an act of desperation on my part in order not to lose
this money Please treat this contact with utmost secrecy and confidentiality
for security and safety reasons.
The help I need from you is clearing the box containing the money from the
security company after which it will be deposited in an account in your
name.
The money shall remain in your custody till my asylum application is granted
and I have the permit to conduct business then you will transfer the account
to me Meanwhile the money can be invested into risk-free profitable ventures
and there will an agreement to protect my interest.
I have all the documents that will enable you claim the consignment from the
security company.
To make this deal relisable i need a committment from you that it will be
kept confidential,your tel and fax numbers including mobile for easy
communications,your permanent address as well as some form of
identification. For your reliable assistance I will reward you with 20% of
the money and we shall use 5% to carry out every expenses that we incurr
during the transaction and the investment process. 75%shall be for my
family. I thank you in advance in anticipation for your assistance in
enabling me achieve this goal. Please contact me whether or not you are
interested in assisting me. This will enable me scout for another partner in
the event of non-interest on your part. Please reply to carlsavimbi@epatra.com NOTE YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE WILL BE APPRECIATED.
