Wtf is this?

I just received this through e-mail. No scripts was included and the attached notes.txt file simply is a textfile of e-mail addresses, thus it is not a virus. Clearly it's not your regular case of spam either - so anyone got a good guess at what this is?


From [email protected] Sun Jul 7 21:05:45 2002
Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2002 19:54:42 -0700
From: Tao Savimbi
Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE

>From Tao,

This is not a fictitious letter, neither is it a joke.
I am Mr. Tao Sakaita, son of the late rebel leader
Jonas Savimbi of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of
Febuary 2002 . I managed to get your contact details
through the web site on your home page.



Time is of the importance and I was desperately looking
for a person to assist me in this confidential business.

My late father, Jonas Savimbi was able to deposit a
large sum of money in differnt banks in europe We his
family members movements(including me) is restricted. We are forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our
localities. Presently our movement are monitored.
Right now there is a rush for all my Father's wealth
both home and Abroad by the Government who are claiming that
most of the wealth was got by Arms smuggling and therefore
illegal and by my father's extended family and relations.

You can know more about my father by checking his
profile at the URL below:
www.kwacha.com/edoc2.htm

His wealth has been estimated at about $500 million . I being close to my father I happen to be in
possesion of documents and information of some of the wealth.

Presently, the US$100,000,000.00 One Hundred Million
Dollars cash my father transfered to Europe before his
death for some purchases he intended to make is safe and is in a security firm. I have the passcode and the
documents to the security firm. This is where I will
need your help because at present i cant travel.
And before my government get wind of this fund.
You know my father was a rebel leader in
Angola before his death My reason for doing this is
because it will be difficult for the Angolan
government to trace my father's money to an
individual's account, especially when such an
individual has no relationship with the family.

I intend to communicate with you as regards this transaction on a satelite phone to avoid intervention by anybody.

Moreover, the political climate in Angola at the
moment being so sensitive and unstable.With this
password and information and I will send you a
power of attorney to the security firm, When you
are ready I will give you the information needed
before you can get access to the fund you will then
proceed to the security company where the US$100,000,000.00 will be given to you as payment
either installmentally or in cash.


PLEASE YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS TRANSACTION IS
HIGHLY REQUIRED.


Yours sincerely,

TAO S. SAVIMBI.

Needless to say I do not know this Mr Savimbi or any other Angolan as far as I am aware.

Oh, he wants my bank account number. I read it twice before posting but I simply couldn't understand what he/they wanted from me.

Btw. what good would a bank account number do to anyone who's not me? Can you draw money from somebody elses account by simply knowing the account number?
