Dear Sir,
I know you will be surprise to read from me since you do not know me personally, first I must introduce my self, I am Ms Jolie Kabba from ANGOLA. I am the first daughter of the late BRIGADIER ARNOLD KABBA. I am presently residing in South Africa.
I got your contact from South Africa Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg and on behalf of my widowed mother, Mrs. Mercy Kabba, I decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of US$22 (Twenty Two Million United States Dollars) inherited from my late father into your personal or Companys account. Before my fathers death, he was Brigadier in charge of arms and ammunition purchases for the Angolan armed forces. He wrote his will on my name as the only grownup child in the family. In his "WILL" he specifically drew my attention to this sum of US$22 Million, which he deposited in a private Security Company in South Africa.
IN FACT MY FATHER SAID IN HIS WILL AND I QUOTE.
My beloved daughter, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of US$22 Million (Twenty Two Million United States Dollars) which I deposited with a Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa. In case of my absence on earth caused by death only, you should solicit for reliable person to assist you to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purposes. I deposited the money in your name and you can claim it with the deposit code. Your mother has all the documents. Take good care of your mother and your younger brother".
From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family depends on this money as much, I will be very grateful if you can assist us. We are now living in South Africa as political Asylum seekers and financial laws of South Africa does not allow Asylum seekers certain financial right to such huge amount of money. In view of this, I cannot invest this money in South Africa, hence I am asking you to assist me transferring this money out of South Africa for investment purpose.
Finally, modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves also as soon as I get your response I shall give out more details on how we shall proceed and will be in a position to give you details on the agreed sharing ratio.
Looking forward to your urgent reply and please treat as very confidential.
Best regards
Ms Jolice Kabba
(On behalf of the family)
