Attention My Dear,
May I use this opportunity to introduce my self as MRS. TAMI SAVIMBI I am the wife to the late MR. GREAT JONAS SAVIMBI, the leader of the Angolan revolutionary group know as the (UNITA) who died while on active duty in an effort to liberate our people.
I am contacting you with the believe that we could develop a cordial business relationship which will be beneficial to both parties. I am currently in possession of (Eighteen Million United State Dollars) which I intended to use for investment purposes specifically in your country. The money came about as a result of my late husbands inability to proceed with the purchase of military hardware, which he contracted with South African Arms Company.
Since the inception of our civil war the source of funds in prosecuting the war has been from diamond, which is under our control. My son is the secretary of state mining under the leadership of my late husband. The diamond were exported to South Africa and the proceeds were usually used in buying military hardwares. I traveled immediately to my late husbands residence in South Africa after his death and discovered the sum of EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS cash hidden under his under ground safe.
Due to my status as a refugee,I cannot invest these funds here in South Africa, I therefore seek your assistance in transferring this funds out of South Africa, all necessary arrangement has been made by me and I assure you that there is no risk attached to this and we will work out modalities for the success of this transaction. I promise to give you 25% of the total funds for your assistance and my family will use the remaining 75% for investment in your country.
I hope that this proposal will interest you.
I will like you to contact my son who is staying in Switzerland as a refugee. I will give you his contact as soon as you indicate your interest. Reply to my private email [ savimtami@tiscali.co.uk ]
Best Regards,
MRS.SAHAR TAMI SAVIMBI.________________________________15 Mbytes Free Web-based and POP3Sign up now: http://www.gawab.com
