My Dear,

Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship
with you. I am Philip Savimbi the only son of late Mr.KANTE SAVIMBI. My
father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Lome ,the economic capital of
Togo, my father was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of
their outings on a business trip My mother died when I was a baby and since
then my father took me so special.

Before the death of my father on July 2003 in a private hospital here in
Lome, he secretly called me on his bed side and told me that he has the sum
of Two million United State Dollars.($2.000,000) in a safe deposit fixed in
one the prime bank vault/custody

He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
poisoned by his business associates. That I should seek for a foreign
partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use
it for investment purpose such as real estate management or hotel
management.

I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways:
(1) To procure a profitable investment where this fund can be invested
(2) To serve as a guardian of this fund since I am only 20 years.
(3) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country to further my
education and to secure a resident permit in your country.

Moreover, I am willing to offer you 30% of the total sum as compensation for
your effort/ input after the successfull claming out and transferring of
this fund to your possession overseas.

Furthermore, you should indicate your immediate option towards assisting me
as I believe that this transaction would be concluded within fourteen (14)
working days as you signify interest to assist me.

Awaiting to hear favourably from you soon.

Thanks and God bless.

Best Regards,
