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 or 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 we
make this proposal to you as a person of integrity.
First and foremost I wish to introduce my self properly to you. my
names are Kenneth mario savimbi , i am one of the children of Late
Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total
Independence of Angola). As led by my instinct, i got to your page thus this note.
My Father (Mentor) was killed in a battle with government forces of
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 Father 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 us. The
tension and confusion in UNITA become uncontrollable when Mr. Dembo
died 10days after my Father's death.
We secretly left Angola and came here (NIGERIA) to seek political
asylum. We sincerely proposing to you to render us your highly needed
assistance in respect to safekeeping of some of my Father's money that arose
from Diamonds sales.
This money worth Fifteen Million United State Dollar(US$15.000.000.00), which
was deposited in one of the security and finance company here in NIGERIA, Since
2001 before the tragic incident of my Father's death occurred.
President Dos Santos has lobbied the International Community to freeze
my Father's assets and accounts abroad, to ground UNITA, and has
already done this in Angola. We plan to use this money to safeguard our
future, it is very essential that you understand that the kind of trust and
confidence we want to put in you is extraordinary, and an act of
desperation on my part, in order not to lose this money.
