Subject: HELP MY FAMILY PLEASE!
Goodday,
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.
It is my humble pleasure to write this letter irrespective
of the fact that you do not know me.
However, I came to know of you in my private search for a
reliable and trustworthy person that can handle a
confidential transaction of this nature in respect of
this,I got your contact through an uprooted search on the
internet. Though I know that a
transaction of this magnitude will make any one
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all
will be well at the
end of the day I am Mr. Samuel Savimbi, son 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 father, Jonas Savimbi lodged huge sums of money
realized from the sales of diamonds and other precious
stones / metals in different banks in Europe and canada. My father is
presently no more, and the movement of his 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 late father from
the money realized from the last sales of diamonds before
is death .
My father had deposited this money as diplomatic
consignment with a security firm based in Spain, I have called the
security firm and they have confirmed to me that the
consignment/deposit is with them. I have all the documents with me
right now that is be needed to collect the consignment
from the security firm, my father has instructed the
security firm in his deposit request to release
consignment to any three family members which includes
myself, my mother and my only sister who is
also dead now incase of emergency or death.Right now my mother and I,
has agreed that I 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;However, you have to assure me and
also be ready to go into agreement with me that you will
not elope with the money. If you agree to my terms, kindly
as a matter of urgency send me an email.
The present government of my country 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 all other relevant
documents. However, in return for all your assistance we
have decided to offer you 15% 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 20% my family has agreed
to give to you for helping us secure the money.
I am waiting for your response to enable us proceed;But if
you do not feel comfortable with this transaction, do not
hesitate to discontinue. Thanks for your anticipated
co-operation and my regards to your family.
Regards,
Samuel Savimbi & family.
