Please take your time to go over this mail carefully and with patience. this is a matter of urgency, this is because we need your help.I got your email contact through the Netherlands business directory. I was desperately looking for a person to assist me in this confidential transaction.

Since after my husband’s death my family is under restriction of movement,but happily we have been able to move out from Angola to Guinea Conakry, and successfully my first son Collins Savimbi is now in netherlands and that not withstanding, we are being molested, policed and our bank Account both here and abroad are being frozen by the Angola Government.
Following the recent discovery of my husband’s Bank Account by the Angola Government with Lisbon in Portugal Bank in which the huge sum of US$ 10.5Million was logged. I therefore decided to contact you in confidence that i was able to move out the funds from the account which was secretly defaced and is sealed in two Metal Boxes in a private security trust company in Netherlands Europe for safe keeping only.The fund was realised from gold and diamond sales by my late Husband's diamond and gold company.
I am in contact with the security company and they have confirmed to me the exisitence of the deposit and my son is currently in Netherlands where the money was deposited pending when I get a foriegn partner like you for the retrieval of the deposit and further investment of the money into your business or any other business you consider profitable.
I therefore personally, appeal to you seriously and religiously for your urgent assistance to move this money into your private account in your country where l believe it will be safe and secure a two rooms flat appartment where my son will stay for furthering of his education when he come's over to your conutry after the conclusion of the transaction from the security company ,since l and the remaining two children cannot leave this country Guinea Conakry for safety purpose and due to the restriction of movement imposed on the members of my family by the Angola Government.
My Son Collins Savimbi shall arrange with you for a face to face meeting in netherlands meet with every required documents in order to liaise with you toward effective completion of this money out of the security trust company where the funds was deposited.
The security trust company in netherlands where the money is deposited have no idea of the real content of the box deposited with them because I made payment for the safekeeping as a family treasure.
We shall also arrange to change to your name as the beneficiary of the money for security reasons.
