Abu-Dhabi United Arab Emirates.
Good day to you my friend.
It is a pleasure to contact you at this important time for a positive business transaction. However, I got your contact through a search on the internet website and your profile got me convinced of your competence in business.
I am Mr. Stephane Savimbi, a brother to the late General Jonas Savimbi leader of the Angolan former unita rebel leader who was shot dead on Tuesday 26th February 2002 by the opposing forces of Angolan army. See this site for more detail,
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1839252.stm>
For the past years now our country has been in political crisis and conflicts between the unita rebel and government allied forces. As a matter of fact, before the death of General Jonas Savimbi, l was given (FIVE MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND US Dollars) US$5.8 million dollars for the purchasing of Fire Arms and Ammunition from Russia and a mini Lafayette Frigate from Ukraine.
I considered it a great opportunity as he is now late and I therefore decided to confiscate the Package and diverted the money to Libreville Gabon in central African Nation where it has been deposited in a Security Company on a special arrangement as a Treasure Box. Therefore, my aim of contacting you is for you to assist me with your personality and influence to transfer and secure the said treasure over to your country into your possession.
I have the ambition of investing this money and as well keeping a long lasting relationship with you. Presently, I am in Abu-Dhabi United Arab Emirates capital city Gulf Region Middle-East where I have been in hideout since his death. I would like to appeal to you that time is not my friend as I am anxiously looking forward for a responsible, reliable and honest person to act as my client/ beneficiary so that I will transfer this Treasure out of Africa because I am afraid that Africa is no longer safe for me.
My dear, if you can sincerely assist me towards my proposal with all your trust to save guard this fund. I have agreed that 30% commission of the total money will be given to you for the work well done and 10% has also been set aside for expenses incurred from both side during the transaction and the remaining 60% will be for me.
Please kindly, handle this proposal with your utmost secrecy and Confidential as all the necessary documents and proves as regards to this treasure will be forwarded to you on your request. Hoping that our transaction will be considered with every confidentiality.
Expecting your immediate response.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Stephane Savimbi
