Dear,
I got your address and other details from a Business
Directory Courtesy of the International Chamber of
Commerce and Industry,South Africa.
I am JOSEPH SAVIMBI, my father was the External
Affairs
Minister in the Government of the Angola rebel leader
(JONAS SAVIMBI).
At the mid term of the rebellion which is still on
till date,my father thinking fast decided to send my
younger brother and I out of Angola because the fate
of our our country was yet to be decided. My brother
and I left Angola for South Africa with a total sum
of
US%22M(Twenty-two Million US Dollars),sealed in a
diplomatic baggage meant for the purchase of arms
from
South Africa.
On arrival in South Africa because we are political
asylum seekers , we were not allowed to operate a
bank
account. So with the instruction of my father, I
deposited the money with a security company.Though I
did not reveal the content of the baggage to the
security company nor did I declare the actual content
to them,because we wanted to be on a safer side.I
told
them that the baggage belongs to my foreign affiliate
who is the beneficiary of the item.
Unfortunately,because of my fathers political
position
and influence he was assasinated.
Since then,we have been looking for a reliable and
trustworthy person to help us transfer this money
into
a foreign account overseas prior to investment in
that
country or any other conducive country overseas.But
it
has to be less tax demanding country.Luckily I ran
into you address and other details and decided to
contact you and see if you can be of any help to us.
We intend to share this money (US$22M) as follows:
1. 20% of the total sum goes to you if you assist us
in transferring this money successfully into any of
your overseas account.
2. 5% if the total sum will be set aside to offset
all bills and expenses incured in the process of this
transaction.
3. 75% of the total sum will be for my brother and I
for investment in any country of which you will be a
guide to us.
Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free
on
your side, as we have concluded all modalities to aid
this transfer.Should this meet your utmost
consideration,please give me your earliest reply
through the telephone and fax numbers transcribed
above.Be kind to provide me wit your communication
facilities for hitch-free and confidential link.
Feel free to ask questions you consider necessary in
this transaction.
The confidentiality in this transaction cannot be
over
emphasized as I trust and believe that you will
oblige
us the needed security and attention it
demands.Please
