Dear one

My name is jacob savimbi . The son of Late General
Alexandre savimbi the former Director of
military inteligence and special acting General
Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond mining coperation(
SLDMC ). I am contacting you to seek your good
assistance to transfer and invest USD 28 million
belonging to my late father which is deposited in a
bank in Abidjan. This money is revenues from solid
minirals and dimonds sale which were under my fathers
possession before the civil war broke out. Following
the brake out of the war, almost all government
offices, coperations and parastatals were attacked and
vandalized. The SLDMC was loothed and burnt down to
ashes, and diamonds worth millions of dollars was
stolen by the rebel military forces who attacked my
fathers office.
Many top government officials and senior army officers
were assasinated and my father was a key
target because of his very sensit! ive military
possition and appointment in the SLDMC. Regreatably,
my father was captured and murdered along with half
brother in cool blood during a mid-night rebel
shoot-out when our official residence in freetown was
armbushed by Fordey Sanko the notorious rebel leader.
My mother sustainded very sever bullet injuries which
resulted to her untimely and painful death in a
private hospital here in Ivory Coast. Now I am alone
in a totally strange country without parents,
relatives or any body to care for me at my tender age.
Before my mother died, she told me that my father
deposited some money which he made from diamond sales
and contracts at this bank here in Ivory Coast and
that I should pray and find a trustworthy foreign
business partner who would help me to transfer and
invest this money in profitable business venture
overseas. She told me to do this quickly so that I can
leave Ivory Coast with my cousin brother-Arthur
who is here in the camp with me and, then settle down
abroad. She gave me all the bank documents to prove
the deposit and then told me that my father used my
name as the only SON to deposit the money in the
bank.She told me that this is the reason why we came
to Ivory Coast. My mother died afterwards. May her
spirit rest in perfect peace. I have gone to the bank
to make inquires about this
money and I spoke with the director of International
remittance who assured me that the everything is ok
and promised to help me transfer this money to my
father foreign partners bank account as soon as I
provide my partners foreign bank account for them.
However, the director is very concerned because of my
age, and as such promised to help me and he would like
to speak with my partner to ensure that this money is
invested wisely in only profitable business because of
his personal interest! and sympathy for me. If you are
will to assist me, please let me know immediately and
provide me with your following

Your full names and address, tel/ fax/ mobile Please
note that I can only offer you 15% of the
total money as compensation for your noble assistance
in accodiance with my mothers advise. I am interested
in any profitable commercial venture which you
consider very good in your country and you would also
get a school for me and my little sister so that I can
finish my colledge education.
I am hoping to hear your urgent response so that I can
stop look for another foreign partner.
Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.

Yours sincerly.

jacob savimbi

He might as well have added "This is a scam" after every sentence as it would have been just as subtle

I'm suprised it didn't ask for bank details.

Still think the Apple Laptop scam was a work of art, very funny.

ace!  there is a website a guy runs where he reverses the role on these as***** and plays along with the scam.  He has actually scammed some money out of them.  Usually Nigerians, not to be prejudice - it's a fact.  If have recieved a few myself.

Although if you think about it there must be some idiots out there that actually fall for it otherwise they wouldn't keep trying.

Guess what, just got this a few moments ago...

ATTENTION :

CONFIDENTIAL email address:ezeego512@yahoo.com*
      (*left e-mail up, in case anyone wants some fun

Dear Friend,

I am Barrister. Eze Ego, 41 years Ghanaian married with Three children.I
work as an administration Secretary/Attorney with West African Clearing
House(WACH) Accra Ghana. I joined the services of this company in 1991.I
got the information concerning you and your company from our Chamber of
Commerce here and after due consultation, I decided to contact you believing
that by the grace of God that you will be my partner in this business.

I have worked with this company for nine years, within this period of time
I watched with meticulous precision on how African Head of State and government
functionaries have been moving huge sums of money (Dollars,PoundSterling,French
Franc, Cash) to their foreign partners.
They bringin these consignment of money cash and secretly declare the content
as jewelleries, Gold, Precious Stones, Family Treasure, Documents,etc.MobutuSese
Seko of Zaire, Fodey Sankoy of Sierra Leone, Felix Houphet Buigny of Ivory
Coast, Konnan Bdie of Ivory Coast, etc.

These people have consignments deposited with West African Clearing House
and their foreign partners, Relatives and next of kins are claiming most
of these consignment and a lot more are laying here unclaimed for as much
as 7 years, as no available information to anybody except the depositors,and
most of them were dead.

Since the inception of the year 2000, West African Clearing House Management
changed the procedure of claiming of consignments. As soon as you are able
to produce all the secret information as contained in the secret file of
the company as regard the consignment, it will be released to you upon demand.
From our records, more than 10 consignment belonging to these people has
been claimed in the past six months and this is why I am seeking for your
co-operation and assistance.

Mr. Francis Carden is a Zimbabwean, and he work with one of the top ministers
of President Robert Mugabe who was in charge of the campaigning for re-electing
Mr. Mugabe into office in their last election. He deposited this consignment
in 1999 after absconded with the money 35.5 million United State Dollars
($35.5m USD). Unfortunately, Mr. Francis Carden died in Kayan aircraft that
kill all on board in 1999. Since his death, no one knows about this transaction
with this company (West African Clearing House) except me who acted as his
attorney when he deposited the consignment. I have finished every arrangement
for you to come and claim the consignment as the next of Kin to Mr. Francis
Carden.

The procedure is very simple:- Apply officially to the director of operation
West African Clearing House, Accra ? Ghana, Mr. Joseph Boateng,( which i
will later give you their full information) for the release of consignment
No. Z101. They will demand for some documents and the security code of
the consignment, you will call on me to supply you with every detailed information
as regard the consignment. As soon as they have confirm it to be correct,
the company will invite you for the collection.

Nobody will ever know that I am involved in the deal except the Lawyer who
will write an agreement for us, I will suggest pon conclusion, we share
it on the Ratio of 50%-50% more also you will make an arrangement on investments
that I will invest my money in your country. I assure you that this business
is very very secured and risk free.
Please, if you are not interested on this proposals,
kindly let me know.

CONFIDENTIAL email address:ezeego512@yahoo.com

Thanks ,

Barrister. Eze Ego.

West Africa: home of the e-mail scam.

Anyway, the only Savimbi I ever heard of was the late Jonas Savimbi, whose UNITA rebel force (with the help of the dos Santos Government) did so much to turn Angola from a ****hole to a total ****hole....

Been a while horsey, but I've not lost my touch !!
