Greetings to you,i hope this mail meets you in good health and sound state of mind?Though it may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met before.I managed to get your contact details through the Norway business directory. Time is of importance to this letter. I was desperately looking for a person to assist me in this confidential transaction.My movement and that of other members of my family has been highly restricted but happily I have been able to move out from Angola and am now in Guinea Conakry.
I am Geofrey Savimbi,son of the late leader of Unita Rebel,Jonas Savimbi of Angola who died on the 22nd February2002 .(http://www.empereur.com/angola.html) Before the death of my father he deposited the sum of USD25,000,000.00(Twenty-Five million united states dollars) in a private security trust company for safe keeping only. I am in contact with the security company and they have confirmed to me the exisitence of the deposit.
I am currently in Guinea Conakry where the money is 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.
Based on the above, I am contacting you so that you can help me invest this fund in your country hoping that you will remain trust worthy. The fund was realised from gold and diamond sales by my late father diamond and gold company.I wish you will understand the need to assist me in my present situation. If you are ready I will give you all the information needed. I am very happy because the company here where the money is deposited have no idea of the real content of the box deposited with them because my father made payment for the safekeeping as a family treasure. I will personally like you to come to Guinea to meet with me and my younger sister face to face and we shall take you to the security company for retrieval. Upon your arrival here in Guinea we shall introduce you to the company as our late father business partner who has come to take us to Norway for furthering of our education.
We shall also arrange to change to your name as the beneficiary of the money.Please note that the whole process will not be more than 3 days.
This transaction is 100% riskfree and we want you to come down and see things for yourself in order to believe this story.I will like you to note that you are the only person apart from my immediate family who knows about this transaction.Me and my sister has agreed to give to you a total of 30% for your assistance and mapped out another 10% for any expenses that might occur during the process including your travel expenses to Guinea and the balance of 60% for us.
Yours Truly
Geofrey Savimbi
