Dear respected friend,
How are you and your business? I am very interested in doing business in your country,
therefore i would like to seek your assistance and help. I am particularly interested in
properties but your advice on other areas of private sector would be appreciated.
I got your contact at the business bureau office here in South Africa and i am of the
belief that you would be of great help in guiding me to a successful exploration of the
investment potential of your country which guarantee good capital returns and
financial security. As a result of this, i can take you in confidence basically because of
the source of my fund, while believing that your assistance will be of profitable
advantage to us.
I am Mr. Madiba Tutu, formerly of UNITA and a senior cabinet member under the
military leadership of Gen. Jonas Savimbi. My comrades and i, envisaging the weakness
of our liberation movement and loss of confidence in facing a better trained and well
equipped federal government army towards the last one year, decided to escape with
some fund under our care which we deposited with a fund fiduciary manager. More
detailed information would be supplied to you for verification if you respond favourably.
I am planning to relocate to your country where i can be better established with my
money, as Angola is not safe for me because of its closeness to South Africa. I would
therefore like you to assist me in every possible way in securing this fund to your country
since i intend to live and run my business there. The amount involved is, fourteen
million five hundred thousand united states dollar {$14.5m}. Sir, i would like you to
understand my modesty in imploring for your help which is basically due to my lack of
business experience and exposure in your country. This fund being the basis of my
future and business ambition, your friendship, assistance and advice will be immensely
appreciated while your effort will be rewarded by parting with some percentage of the
total fund to you. You should be also assured that you stand no risk of any kind as it
was an event accruing from a war situation and i look forward to your urgent response.
Please kindly respond if you are interested through my email address:
madibatutu1@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards,
Mr. Madiba Tutu.
