Just as an FYI, it would appear that the Nigerian scam has now shifted to 
Angola.  In the real world, stay alert, and in the ME world, can -someone- 
please take a contract out on these folks?  :)

Compliments,

With a humbled heart and spirit I commit myself this day to write to you
 asking for your benevolent and kind consideration of my plight for
 assistance. I am making this contact on behalf of my family not minding the
 consequences but hoping that you would understand our predicament and come
 to our aid and assist us. I would also want to apologize for any
 inconvenience or embarrassment this might cause your person, as we neither
 know each other personally nor have had any previous contact or
 correspondence.

By deposition, I am Mrs. Roseline Fuma wife of deceased General Daniel Fuma,
 who until his unfortunate death on the 8th of February 2001 was the Director
 of Finance and Budgetary Control of the National Union for the Total
 Independence of Angola (UNITA) rebel faction of Angola. My husband was in
 charge of activities between UNITA and her Diamond trading partners
 worldwide mainly in Europe. Most of his activities centered mainly around
 the diamonds flown to Europe, through her connection in the London's De
 Beers Central Selling Organisation (CSO) to dealers contracted to UNITA. The
 revenue from these trades was basically used for the funding of UNITA's
 activities.

This unfortunate incidence which has left my four children and me demoralized
 happened at a checkpoint in the Eastern town of Lumbala, which shares a
 common border with Zambia. It occurred when government militiamen
 indiscriminately opened fire on my husband's vehicle injuring him and two
 aides; my husband died two days later after the incidence in a camp during
 treatment. Considering the ongoing intensified civil war between UNITA and
 the government, the children and I had to relocate to a town in Namibia
 through the assistance of some UN Officials where I am currently.

In April 2001, while going through my husband's confidential documents, I
 discovered a Certificate of Deposit regarding a set of two boxes with the
 description of "antique materials" in a Security Firm in a West African
 country. A personally handwritten memo by my husband indicated that there
 was a total of US$23,000,000.00 as the real content of the boxes, which was
 done so as to disguise the real content thereof for security reasons.
 Presently it is safe and the content undisclosed to the Security Firm.

With the situation I have found the children and myself, I am using this
 opportunity to ask for your assistance in putting up a formidable claim for
 the collection of these boxes from the Security Firm in West Africa. You
 will be expected to invest same in your name on my behalf while maintaining
 my anonymity in your proposed business undertaking. My situation is very
 desperate and I am incapacitated by the situation, as I do not have the
 know-how to handle such amount of money.

I am soliciting your assistance in terms of logistics and materials to be
 able to move the consignment from the Security Firm as the consignment have
 incurred a substantial amount of demurrage. All documents concerning the
 consignment are intact with me. I shall be very grateful to hear from you by
 forwarding your response to my alternative email address at
 fumams@excite.com as soon as possible.

Thanks for your anticipated understanding and cooperation in this respect.

Yours sincerely,

MRS. ROSELINE FUMA
