Subject: Hi/ from jessica
Good Day,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings,and I hope
this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising
this contact might seem to you, as we have not met personally or
had any dealings int he past, I humbly ask that you take due
consideration of its importance and immense benefit.I also
sincerely seek your confidence, as I make this proposal to you as a
person of integrity.First and foremost I wish to introduce
myselfproperly to you. My name is Mrs Jessica Savimbi, I am the
youngesst wife to Late Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, leader of UNITA
(National Union for the Total Independence of Angola). I got your
contact From The RecentAdvert directory My Husban was killed in a
battle with government forces of Angola, led by President Dos
Santos, on Friday 22nd February 2002. After his death,Mr. Antonio
Dembo who was his second in command, assumed office asleader of
UNITA, due to lack of the Charisma my husband had carried the party
with in Dembo, there was chaos and struggle forleadership.
Prominent members like Carlos Morgado lobbied to depose him and
assumeoffice as leader to enrich themselves and some of them who
saw me as a threat to their ambitions, including Mr.Dembo, planned
to kill me and my children. The tension and confusion in UNITA
became uncontrollablewhen Mr. Dembo died 10days after my husband
death. As I lost my mentor in this struggle which has been on for
three decades now, not so much of this struggle interests me
anymore, as there is now no sense of direction. I now desire a
peaceful life, as I am no more interested in conflicts and wars.
For this reason, I secretly left Angola to a place i cannot disclose with my
children.I am sincerely proposing to you to render me your highly
needed assistance in respect to safekeeping of some of my husband
money that arose from Diamonds sales. This money (US$5.5million),
which is deposited in the sundry account of a bank in a place i can
not disclose for now before the tragic incident of my
husband death occurred.
I then instructed the Bank to secure the fund pending further
instructions from me. I have waited for sometime now for security
reasons, and have now decided to act with your reliable assistance.
As a matter of fact, the reason I came to place i cannot disclose
because of security reason and sought for political asylum here is
owning to the the instability in my country and also to have the
fund transfered without the interferance of my government as the
monitor all transactionand and as much i cannot lodge the funds in
my name. Also I did not declare the funds to any authority for
obvious reasons there,I plan to use this money to safeguard my
future and that of my children. It is very essential that you
understand that the kind of trust and confidence I to put in you is
demanding, and an act of desperation on my part, in order not to
loose this money. Also, ensure that this contact with you should be
treated with utmost secrecy.
Your role in this project, is clearing the fund from the Bank
which isdeposited in my name,after which, the money will transfered
and lodged into an account in your country nominated by you.My
share of the money will be returned to me when my asylum
application in this country is granted, and I have permission to do
business and open an account here. For your reliable assistance, I
will reward you with 15% of the money.
Ihave with me, the Certificate of Deposit for the consignment
containing the funds, which will be used for claim from the Bank.
Also, everything will be legally processed for transfer of
ownership to you, and this transaction should be completed
immediately depending on your prompt response.I thank you in
advance as I anticipate your assistance in enabling me achieve this
goal.
Sincerely,
Mrs Jessica Savimbi.
