Dear ,
I know you will be surprised to read from me, especially when it comes from
a stranger. But please consider this as a request from a person in dare need
of assistance. Firstly, i must introduce myself; i am MR.MICHEAL SAVIMBI the
younger brother of the late GENERAL JONAS MELHEIRO SAVIMBI OF REPUBLIC OF
ANGOLA. The founder and leader of UNION OF TOTAL INDEPENDENCE OF ANGOLA
(UNITA). Who was killed on Friday 22nd February 2002 by forces loyal to
POPULAR MOVEMENTS FOR THE LEBERATION OF ANGOLA (MPLA) led government of JOSE
EDUARDO DOS SANTOS in Moxico province about 700km from the Capital Luanda.
After Angola gained independence from Portugal in 1975, General Savimbi
teamed up with the US and the former apartheid government of South Africa in
the process sustaining a civil war that had claimed more than 500,000 lives
and displaced about four million others. The only time there was little
peace in Angola was in 1992, when UNITA took part in elections in accordance
with Lusaka protocol, though the election was said to be free and fair by
the international community, but UNITA viewed it as been rigged by MPFL
party as a result we went back to the bush to resume the war.
Before the death of the General, I was responsible for the sales of Diamonds
for UNITA and finance control and also one of the General’s personal
advisers. I was always traveling secretly to different country mostly
African countries to negotiate for the sales of the rich diamonds on behalf
of UNITA and in some cases by arms for UNITA in return. I would have been
killed with my brother, if not for the fact that I traveled secretly to
South Africa to negotiate for the sales of diamonds as usual. I heard of my
brothers death while in South Africa through a state run radio and after
making several contacts to our bush base in Angola, his death was confirmed
and that a lot of his close aids was also killed. I feared for my life and
decided to stay back in South Africa. I am presently seeking for political
asylum here. I have decided to change my life and have been reflecting on my
past life as a rebel, thinking of thousands of live and property that have
been lost as a result of my ignorance, greed and lost for material gains and
asked God to forgive me. My main focuse now is my future as a Business man.
I got your address from the Johannesburg Chamber of commerce and industry
and after going through your profile, i decided to solicit for your
assistance to transfer the sum of US$16. 5M (SIXTEEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS) into your company/personal account for
investment purposes outside Africa. I deposited this money with a certain
Bank in South Africa during my previous trips to this Country to look for
buyers of our diamonds. As a result of the death of our leader and founder,
the war in Angola may come to an end and all UNITA’s assets may be frizzed
and if I do not transfer this money out right now to a deferent account
abroad I am going to forfeit the whole money. At present I am seeking
political asylum which authormaticaly means that my control of this money
have stopped in accordance with the financial and immigration rules of this
country. I contacted the bank manager with my problem, he advised me to look
for a foreign partner so that the name on the account will be changed to my
foreign partner’s name and afterwards the money will be transferred to his
account abroad. He promised to assist and co operate fully in the change of
ownership and the subsequent transfer to your account abroad. I shall give
you complete details regarding this account when you show interest in
assisting me.
From the above, you will understand that my life and my future depends on
this fund as such i will be grateful if you can assist me. Since the
financial rules and regulation of South Africa do not permit me financial
right to such huge amount of money. In view of this i can not invest this
fund in South Africa, hence i am prepared to offer you 20% total sum for
your assistance while 10% will be set aside for both local and international
expenses that may be incurred by both parties and 70% will be for my
Investment in your country with your able assistance. For more information
on this, please contact me in Johannesburg through this number or through
the above e-mail address.
Thanking you in advance for your assistance while I anxiously wait for your
reply.
Kind Regards,
Mr. MICHAEL SAVIMBI
