Subject: BUSINESS RELTIONSHIP
Dear Friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. 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 goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains.
I am Paul Savimbi, son of the late leader of the rebel movement UNITA in Angola, Jonas Savimbi. Who was killed on the 22nd of February 2002. I managed to get your contact details through “The Web Bulletin Board” from an Internet marketing Co; on the Internet, at this time that I am in desperate need for a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential transaction. My late father, Jonas Savimbi was able to deposit large sums of money in different banks in Europe. My father is presently dead and the movement of his family members (including me) is restricted.
We are forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our localities. Presently, the US$14,560,000.00 (FOURTEEN- MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS) my father transferred to Europe is safe in a security firm. Before you can get access to it I have to give you the password. I am therefore soliciting your help to have this money transferred into your account or any that you will provide. Before my government get wind of this fund.
You know my father was the head of a rebel movement 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 father before his death. I decided to keep that money for my family use. At present the money is kept in a Security Company in Europe.
I am currently and temporarily living in Angola with my family. My brother who has a temporary refugee status in West African(NIGERIA), will work with you on my behalf from there. Due to the political climate in Angola at the moment being so sensitive and unstable for my family and me.
With this password and documents I will send to you via my brother, when you are ready I will give you the information needed on how you can get access to this fund. You will then proceed to the Security Company in Europe where the US$14,560,000.00 (FOURTEEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS) will be given to you or transferred to an account you will provide.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this e-mail by reply e-mail. ( mrpaulsavimbi@yahoo.co.in )
Thanks for your anticipated assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Savimbi.
