Dear Sir,

I know you will be surprised to read from me, but please consider this letter as a request from a family in dire need of assistance. First I must introduce myself, I am KENNETH MILLER from ANGOLA. I am the first and the only son of late BRIGADIER PAUL MILLER, I am presently residing in South Africa. I got your contact from a South African Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg and on behalf of my widowed mother, MRS PHILOMIN MILLER, decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of US$28Million (Twenty Eight Million United States Dollars) inherited from my late father into your personal or company account. Before my father's death, he was a Brigadier in charge of arms and ammunition purchases for the ANGOLAN Armed Forces. In his "WILL", he specifically drew my attention to this sum of US$28Million, which he deposited, in a safe box of private security company in South Africa, IN FACT MY FATHER SAID IN HIS WILL AND I QUOTE:

"My beloved son, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of US$28Million (Twenty Eight Million United States Dollars) which I deposited in a box with a security company in Johannesburg, South Africa. In case of my absence on earth caused by death only, you should solicit for a reliable foreign partner to assist you to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purposes. I deposited the money in your name and it can be claimed by you alone with the deposit code. You mother has all the documents. Take good care of your mother and two sister."

From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family depends on this money, as such I will be very grateful if you can assist us. We are now living in South Africa as political asylum seekers and the financial laws of South Africa do not allow asylum seekers certain financial rights to such a huge amount of money. In view of this, I cannot invest this money in South Africa, hence, I am asking you to assist me transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purposes. For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 25% of the total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and international expenses and 70% will be kept by my family and me.

Finally, modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we have establish trust and confidence between ourselves. Also furnish me your private phone and fax number for easy contact. Looking forward to your urgent reply and please treat as very urgent.

MR. KENNETH MILLER.
