[Savannah-hackers] Appologies

[B O.E]

My Name is Charles Pedersen,and I am writing you from
my home in Santa Clara, about 165 miles east of
Havana,the Capital City of Cuba. Santa Clara is known
for two landmarks; The famous Revolutionary, the
Guevera is buried here; and it is home to one of
Cuba's largest universities, La Universidad Central
"Martha Abreu" de Las Villas.

This is a compelling story, and I beg you to be
patient and read through to the end?I was adopted in
1960, at age 14 months by Mr. Giovanni Pedersen, the
Sugar and tobacco millionaire; some say he also made
his fortune from the lucrative illicit drugs trade. My
adoption brought so much controversy that Mr. Martins
was forced by his family to put me into a foster home
at age 5,where I stayed until maturity; Like most
Cuban youths, I dreamt of freedom, which every one
here knows is called America; like most youths, in
time, I joined an Anti-Castro group and that merited
automatic 24 hours round the clock surveillance by the
Secret Police, but this is also normal in Cuba!My
father nevertheless funded my education through the
above mentioned university,where I graduated in
Automobile Engineering. 

I am now a mechanic, making just enough to take care
of my wife Vanassa, and 3 boys, Junior, Denis, and
woodison.

Sadly, My father died in 2000; left only his wife and
family (he died childless), and I was not invited to
his funeral by his family, but we mourned him deeply;I
had no memory of my real father; but I loved him for
his kindness to me; he frequently defied his family to
visit me?When I got married, he gave my wife a ring
present which we later found out was a diamond ring!
His Last Will and testament was read and probated. No
mention was made of me and my family. Understandably,I
carried on with my life.

Two weeks ago, I received a letter from Valencia,Spain
a country in Europe, from a Commission, and the
contents of that letter put me into shock! I kept the
letter for a week without mentioning it to my wife.
Eventually I revealed everything to her?apparently My
late father, Mr. Martins had provided for us after
all! Mr.Farigamo had bought shares worth about 8
Million American Dollars in 1978, (when I turned 18)
and left it in my name;over time, My father bought
more shares and increased the shareholding to USD28
million! ( I am made to understand that the current
market value is far in excess of this figure?). The
letter explained that according to the terms and
agreement reached with my late father, the shares were
to be delivered to me (The Beneficiary) one calendar
year after his death;The Director of Operation of the
Commission in his letter apologized to me for waiting
so long to contact me; information of my father?s
death simply did not reach him until a chance
newspaper publication alerted him of the fact.

I was then invited to come forward to Spain, to claim
my Inheritance! The total current value of my shares
now stand at approximately $43 million American
Dollars and rising!

But this simple invitation to travel to Spain is
fraught with problems! I have no International
Passport! It is impossible to travel out of
Cuba,unless with special permission which will of
course take months of paperwork to procure?As an
Anti-Castro sympathizer,I have absolutely no hope of
leaving Cuba legally?The only option is to leave by
illegal ferry to the American Coast of Miami, which is
extremely dangerous?Every one knows that success rate
is about 30%, the unlucky get captured and repatriated
back to prison. But the rich and the connected have a
better chance by using low flying aircraft ( whichwill
beat the Cuban Radar) to smuggle themselves out.I
therefore desperately need your help! I need you
to contact the Commission in Spain on my behalf ;
secure the Share Certificates from the Commission, and
sell/red eem the shares for the current market value
and deposit the money into your Bank Account. Once the
money is secured, I will make the usual underground
deal to be smuggled out of Cuba by aircraft, to
freedom! There is absolutely NO RISK to you in this
transaction; I and my family are the ones at risk... 

Therefore, I will make no attempt to call you by land
based telephone,which is routinely bugged and
monitored by the Secret Police.In consideration of
your expenses during the course of this transaction, I
freely offer you 20% of the value of my shares. If you
are willing to help me recover my inheritance, please
so indicate in your return reply mail and I will
follow
up with more details of the Commission contact address
and also more details of thetransaction.

Looking forward to your urgent response.
 
Sincerely,
Mr Charles Pedersen
