Subject: Compliments of the seasons
Dear One,
I write to intimate you of a matter that requires an
urgent attention. But briefly, I am Mr.Johnson Savimbi,
the first son of late Mr.Jonas Savimbi of Angola.
It is my pleasure communicating with you for the first
time and believing that it will lead to a better relationship
between us. I also hope you will not impede this trust and
confidence I repose in you.
I send this letter from Cotonou, in Benin Republic where
I have an official refugee status with my mother after leaving
our country due to anevent that took place on December 2002,
which led to the arrest and detention of my father and six
other men after a face off between the Unita Rebels and the
government on allegation of subversive activities and treasonable
offences which was nothing but a mere political persecution.
After few months in the military detention camp my father was
announced dead by the government special press release. Though
I do not know to what extent you are familiar with the event and
crisis in Angola,however during the disturbance and prior to my
father's death he gave me allthe documents for the secret deposit
he made in a security company in Cotonou.
The deposit is US$ 22.5 million US Dollars, he made the deposit
in one trunk box(cash), but the real content of the box was not
disclosed to the security company officials as this was deposited
as personal effect.(for security reasons)
However I have gone to the security company to confirm the deposit
and establish ownership, please I need your assistance urgently in
moving this fund abroad for investment, when the fund is properly
secured we will jointly invest in any business you consider profitable.
I will be glad for your resolved assistance, I will kindly appreciate
if we can talk and emerge words with action. With all honesty to the
stated data in my message,I assure you of the genuity of this proposal.
I will particularly be happy if you can help so that my elderly
mother will be happy also all the rest of our life solely depends
on this fund.It is the fear of betrayal from anyone around us here that
confirmsmy decision to contact a neutral individual like you, and I
want you to educate me on investment potential in your country since I
would not like to invest or stay in any of the African country, except
otherwise.
I will not hesitate to give you 20% or negotiable of the total sum
for your assistance. So if you will be able to assist me, please do
urgently reply me for further clarification and confirmation and in
order to stop further contacts.
Thank for your anticipated co-operation, Remain blessed.
Your earnest favourably reply is highly solicited.
Meanwhile, you can contact me on my aletrnate private email:
"svmbjohnson@yahoo.com"
Your Sincerely,
Mr.Johnson Savimbi.
