Dear Sir,
TRANSFER OF US$18 MILLION (EIGHTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS
No doubt I know you will be surprised to receive this proposal. I got your contact through your country’s Trade Journal here in South Africa when I was making an inquiry for my investment in your country although I did not disclose my business intentions to them, rather I decided to contact you directly. First, I must introduce myself. I am Mr. David Savimbi, the son of the late leader of Unita Rebel Jonas Savimbi of Angola who died on the 22nd February2002. (http://www.empereur.com/angola.html).
My father was one of the key officers who succeeded in getting the sum of US$18,000,000,00(EIGHTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS). In the security company here, All the related documents are intact with me and I have contacted the company .I am currently in Johannesburg South Africa as an asylum seeker pending when I get a foreign partner because of the monetary laws here which do not allow any asylum seekers to operate any bank account or any business here in this country.
However, my father was one of the key officers who succeeded in getting the sum of US$18,000,000,00 (EIGHTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS). We made arrangements and transferred the money through diplomatic means to South Africa where I am presently living as asylum. Now I need a trustworthy person that will assist me to transfer this money to any foreign account outside South Africa, as the strict Monetary Laws here do not allow asylum seekers certain financial rights. I shall be grateful if you assist me to accomplish this transaction and hoping too that you will remain trustworthy.
For your efforts and assistance, I am prepared to give you 25% (US$4,500,000.00) of the total sum while 5% (US$900,000.00) will be set aside for all the expenses incurred during the course of this transaction. The rest 70% (US$12,600.000.00) will be for my family investment in your country. Please note that, this transaction is 100% RISK FREE as such the only thing I ask from you is total assistance to transfer this money, complete trust and assurance that my own part of the money will be safe when transferred into your account.
If you are interested in assisting me, please contact me through my private email address (d_s76441@yahoo.com) for security reasons.
I am looking forward to receive your urgent reply.
Best Regards,
Mr. David Savimbi.
