Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?greetings?=
Dear Sir,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings
and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However
strange or surprising this contact might seem to you,
as we have not met personally nor had any dealings in
the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration
of its importance and immense benefit. I also
sincerely seek your confidence, as I make this
proposal to you as a person of integrity.
First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly
to you. My name is MISS MIRIAM AHMED, I am a niece
and Personal Assistant to Late Jonas Malheiro Savimbi,
leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total
Independence of Angola). As led by my instinct, I
selected your email address from an internet
directory, in my search for partner, hence this
email.
My Uncle(Mentor) was killed in a battle with
government forces in Angola, led by President Dos Santos, on
Friday 22nd February 2002. After his death, Mr.
Antonio Dembo who was his second in command, assumed
office as leader of UNITA, due to lack of the Charisma
my Uncle had carried the party with in Dembo, there
was chaos and struggle for leadership. Prominent
members like Carlos Morgado lobbied to depose him and
assume office as leader to enrich themselves and some
of them who saw me as a threat to their ambitions,
including Mr.Dembo, planned to kill me. The tension
and confusion in UNITA become uncontrollable when Mr.
Dembo died 10days after my Uncle's death. As I lost my
mentor in this struggle which was on for more than
three decades , not so much of this struggle interests
me anymore,as there is now no sense of direction. I
now desire a peaceful life, as I am no more interested
in conflicts and wars.For this reason, I secretly left
Angola and came here (SOUTH AFRICA) to seek political
asylum.
I am sincerely proposing to you to render me your
highly needed assistance in respect to safekeeping of
some of my Uncle's money that arose from Diamonds
sales. This money TWENTY THREE MILLION UNITED STATE
DOLLARS (US$23 million),which was already on its way
to my Uncle's Swiss Bank account, through the
Diplomatic means we use to move money abroad,and was
on transit with a private safe deposit security
company here in JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA in February
when the tragic incident of my Uncle's death occurred.
I then instructed the company to secure the
consignment containing the money pending on further
instructions from me. I have waited for sometime now
for security reasons, and have now deicded to act with
your reliable assistance.
As a matter of fact, the reason I came to SOUTH AFRICA
and sought for political asylum here is the safe
deposit.
President Dos Santos has lobbied the International
Community to freeze my Uncle's assets and accounts
abroad,to ground UNITA,(though peace agreement has
been signed recently which stopped hostilities between
UNITA and the government) and has already done this in
Angola.Hence I cannot lodge the funds in my name. Also
I did not declare the funds to be here. I plan to use
this money to safeguard my future. It is very
essential that you understand that the kind of trust
and confidence I want to put in you is extraordinary,
and an act of desperation on my part, in order not to
lose this money. Also, ensure that this contact with
you should be treated with utmost secrecy.
Your role in this project, is travelling to South
Africa for meeting and open a non-resident account so
that when the fund is claimed from the Security
company,it will be lodged into the account first for
further transfer to your country account. I hope to
use my own share of the fund to invest in your country
with your advise.
For your reliable assistance, I will reward you with
30%(of the money while 5% is mapped out for any
charges we may incurre in the course of achieving the
business.
I have with me, the Certificate of Deposit for the
consignment containing the funds, which will be used
for claim from the security company, and the release
codes of the vaults. Also, everything will be legally
processed for transfer of ownership to you, and this
transaction should be completed immediately depending
on your prompt response.
I thank you in advance as I anticipate your assistance
in enabling me achieve this goal.
