Johannesburg, South Africa

Dear Sir,
As stated above, my name is Fernando Ayanua. I am 30 years of age, and a
stepson of the Angolan warlord and rebel leader, Dr.Jonas Savimbi.
My mother and I are interested in relocating to your country, and venturing
all of our funds in excess of some US$32 million, all in US$100 bills; in
your line of business, and under your auspices. All funds having
being earmarked for the purchase of arms in South Africa, and accrued from
the sales of precious stones.
You are to take home 25% of the gross for all your anticipated assistance by
the time the funds are successfully lodged in your nominated accounts
overseas. But first all we will need to know you more, and also we would
need to move the funds and of course
ourselves out of this place as soon as we can possibly arrange that to be.
My mother and I have carefully worked out the modalities for the eventual
transfer. You are to participate as our foreign partner in the scheme of
arrangement.
My mother personally requested that I send this mail to you. If this
proposal should be of interest to you, kindly signify your interest by
replying through my Email address, or better still give me a call on my
direct number, which is +27 73 446 7341, for a more detailed insight.
Kindest regards,
Fernando Ayanua.
