My Dear Friend ,
I know that this letter will come to you as a surprise due to the fact that
we have not yet met each other before, but please I will like you to consider
my present family troubles and be rest assured that there is no cause for
alarm. Please put yourself in my position and help me the way you will expect
people to assist you to redeem your family's wealth.I am Mr. Samuel Savimbi,
son of the late rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola who was killed on the
22nd of February 2002. Presently, I am desperately looking for a trustworthy
person to assist me in this confidential business.
My late father, Jonas Savimbi lodged huge sums of money realized from the
sales of diamonds and other precious stones / metals in different banks
in Europe. My father is presently no more, and the movement of his family
members (including me) is highly restricted, all his bank accounts and
properties
have been frozen and seized. We are forbidden to either travel abroad or
out of our immediate localities. Presently, I have just discovered a huge
deposit made by my father from the money realized from the last sales of
diamonds before is death .My father had deposited this money as diplomatic
consignment with a security firm in Europe, I have called the security
firm and they have confirm to me that the consignment is with them. I have
all the documents with me right now that is be needed to collect the consignment
from the security firm, my father has instructed the security firm in his
deposit request to release consignment to any three family members which
includes myself, my mother and only sister who is also dead incase of emergency
or death. Right now my family has given me the authority to do everything
possible to get the consignment out as this is the only hope we have now
to bring the family out of its present poor financial state.
I am therefore soliciting your help to have this consignment collected
by you and the funds transferred into your account. I will give you all
the necessary documentations to facilitate your collection of the consignment
personally.The government has no or will never have knowledge of this business,
so there is no need to be worried about your safety. I guarantee you your
safety.Once I have your complete assurance that you can handle this, I will
immediately send to you the relevant documents that will enable you take
possession of the consignments. This will include certificate of deposit
and shipment airway bill and all other relevant documents.
However, in return for all your assistance we have decided to offer you
15% of the total amount of money as your share and 5% for all your expenses
which will include your travel expenses and every other expenses you incure
in the cause of this transaction, such as your telephone bills etc,this
makes a total of 20% my family has agreed to give to you for helping us
secure the money.
I am waiting for your response to enable us proceed.Please reply me immediately
you receive this mail via my Private E-mail: sasam0savi@tiscali.co.uk

Regards,
Samuel Savimbi.

"late rebel leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola who was killed on the
22nd of February 2002. "

its not good manners to be late if your a rebel leader, no wonder he got killed
remember that rebel leaders, be on time, don't be late!

I think they must have a class all these clowns go to and a fill in the blanks form letter. Every dam one of them has a variation of the same dead relative story. I get them in batches like 3 or 4 at a time so they must have key words that they search places like the HAMB for rubes. When I am bored I screw with them and lead them on asking for shit I know they won't do, like telling them I am ready to help but my advisor says we must make all deals through the embassy to make sure we aren't dealing with a scam. Then they get all puffy because you don't trust them like they have trusted you. Believe me these people are getting trained to do this, there is no creativity or individuality to their letters or responses. Lead them on, waste thier time, have fun with it

I'd be careful messing with them, especially if your email is in anyway traceable. I saw something in the news of someone gone missing after getting into it with them. Supposedly it's an organized crime over there. Probably do have classes.

Wow Glen it takes a lot to upset me but your ignorance has certainly done it! I don't know what relevance HABIB has to do with an African name or concern! It's pretty sad that you had to target the wrong race of people because you're to lazy to check your facts prior to writing on a topic that is way off topic for this board. Perhaps a conspiracy board would be more to your liking! Hopefully you're hotrod building skills are better than your fact checking abilities!
I'm not Arabic by any means but I have lived, worked, and partied in Dearborn (highest Arabic population outside of the middle East) most of my life. A lot of my friends are Middle eastern and my niece is half Arabic as my brother-in-lw is Arabic. I really like this oard because ignorant statements aren't very prevelant but calling someone HABIB (actually spelt Habibe) is pretty racist and not really acceptable.
Just so you have some background information here is some information about Jonas Savimbi so you're next ignorant comment can have a little education behind it! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
1934—2002, Angolan rebel leader. He was a founding member of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) in 1966. Savimbi was included in the interim independent government with Neto and Roberto in 1974 but returned to armed opposition when Neto's Marxist government was established. Aided by the United States and South Africa, he led a guerrilla war over much of Angola (1975—91) until a cease-fire was achieved. Running for president, Savimbi refused to accept his defeat in the 1992 elections, and UNITA resumed armed conflict with government forces, initially with much success. After reverses in 1994, however, UNITA signed a new peace accord; under it Savimbi was offered one of two Angolan vice presidencies, which he declined. With renewed warfare in 1998, the government said it would no longer recognize the 1994 agreement or deal with Savimbi, instead recognizing a splinter group, UNITA Renovada. Savimbi was killed in an ambush in 2002.

Really I'm not mad at the world, I'm not trying to fight prejudice or anything like that. I do however feel a little education is key in makeing an entire race look bad. I'm also not a sucker so I won't be helping him out anytime soon. You may return to your Klan meeting now! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Dvlscpe......Your profile states you own "a super gay scooter", is that a slam toward gay people? lighten up dude, it was a joke.
As for my building skills, if you dont know them you are probably too new to the HAMB to be making any strong statements.

Pork-n-Beaner,
I just got that same e-mail from Godwin tonight and was confused as I too have a Model A that I didn't realize was advertised. It came to my E-mail address and not HAMB. Somethings hokey. I'll write em back and tell em I'll trade even for monkey sex with their mom and let you know if it is the foreign Mob or not. I could stand to go missing for a while...maybe wake up in a tub packed in ice with no spleen or something.

Glen I beleive your building abillity is very strong I've read posts from you and about you. I just felt the shot at Habibe was a little off seeing as how this is an African deal...Call a spade a spade if you will. I didn't mean to upset anyone. And it's a gay scooter 'cause I live near Ferndale and a lot of gay people do have the same one! I'll stay in line from now on http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
