Attn:
Good day Sir/Madam.
My name is Mr Philip Kabila, Son of Laurent Desire Kabila, and the late President of the Democratic Republic of Congo. I got to know about you through a Business to Business (B2B) Manufacturer/ Distributor directory website on the internet. The reason why i am writting you is because i intend to propose a business joint venture to you. I inherited a sum of US$77.7M (Seventy seven million united state dollars) from my mother, Mrs Esther Kaide Kabila, who was the sole propietor of a diamond mine and a timber warehouse in my country before the brutal murder of my father.
I will understand if you find this a little bit of out of the ordinary, but i can assure you that this is not a joke and if we finally decide to agree to this arrangement, i sugget that we should try to get to know each other better. Since i´m the one who is introducing this idea, it will only be fair if i go first.
My journey began a couple of years ago i my home country, when a conspiration, among high ranking army official which included my father's half brother Lt. General Joseph Kabila the actual president of Congo, to kill my father and his entire nuclear family in a military coup. The plot succeeded on the 16th of January 2001. My late father was shot to death by his own body guard who was under the influence of his conspirators, at that point in time, my mother was managing her business estate and i was studying to be an engineer. In the light of this incident, i had to quit school, my mother sold her estate and had to arrange for her earnings to be deposited in a security vault in Europe, to be more specific, Madrid, Spain. After which we went on exile to South- Africa.
I am presently in Madrid and i intend to withdraw the money from the security vault and scout for a profitable financial investment, which brings me back to the reason why i have contacted you.
My proposal is this:
I will give you 30% of the total sum if you can gurantte that you will assist me by moving the money out of Spain for proper/safe banking in your country of origin/ residence: I will also like to invest the money in profitable economic sectors in your country, for that I will need you to give me advises of where and how to invest the money in your country.
I will need you to come to Spain and assist me in claiming the money from the security company handling the vault and banking transactions. I am presently in Spain as a political refugee, due to this status, I am not permitted to have this amount of money in my name in a bank account and besides that, I do not want to attract the attention of my father's assassins by having in my name, that sum of money, in a bank account in Spain, that can jeopardize the safety of my mother and I.
I will need you to keep this correspondence very confidential in order not to jeopardize the safety of my family.
Once the money has been withdrawn it will be deposited into your bank account and you will be allowed to withdraw the 30% corresponding to you and the rest will be invested in your country and used for the purchase of a residential home. My mother is still in South Africa and it is becoming riskier by the day for her to continue staying there so, when the money has been deposited into your bank account, I will need you to buy us a house in your country, that way my mother and i can move to your country .
It is also important that you can guarntte me that you are a trust worthy person because this money is all my mother and i have got left in this world, all my fathers assets and properties where seized by my father´s half brother during the crisis in my country, besides, when all this is over i intend to go back to school, so you can understand that i don´t have to make mistakes.
In conclusion, i hope you consider my proposal; i am looking forward to working with you.
Whatever your decision is, please feel free to contact me by telephone or by email.
My phone number is 0034 626 77 83 58 and my email address is philipkabila101@yahoo.com <mailto:philipkabila101@yahoo.com>.
In the interest of my mother´s safety and that of mine, i would urge you to keep this correspondance confidencial.
Best Regards,
Philip Kabila
