Subject: LETS WORK TOGETHER
FROM:STANLEY SAVIMBI
TEL:+27-72-792-6848
ATTN: DIRECTOR/C.E.O,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the
fact that we have not met each other before. The
message could be strange but real if you pay some
attention to it. I could have notified you about it at
least for the sake of your integrity. Please accept my
sincere apologies. In bringing this message of good
will to you, which will be beneficial to all of us
involved.
I am Mr. STAN SAVIMBI, the son of the late rebel
leader Mr. JONAH SAVIMBI, of Angola who was killed on
the 22nd of February 2002. I managed to get your
contact details through The World Business Journal", a
journal of the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce in
South Africa in the time I was desperately looking for
a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential
business. After the death of my father, my mother
called me and narrated to me how my father deposited
the sum of (US$19,500,000.00) Nineteen Million Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars with a private
security company here in Johannesburg South Africa.
She also gave me all the documents related to this
deposited money as proof of deposit, which no other
person or the government in power in my country knows
about it. After the death of my father, the movement
of his family members (including me) was restricted in
my country Angola. We were forbidden to either travel
abroad or out of our localities, but as the first and
only son, I was able to find my way out of the country
to South Africa where this money was been deposited
for safekeeping.
Before any thing I will like you to promise
me that after you receive this money into your account
you will not disappear with the money or cheat us, as
this is our life, I am therefore soliciting your help
to have this money transferred into your account.
Before my government get wind of this fund .as I said
earlier my father was a rebel leader in Angola before
his death .
My reason for doing this is because it will be
difficult for the Angolan government to trace my
father's money to an individual's account, especially
when such an individual has no relationship with my
family, I decided to keep this money for my family
use. At present the money is deposited in Security
Company. I am presently and temporarily an asylum
seeker (refugee)here in south africa and because of my
refugee status the law does not permit me to operate
an account or invest this money here. In this regards,
As you are interested in helping us you try and
contact me very urgently with the above telephone or
through my e-mail address indicating your interest in
helping us. Also include your private telephone and
fax numbers for confidential communication. I will
then furnish you with more details. We agreed to offer
you 25% of the total amount for helping us to move
this money to a safe destination. Be informed that
this transaction needs utmost trust and
confidentiality. Note also that the transaction
attracts no risk on your side. Looking forward to
receiving your urgent reply.
God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
MR. STANLEY SAVIMBI
