Urgent Assistance

From: "federicksavimbi@... " <federicksavimbi@...>
Date: 2003-05-04 13:40:52 UTC
List: ruby-talk #70587

Good Day,

With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you 

in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we 

have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take 

due consideration of its importance and immense benefit. I duly apologize for 

infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this 

proposal to you as a person of integrity.

First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Federick

Chuli Savimbi, I am a nephew and Personal Assistant to Late Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, 

leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola). As led by my 

instinct, I selected your email address from an internet directory, in my search for 

a partner, hence this email. 

I also crave your indulgence to read this carefully, and have a general overview of 

my situation. My Uncle (Mentor) was killed in a battle with government forces of 

Angola, led by President Dos Santos, on Friday 22nd February 2002. After his death, 

Mr. Antonio Dembo who was his second in command, assumed office as leader of UNITA, 

due to lack of the Charisma my Uncle had carried the party with in Dembo, there was 

chaos and struggle for leadership. Prominent members like Carlos Morgado lobbied 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 uncontrollable when Mr. Dembo died 10days 

after my Uncle's death. As I lost my mentor in this struggle that has been on for 

three decades now, not so much of the struggle interested me anymore, as there was 

no more sense of direction. I then desired a peaceful life, as I am no more int! 

erested in conflicts and wars. For this reason, I secretly left Angola and came here 

(Holland) to seek for political asylum.

I am sincerely proposing to you to render me 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), which 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 and Finance company here in Amsterdam-Holland .In 

February last year 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 instructions from me. I have waited for sometime now for security reasons, 

and have now decided to act with your reliable assistance. As a matter of fact, the 

reason I came to Holland and sought for political asylum here is the safe deposit 

with the Security Company. 

President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos has lobbied the International Community to freeze 

my Uncle's assets and accounts abroad, to ground UNITA, and has already done this in 

Angola. Hence I cannot lodge the funds in my name. Also I did not declare the funds 

to the here.

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.

Your role in this project, is clearing the safety deposit containing the money which 

is deposited in my name, from the Security company, after which, the money will 

lodged into an 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 in this country 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. 

I have with me, the Certificate of Deposit for the consignment containing the funds, 

which will be used for claim from the security company, and the release codes of the 

vaults. 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.
