Dear Sir/Madam
Please let me introduce myself to you, My name is Rosa the wife to the late
leader of the National Union for The Total Independence of Angola who is
now deceased leaving his family just one hope to secure their future. Fortunately
or maybe unfortunately funds realized from Diamond Royalties paid to my
late husband were lodged by him with a security company till the event of
such an event as his death.
As fate would have it the circumstances surrounding his death would have
it that his family would be on the run, being exiled with the rest of the
family so we had to leave Angola for our dear lives to a neighboring country.
Apart from I, only his blood brother Robert (my in-law) had the knowledge
that my husband had kept the royalties with the security company being lodged
as artifacts. He had lodged these artifacts under the pretence that a foreigner
would be the beneficiary. All vital papers were given to Robert for safe-keeping.
Now the family needs the assistance and collaboration of a foreigner in
getting the money from the security company out of Mauritius overseas where
the family intends to migrate to. We will require extensive support which
will be explained in detail upon your acceptance to look into this matter.
Be rest assured that a healthy provision has been mapped out for anyone
who helps us with this mission. I decline to state the total sum of the
funds hidden for obvious reasons but it is quite a sum of money. I also
wish to state that all logistics to make this mission possible has already
been mapped out by my late husband. I assure you a good business relationship
and that I would personally have no hand in anything illegal.
Upon your positive response I shall forward you more details to enable you
decide if you would want to go on or not. Please reply my only if you are
sincerely interested in helping someone even though its someone you do not
know. Another thing I shall ask of you is to take your time in making a
decision. I must confess I really have tried finding the right person but
maybe God had been waiting for me to contact you.
How I wish my prayers could be answered by the time you finish reading this.
I wish you the best of life and hope you reply positively soon. Thank you
for taking the time to at least read this through.
Yours truly,
mrs Savimbi
NB: If you feel inclined towards replying this message, please include a
