As a result of this, I can take you in confidence basically because of the source of my fund here by believing that your assistance will be of profitable advantage to us.

My comrades and I sensing the weakness of our Liberation movement and loss of confidence in facing a better trained and equipped federal government Army towards the last one year. We decided to escape with some fund under our care.
We deposited this money with a private security firm in Bangkok, it was deposited as a family treasure so as not to let the company know the real content. This was made possible true special arrangement. South Africa however not being safe for me because of it closeness to Angola, I escaped to Thailand were I’m staying at the moment as a refugee.
I would there fore like you to help me in every possible way in securing this fund to your country since I intend to live and run my business there. The amount involved is, Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollar {US$15.5Million} I would like you to understand my modesty in imploring for your help which is categorically due to my lack of business experience and exposure.
I also want you to acknowledge the fact that I am a carrier soldier who by virtue of the war was opportune to posses the amount of money with me. This fund being the basis of my future and business ambition, your friendship, assistance and advise will be immensely appreciated while your effort will be rewarded by parting with some percentage of the total fund to you.
Be also assured that you stand on no risk of any kind as it was an event during a war situation and I look forward to your urgent reply.
