ATTN: DIRECTOR/C.E.O,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not met each other before. 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 good will to you, which will be beneficial to all of us involved
I am Mr. WILLIAM SAVIMBI, the son of the late rebel leader Mr. JONAH SAVIMBI of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of February 2002. I managed to get your contact details through The World Business Journal", a journal of the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce in South Africa in the time I was desperately looking for a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential business. After the death of my father, my mother called me and narrated to me how my father deposited the sum of (US$19,500,000.00) Nineteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars with a private security company here in Johannesburg South Africa. She also gave me all the documents related to this deposited money as proof of deposit, which no other person or the government in power in my country knows about it. After the death of my father, the movement of his family members (including me) was restricted in my country Angola. We were forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our localities, but as the first and only son, I was a
ble to find my way out of the country to South Africa where this money was been deposited for safekeeping.
Before any thing I will like you to promise me that after you receive this money into your account you will not disappear with the money or cheat us, as this is our life, I am therefore soliciting your help to have this money transferred into your account. Before my government gets wind of this fund .as I said earlier my father was a rebel leader 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 family; I decided to keep this money for my family use.
At present the money is deposited in Security Company. I am presently and temporarily an asylum seeker (refugee)here in south Africa and because of my refugee status the law does not permit me to operate an account or invest this money here. In this regards, As you are interested in helping us you try and contact me very urgently with the above telephone or through my e-mail address indicating your interest in helping us. Also include your private telephone and fax numbers for confidential communication. I will then furnish you with more details. We agreed to offer you 25% of the total amount for helping us to move this money to a safe destination. Be informed that this transaction needs utmost trust and confidentiality. Note also that the transaction attracts no risk on your side. Looking forward to receiving your urgent reply.
God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
MR. WILLIAM SAVIMBI
