SOUTH AFRICA,
ATTN: DIRETCOR/CEO
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL.
I am fifty-two years old widow (the second wife) of late President Laurent Kabila of the Republic of Congo. My husband was the former President of D.R.C who was assassinated by one of his own bodyguards on 16th January 2001.
At the mid-term of the rebellion which is still on in my country, I, my son and the younger brother of my husband went out of Congo according to my husband's instruction before his death because the fate of our country was yet to be decided. We came with sealed
diplomatic baggage to South Africa.
On arrival in South Africa, we sought for political asylum. We were not allowed to operate a bank and I was so scared and I decided to deposit the money in a
Security Company. Because I wanted to be on a safer side; I told them that the baggage belongs to my foreign affiliate who is the beneficiary of the item.
Since then, I have been looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to help me transfer this money into a foreign account overseas prior to investment in any conducive country overseas. I got in contact with someone but he became unnecessarily greedy concerning
his share in the transaction; he asked for 40%. Luckily, I ran into your number and details and decided to contact you and see if you could be of any help to us.
We intend to share this money (US$15.5 m) as follows: (1)20% of the total sum to you if you assist us in transferring this money into any of your overseas accounts.
(2)5% of the total sum will be set aside to offset all bills and expenses incurred in the process of thistransaction. (3)75% of the total sum will be for the family investment in any country of which you will be a guide to us. Please should this meet your utmost consideration, please contact my son (Mr. Bongo Kabila) through his fax or phone numbers above. Feel free to ask questions you consider necessary. Please include your private telephone and fax numbers for easier communication. The confidentiality of this transaction cannot be over emphasized as we trust and believe that you will oblige us the needed security and attention it demands. Please, treat this transaction with absolute
confidentiality.
Yours faithfully,
MONICA KABILA,
