DIRECTOR/PRESIDENT
May i use this opportunity to introduce myself as Mrs.Sarah Savimbi.I
am the wife to the late MR.
GREAT JONAS SAVIMBI,the leader of the Angolan Revolutionary Group known
as the (UNITA)who died
while on active duty in an effort to liberate our people.I am
contacting you with the believe that
we will develop a cordial business relationship which will be
beneficial to both parties.
I am currently in possesion of 9,000,000(Nine Million Dollars) which
i intend to use for
investment purposes specifically in your country.The money came about
as a result of my late
husband's inability to proceed with the purchase of millitary
hardware,which he contracted with
South Africa Arms Company.Since the start of our civil war,the source
of the funds in prosecuting
the war has been from the sales of diamond which is under our
control.My son was the Secretary Of
State in mining under the leadership of my late husband.
The diamonds were always exported to South Africa and part of the
proceeds usually used in buying
millitary hardware's.I travelled immidiately to my late husband's
residence in South Africa and
discovered the sum of NINE MILLION DOLLARS cash hidden under his
underground safe.
Due to my status as a refuge,i cannot invest these funds here in South
Africa.I therefore seek your
assistance in transfering this funds out of South Africa,all the
necessary arrangements has been
made by me and i assured you that there is no risk attached to this
transaction and we will work
modalities for the success of this transaction.I promise to give you
30% of the total funds for
your assistance and my family will use the remaining 70% for our
investment in your country.
I hope that this proposal will intrest you and i will like you to
contact my son who is presently
under asylum in Europe through his email for security reason.You can
visit

plight.
Please i will like you to keep this transaction ar utmost secrecy in
whatever your decision will be
while i await your response through the security email address of my
Son.
