Dear Friend,
I know that this letter will come to you as a surprise
due to the fact that we have not yet met each other before, but
please I will like you to consider my present family troubles and be rest
assured that there is no cause for alarm. Please put yourself in
my position and help me the way you will expect people to assist you to redeem your family's wealth.
I am Mrs. Jebel Savimbi,The wife of the late rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of February 2002.Presently, I am desperately looking for a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential business.My late husband, Jonas Savimbi lodged huge sums of money realized from the sales of diamonds and other precious stones / metals in a Security company in Europe. My husband is presently no
more, and the movement of my family members (including me) is highly restricted,
all his bank accounts and properties have been frozen and seized. We are
forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our immediate localities. Presently,
I have just discovered a huge deposit made by my husband from the money
realized from the last sales of diamonds before is death.
My husband had deposited this money as diplomatic consignment with a security Company in Europe, I have called the security company and they have confirm to me that the consignment is with them. I have all the documents with me right now that is be needed to collect the consignment from the security company, my husband has instructed the security company in his deposit request to release consignment to his wife or his son, my son who is also dead incase of emergency or death.Right now my family has given me the authority to do everything possible to get the consignment out as this is the only hope we have now to bring the family out of its present poor financial
state.
I am therefore soliciting your help to have this consignment
collected by you and the funds transferred into your account. I will give you all the necessary documentations to facilitate your collection of the consignment personally.All i want from you is to confirm to me that you will go and collact this consignment from the security company on your confirmation to assiste me pls i will like you to send to me your full names and phone and fax number so that our family lawyer will go for the change of ownership from my late husband name to your name as a business
partner to my late husband.
The government has no or will never have knowledge of this
business,so there is no need to be worried about your safety. I guarantee you your
safety.Once I have your complete assurance that you can handle this, I will
immediately send to you the relevant documents that will enable you take
possession of the consignments. This will include certificate of deposit and
shipment airway bill and all other relevant documents.
However, in return for all your assistance we have decided to offer
you 20% of the total amount of money as your share and 5%
for all your expenses which will include your travel expenses and
every other expenses you incure in the cause of this transaction, such as
your telephone bills etc, this makes a total of 25% my family has agreed
to give to you for helping us secure the money. I am waiting for your
response to enable us proceed.
Regards,
Mrs. Jebel Savimbi.
