Good Day,


I hope this mail meets you in good time. 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 man of intergrity.


First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Joseph Savimbi, I am a nephew and Personal Assistant to Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, the leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola). I got your email address from a directory, in my search for a partner for this transaction, hence this letter.


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. After my Uncle's death, Mr. Antonio Dembo who was his second in command, assumed office as leader of UNITA, and UNITA was in a state of turmoil. Prominent members like Carlos Morgado lobbyed to depose him and assume office as leader to enrich themselves and some of them who saw me as a threat to their ambitions, including Mr.Dembo, planned to kill me. The tension and confusion in UNITA become uncontrlable when Mr. Dembo died 10days after my Uncle died. Being a young man who desires a peaceful life, I am no more interested in conflicts and wars, this is why I secretly left Angola and came here (The Netherlands) to seek political asylum.


I am sincerely seeking for your highly needed assistance in respect to safekeeping 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, through the Diplomatic means we use to move money abroad, and was on transit with a private safe deposit
security company here in Amsterdam, Netherlands when the tragic incident of my Uncle's death occurred. I then instructed the company to secure the consignment containing the money pending on further instrutions from me.


As a matter of fact, this is the reason I chose to come to The Netherlands to seek for 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. Also, ensure that this contact with you should be treated with utmost secrecy.


The help I need from you is clearing the box containing the money which is deposited in my name, from the security company, after which, the money will transfered to your account preferably a new account you should open for this transaction. My share of the money will be returned to me when my asylum application is granted, and I have permission to do business and open an account here.


For your reliable assistance, I will reward you with 15%($2,775,000) of the money. We shall use 5%($925,000) to carry out every expenses that we come across at any time. The remainder of the 5% shall be given to a Charity Organisation.


I have with me, the Certificate of Depositfor the consignment, which will be used for claim from the security company. Also, everything will be legally processed for transfer of ownership to you, and this transaction should be completed immediately depending on your prompt response.


I thank you in advance as I anticipate 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.


Sincerely,
J.Savimbi.
