Subject: Calvary Greetings,



Calvary Greetings,

I am Mrs Anna Neto,Wife of late Mr Paulinho Neto,a Director of Angola's
Endiama Corporation (AEC)one of the biggest mining company in the

Cuango Valley in Angola.

He was murdered by unknown assailants 1994 in Angola My husband was a
famous man in Angola who was brutally murdered due to disagreement with

a Brazilian Mining Firm the agents of the ruling government of

National Union for the total independence of Angola (UNITA) headed by

Dr.Jonas Savimbi for his alleged support and sympathy for the

opposition Popular movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) headed

by Eduardo Dos Santos led by the minority.

My husband was among the people murdered in cold blood by the war

veterans backed by the government. Before the death of my husband, he

deposited the sum of $8.850M with a FINANCE COMPANY.As if he knew the

looming danger in Angola. We were married for twelve years and God

blessed us with a set of twins You can view brief throught thewebsite:

Presently this money is still with the FINANCE COMPANY and after my

husbands death my passport was seized and i have been denied access to

leave the country.
Recently,my Doctor told me that I might not last the next two months
due to an inflammation of my Cancer and Liver problem. This hasled to

my being on 24 hours intensive care, in a private clinic here in angola

I am tired of living like this.

I have decided to donate 20% of this fund to an individual, group or a

charity rganisation that will utilize this money the way I am going to

instruct herein while half of the money shall be kept for the upkeep of

my children. I want an individual, or Charity Organisation that will

use this fund for orphanages,widows, and helping land mine victims

worldwide.

I took this decision because my husband's relatives are trouble makers

and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used for trivialities I do

not want a situation where my husband's sweat will be used in material

pursuits.

This is why I am taking this decision.As soon as I receive your reply I

shall give you details of the FINANCE COMPANY and what is required of

you as my trustee.Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing

another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will

act accordingly as I stated herein.

Hope to receive your reply.

Remain blessed.
Your Sister,
Mrs Anna Neto(Widow)
