Husband {former UNITA
Rebel leader} General Jonas Malheiro Savimbi deposited in a suspence
{protected} account few
months before he was assasinated by the Angolan Millitary forces. It's over
the issue of minerals
and there allocations using his power and influence to smuggle diamond to
the neighbouring
countries in exchange for money.
Presently, I am staying in Accra, Ghana with my three children just to save
our lives. The money
in question is $5,500,000.00 Milllion U.S.Dollars. I can't make make direct
withdrawal of this
fund,because my late husband has registered the beneficiary of the fund as
his (Foriegn Bussiness
Partner). But the documents of the deposit are with me. What I would want
you to do, is to
assist me claim the funds from the finance company as the Nominee
Beneficiary and have same
transfered to your place in your name. Then we will also relocate to share
the funds. Am prepared

balance of the money
for investiment in your country for the future of my children. If you are
intrested, and can
maintain the very confidentiality that this transaction entails, please
e-mail me back immediately for more clearification. The Angola government
through it's various agents has confisticated all my late
husband known properties since his death. You can find out more about my
late husband in the BBC news achives in the following news story:
