My name is Sir.William Penn , Retired Colonel and ADC ( Military Assistant)to Late Jonas Savimbi UNITA Leader,from diamond rich area of Eastern part of Angola and with due respect and humility I write this proposal which I believe would be of great interest and benefit to you.Late Jonas Savimbi(DECEASED);Angola's Jonas Savimbi, legendary guerrilla leader of UNITA (the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola),who was killed by communist MPLA
(Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola)forces in comba! t Feb.2002,

I do seriously need your help because Iam disabled from a motor accident and cannot travel abroad on Doctor's orders.In addition to my official job at that time , I was also in charge of the consolidated budget and personal finances of the late leader; these include Gifts, anonymous donations from individuals and Countries;Also revenues from Crude Oil sales and Diamond/Precious Stones etc. In the wake of the civil war we have accumulated a huge sum
from the sale of Diamonds and Crude Oil sales ,I was instructed by the Late Jonas Savimbi to move away from Angola shores a total sum of $46.2million U.S Dollars in a Security Safe Deposit Vault for fear of being confiscated.

This operation I have successfully carried out with the help of a Shipping company in my Country.On 23nd December, I and my whole family was involved in a very bad accident on our way home to our Village at umafu ,about800 km from the capital of Angola I lost my entire family in! the accident, and myself fell into a coma since then.I eventually rec overed from coma,and
was discharged from the hospitaltwo weeks ago. I have no money with which
to sponsor any one in Angola to undertake the trip for me; in any case,my extended family here abandoned me in hospital .Unfortunately for me, after Jonas Savimbi's death, my personal safety and life came under threat by Government Security Agents, who promptly frozen my Bank Accounts .
I am currently living on the charity of men of goodwill . And now,I need your help to collect this money in London and invest it in a profitable venture abroad;I cannot bring in this money into Angola for fear of seizure by the Government.If the money is properly and profitably invested abroad , I intend to leave Angola permanently.

Can I count on your help?
If you agree to help me, I will send you by Post/courier the ELECTRONIC CARD
KEY CODE NUMBER of my vault so that you can travel to London and open the
vault; You will then remove the money total $46.2 million U.S Dolla! rs and transfer it to your Bank Account.For your help and assistance,you will keep 25% of the money for your self and keep 75% for me in safe custody until I travel to meet you and invest my share If you agree to help me,please reply giving me the following information:
