Subject: PRIVATE.
Good day,
My proposal to you will be very surprising, as we have not had any
personal
contact. However, I sincerely seek your confidence in this transaction,
which I propose to you as a person of transparency,honesty and caliber.
Let me first start by introducing myself properly to you. My name is Robert
Savimbi cousin and Personal Assistant of Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, the leader
UNITA (National Union for the Total independence of Angola). I got your
email address from network directory. I apologize if I have infringed on
your privacy.
You may know that my Uncle was recently killed in a battle with the
government troops of Angola, led by President Dos Santos, on friday 22nd
February, 2002.
Now Mr. Antonio Dembo and general Paulo Lukamba who were my Uncle's second
in command, has assumed office as leader of UNITA. In spite of this, UNITA
is like a herd of cattle without shepherd. Prominent members like Carlos
Morgado are still lobbying to oust them and assume office as leader to
enrich themselves and some of them who see me as a threat to their
ambitions, including General paula lukamba, are planning to kill me. For
more information check www.angola.org.
However, I am a young man who has ambitions and I am not in any way
interested in wars, this is why I secretly left Angola and come here
(Netherlands) to seek political asylum.
I am sincerely seeking for your urgent help in respect to safe keeping of
some of my Uncle's money that arose from Diamonds sales. This money
(US$18.5million), was already on its way to my Uncle's Swiss Bank account.
It was on transit with a safe deposit company here in Netherlands, when the
tragic incident of my Uncle's death occurred.
As a matter of fact, this is the reason I chose to come to Netherlands to
seek political asylum. It is very clear with the way things are now, that
President Dos Santos will lobby the International Community to freeze my
Uncle's assets and accounts abroad, to ground UNITA, since he has already
done this in Angola.
I plan to use this money to safeguard my future. It is very essential that
you understand that the kind of trust and confidence I want to put in you is
extraordinary, and an act of desperation on my part, in order not to lose
this money. Please, treat this contact with utmost secrecy and
confidentiality for security and safety reasons.
The help I need from you is clearing the box containing the funds from the
security and finance company, after which, it will be deposited in an
account in your name, with my name as next of kin. The money shall remain in
your custody till my asylum application is granted, and I have the permit to
conduct business, then you will transfer the account to me. Meanwhile, the
money can be invested into risk-free profitable ventures, and there will an
agreement to protect my interest. I have all the documents that will enable
you claim the consignment from the security and finance company.
For your reliable assistance, I will reward you with 15% of the money, and
we shall use 5% to carry out every expenses that we come across during the
process of this transaction and the investment process. The remainder of the
5%, shall be given to a charity of your choice.75% will be for my familys
investment in your country.
I thank you in advance in anticipation for your assistance in enabling me
achieve this goal. Please contact me whether or not you are interested in
assisting me. This will enable me scout for another partner in the event of
non-interest on your part.
NOTE:your prompt response will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
R.Savimbi.
