I decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of 25.5Million (Twenty five million Five hundred Thousand United States Dollars) deposited by my late father in a private security company in Johannesburg South Africa. Before the death of my father he was a brigadier in charge of arms and ammunitions procurement for the Angolan Army. In his (WILL) he specifically drew my attention to the sum of US$25.5. Million, which he deposited in the safe box in private security company in Johannesburg, South Africa.
In fact he said and I quote My beloved son, I wish to draw your Attention to the sum of US$25.5 Million. I deposited the box containing the fund in a security company in Johannesburg, South Africa.
During the war I found out that some senior army officials and government functionaries were busy helping themselves with government funds and Properties and sending them to foreign countries.
Due to this, when the former Special Adviser to the President and I were assigned by the President (Jose Eduardo Santos) to purchase arms in South Africa, we saw this as a golden opportunity to divert the money For our personal use. When we so shared the money,I got a total sum of US$25.5 Million). I did this incase of death so that you John , wouldn’t suffer. Do not disappoint me, bye for now and God bless you.
After the burial I decide to move to south Africa where this money was deposited and withdraw it and put to use and was disappointed as it is against the human right law SECTION 22 OF THE REFUGEES ACT NO.130 OF 1998 that asylum seekers in the country do not have the right to operate a bank account or to run an enterprise in the country, after much consideration we arrive at a point that it will be of interest for us to contact a partner who we will trust and insure him or her the beneficiary of this fund.
>From the words of my father's WILL, you will understand that the lives and my future depend on this fund, and as such I would be very grateful if you can assist me. Now what I would like you to do for me as an international partner is to help us clear this sum from the security company using your name as the beneficiary of the fund.
