Dear Sir/MADAM,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not
yet met. The message could be strange but real if you pay some attention to
it.I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your integrity.
Please accept my sincere apologies.
In bringing this message of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no
intentions of causing you any painsI am Mr.JEFFERY NOGAGA, son of the late
rebel leader Mr.ISAAC NOGAGA of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of
February2002. I managed to get your contact details through "The SOUTH AFRICAN
INFORMATION EXCHANGE" the time i was desperately looking for a trustworthy
person to assist me in this confidential transaction. My late father,
Mr.ISAAC NOGAGA was able to deposit a large sum of money in different banks in all
over the world, my father is presently dead and the movement of his family
members(including me) is restricted. We are forbidden to either travel abroad or
outof our localities, but by God's grace were able to escape.
Presently, the (US$31M Thirty-one Million Dollars) my father transferred to
South Africa is safe and is in a security firm. Before you can get access to
it I have to give you the password, I am therefore soliciting your help to have
this money transferred into your account, before my government get wind of
this fund .You know my father was a rebel leader in Angola before his death. My
reason for doing this is because it will be difficult for the Angolan
government to trace my father's money to an individual's account, especially
when such an individual has no relationship, I decided to keep that money
for my family use. At present the money is kept in a Security Company in South
Africa.
From the above you will understand that our lives and future of my family
depends on this fund as such I will be grateful if you will assist us. We
are now living in South Africa as political asylum seekers and the financial law
and regulations of the Republic of South Africa does not permit us to
certain rights in South Africa. In view of this I cannot invest this fund in South
Africa hence I am asking you to assist me transfer this out of South Africa
for investment purposes.
For your efforts we are prepared to offer you 25% of total fund, while 5%
will be set aside for any expenses incurred between yourself and our family.
While we keep 70% for investment in your country. Finally, modalities on how
this transfer will be done would be conveyed to you once we have established
trust and confidence between ourselves. Please treat this matter as urgent.
Best regards.
MR,JEFFERY NOGAGA
