ATTN:

This mail might come to you as a surprise but I plead with
you to carefully read before you take a decision or not. I
wish to solicit for your assistant, which I strongly
believe, will be of mutual benefit to all parties.
My name is Mr GARY KEKANE,Regional Head of a leading Bank
here in South Africa. My colleagues and I wish to seek your
assistant in transfer of an unclaimed inheritance.
The said funds was deposited five years ago by MR. JONAS
SAVIMBI the leader of the NATIONAL UNION FOR THE TOTAL
INDEPENDECE OF ANGOLA (UNITA). They have been in control of
a larger part of Angola for more than twenty years until
MR. SAVIMBI was tragically killed in combat against the
Government forces in the Central Eastern Province of MOXICO
In Angola on the 22nd of February 2002.

Unfortunately, he could not live to maturity of the Fix
Deposit in our Bank, which was last year. He appointed his
Foreign Partners as the next of kin to the deposit, but
after a serious research we found out that no one is
actually aware of this fund and the present Government of
Angola id now confisticating any property or account
belonging to MR. SAVIMBI. However, if the fund is unclaimed
and discover by the Reserved Bank of South Africa it will
be donated to DR.NELSON MADELA charity organization, this
is the reason why we need the fund to be transferred into a
foreign account as soon as possible.
All modalities for successful transfer into an offshore
Bank account has been put in place and we are looking for a
HONEST and TRUSTWORTHY foreign partner into whose bank
account this fund will be remitted.

We have agreed to compensate you upon the completion of the
transaction.
Please reach me via the above stated details and to know
more about the deceased kindly access the website below.
