Subject:
Attn: Sir.
I strongly believe that this message would come to you as a surprise.Infact, it is in respect of the strict confidence given to me that you are honest and versatile in business that motivated my interest to seek your co-operation in this transaction.
My father was late general Antonio Dembo the former vice president of UNITA rebels in Angola. He was the chairman of Angolan Petroleum Monitoring Committee (APMC) 1992 to 2002. sadly,He died after an injury sustained during the ambush on the UNITA rebels on 27th February 2002 where the President of UNITA, Dr.Jonas Savimbi was killed. As you might have known, petroleum is the major revenue source in Angola (Southern Africa). My father made a lot of money through the job but could not invest the money immediately to avoid probe by the Military Government.
