I am Michael Tao Savimbi the first son of the human right activist general Jonas Banigo Savimbi of the republic of Angola, that was short to dead by some of his military officials on the 27th February 2002 in my country Angola.

    Presently, I am now in Abidjan, republic of Ivore coast, west Africa as a political asylum since the last day of my father, before this incidence, my father and I left Angola early 2001 to Abidjan and stayed for seven months while running for his life when the present government of Angola started indiscriminate for his killing. it was at this juncture that my father made away with this amount of us $12 million in one sealed trunk box to Abidjan
    with the help of his men, as a matter of fact, nobody knows the real content of the box.

    Even the officers do not know what the content of the trunk box is all about except me ,this box was deposited at the security company and was registered as family valuables belonging to my late father's foreign partner as declared to the company by my father just for some security reasons. after the money was deposited by my late father ,my father gave me the deposit certificate issued to him by the security company to keep for security reasons, as I was the only one aware of this deposit before he went back to our country where he meet his death.

    My father's wealth by claiming that the wealth was gotten through arms smuggling and illegal sale of diamonds. You can find out more about my late father by checking this profile at URL below removed

    We have to keep this transaction very secret because of my family’s reputation in my country. I shall send you a password and information that will include deposit certificate/deposit agreement and the contact of the security company as soon as you are ready to proceed. And please tell me what you will take as your commission %.

    I have decided to contact you for an expert advise and assistance to move this money to your country for investment. I would appreciate your effort to invest this money into a high profitable business venture under your management and supervision. this transaction is 100% risk free.

    Could you please send me your full names, address, confidential telephone and fax number to enable me relate your information to the security company before referring you to them for immediate contact and guard line to proceed for the claim of the consignment.

    upon your arrival to this country I will take you to the security company to enable you stand as my late father’s foreign partner and claim the consignment without delay. However, your ability to maintain the confidential nature of this transaction and off course your fidelity to me is very important.

    Please contact me directly to the above telephone and email immediately you receive this mail for further discussion and more details covering my required assistance.

    your immediate response is highly appreciated while thanking you in anticipation.

    I am waiting for your response and telephone call.

    Im getting really tired of the eBay and Paypal scam emails I keep getting. Hell, if they sent me a real email I probably wouldn't notice at this point.
