Subject: HELLO
DEAR SIR,
THIS MESSAGE MAY COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE BUT I PLEAD WITH YOU TO READ
IT BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION WETHER TO ASSIST ME OR NOT. MY NAME IS KWAFOR
ANSA. I AM THE MANAGER OF A BANK HERE IN ACCRA, GHANA AND I WISH TO SOLICIT
YOUR ASSISTANCE IN A TRANSACTION: MY COLLEAGUES AND I WISH YOU TO HELP US
MAKE A CLAIM IN THE TRANSFER OF AN INHERITANCE FUND.
THE MONEY WAS DEPOSITED THREE YEARS AGO BY MR. JONAS SAVIMBI THE LEADER
OF THE NATIONAL UNION FOR THE TOTAL INDEPENDECE OF ANGOLA (UNITA) IN MY
BANK HERE. HIS ORGANISATION, NOW OUTLAWED BY THE DICTATORSHIP, HAS BEEN
IN CONTROL OF A LARGE PART OF ANGOLA FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS, WITH MANY
WESTERN ALLIES. SADLY, MR. SAVIMBI WAS TRAGICALLY KILLED IN COMBAT AGAINST
THE GOVERNMENT FORCES IN THE CENTRAL EASTERN PROVINCE OF MEXICO IN ANGOLA
ON THE 22ND OF FERBRUARY 2002. LEAVING HIS DEPOSIT HERE UNCLAIMED.
AS HE DID NOT LIVE TO SEE THE MATURITY OF HIS FIXED DEPOSIT, WHICH WAS LAST
YEAR, WE ARE LEFT IN A QUANDRUM. HE APPOINTED HIS ?FOREIGN PARTNER? AS THE
NEXT OF KIN TO THE DEPOSIT. AFTER ONE YEAR OF RESARCH WE ? MY COLLEGUES
AND I - HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THIS PERSON, AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT NO
ONE FROM HIS ORGANISATION, OR FAMILY, IS ACTUALLY AWARE OF THESE FUNDS.
THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF ANGOLA IS NOW CONFISCATING ANYTHING TO DO WITH
UNITA, OR ANYTHING BELONGING TO MR. SAVIMBI. HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY
IN THAT NO ACCESS IS GRANTED TO CONFIDENTIAL DEPOSITS AT OUR BANK: MUCH
LIKE IN SWITZERLAND, OR THE CAMAN ISLANDS. HOWEVER, IT IS BANK POLICY TO
DONATE ANY UNCLAIMED MONEY AFTER FOUR YEARS TO THE GOVERNMENT OF GHANA.
HENCE MY REASON OF CONTACTING YOU: WE NEED THE FUNDS TO BE TRANSFERED INTO
A FOREIGN ACCOUNT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
ALL MODALITIES FOR THE SUCCESFUL TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY HAVE BEEN PUT IN
PLACE AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TRUST WORTHY FOREIGN PARTNER, INTO WHOSE
BANK ACCOUNT THIS TRANSFER WOULD BE REMITTED. BASED ON THIS, MY COLLEAGUES
HAVE MANDATED ME TO PROVIDE SOMEONE TO POSE AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO CLAIM
THIS MONEY.
WE HAVE AGREED TO COMPENSATE YOU UPON THE COMPLETION OF THE TRANSACTION,
SHOULD ACCEPT TO ASSIST US, WITH A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT THAT WE
WILL AGREE ON BEFORE STARTING.
WE ASSURE YOU THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE AS THE BENEFICIARY
IS DEAD AND I MANAGE THE BANK WHERE THE DEPOSIT IS HELD. IT WILL BE TRANSFERRED
AS INHERITANCE TO AVOID QUESTIONS FROM YOUR OWN BANK. TO KNOW MORE ABOUT
JONAS SAVIMBI PLEASE ACCESS THE WEBSITE BELOW.
