Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP
Djagba Refugee Camp,
Place Portaire,
Djagba-lomei 9224,
Lome-Togo.
Dear Sir,
Greeting to you, I am the son of the late Audre Kibembi (a
foremost human rights activist in the Eastern Democratic
Republic of Congo).My father died on January,21th,2006,as a
result of the inhuman treatment turture meted out on him
while in prison by the government of Laurent Joseph Kabila.
However, it is particularly important to mention here that
before the death of my father, he was a successful Civil
Servant and also a businessman, his business empire includes
real estate, exportation, and consultancy services which cut
across Africa.He was able to accumulate enough money both in
local and foreign currencies through his business empire. In
fact, he was at one time rated among the first five richest
Congolese businessmen by one of the leading business
magazines in my country. His entire business has been on the
upward trend over the past ten years, bringing his net
profit during the period under review to Twelve Million
Seven Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars ($12.7M),This of course
does not include his assets which are already running into
Millions of Dollars.
Having said all this, there was a twist in my father's
success story following his confrontation with the
government of Laurent Joseph Kabila, who has been quite
high-handed and dictatorial in his policies and day-to-day
running of the affairs of the Congolese people. My father
being a human rights activist, criticised his government in
both local and international newspapers.This infuriated him
and he clamped my father in jail until his death on
January,21th,2006,this year due to ill health. Fortunately,
before the arrest of my father,his attorney acting upon his
instructions, transferred the sum of Twelve Million Seven
Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars ($12.7m) from his local banks
to a Security Firm Abroad. He did this for fear of his
accounts being frozen by the government.Following my
father's death, my entire family decided to seek political
assylum in Djagba-lomei, Lome-Togo.As the eldest son of my
late father and according to our tradition in Africa, I have
now inherited all my father's wealth.Considering the present
face-off between Laurent Joseph Kabila and my family,I was
then advised by my father's attorney to seek the assistance
of someone based in your country to receive the amount in
question being ($12.7m).Since I have the intentionof
relocating my family there with the aim of settling down
there and investing.I have decided to give you 25% of the
total amount for your services and assistance.
To finalize this transaction you will have to contact me via
my e-Mail address above & garangakibembi@walla.com,further
discussions will be centered on how and when you shall be
meeting with the Security Firm Shortlisted Clearing Agent.I
shall expect you to keep this transaction confidential due
to the present circumstance of my family and I urgently
await your response.
Yours faithfull
Garang Audre Kibembi.
