Subject: HONEST BUSINESS PARTNER NEEDED
From Mrs.Gloria Ntanda,
TEL+27-72-985 7390
Attn:Sir,Madam
URGENT FAMILY HELP NEEDED
With truth and sincerity I write you this letter hoping that you will
be of good assistance to my family. For the purpose of introduction, I
am MRS. Gloria Ntanda, from the Democratic Republic of Congo {DRC}the
wife of the late MR. ALBERT NTANDA.
My late husband MR. ALBERT NTANDA was the Managing Director of the
Democratic Republic of Congo {DRC} Gold and Diamond Mine industry During
the reign of late president of Congo, Laurent Kabila who was assassinated
on 16 January 2001 and his son Joseph Kabila was named head of state
ten days later .And my late husband was killed by rebel groups as the
crisis accusing him of been a supporter of Laurent Kabila during
beginning of the civil war in my country.
I got this address through network on line, courtesy of South African
information exchange here in Johannesburg; hence I write to ask of your
kind favor and gesture. However, we are saddled with the problem of
securing a trust worthy individual with a confidential and certified
foreign account to perfectly transfer the sum of US$14.4 Million united
states dollars and 40kg of Alluvial Lingo Gold, (22carat), or a trustworthy
company. My late husband on my behalf in Johannesburg, South Africa
deposited this consignment {MONEY} before he was assassinated.
Due to the South African Government Policy prohibit an asylum seeker
[refugee} from operating Bank account or indulging in any business
transaction whatsoever, I and my family decided to seek for a foreign
partner be it a personal or company to assist us transfer this consignment to
abroad for investment purposes.
The ethnic conflicts had started over land issues but ended up as
bloody struggles for control of resources, as in the case of Ituri Province
in the northeast where leaders of armed groups have manipulated
tensions between the Hema and the Lendu peoples to serve their own political and economic interests. According to a demographic study published in
April 2003 by the International Rescue Committee, an NGO based in the US,
over 3.3 million people have died in the conflict. A great number died
of side effects of the war such as malnutrition and diseases caused by
massive displacement of population and the collapse of the country's
political and health-care systems.
This conflict is one of the most deadly in Africa's historyi I feel
confident to introduce this offer to you as a trustworthy and a humane
person. For your participation and assistance of this transfer, a
negotiable percentage will be discussed based on your interest but my family is
willing to offer 20% of the total sum for the assistance.
Conclusively, you're requested to furnish me back your interest in the
above matter by e-mail provided bellow. All I need from you are:
Your personal telephone/fax numbers for easy communication and your
personal details (identification) to enable me furnish you with more
information regarding this matter. I will need this transaction to be
concluded within a short period so I can relocate to your country and invest under your supervision. Kindly attend to this letter as a letter from a
widow who is in need of your assistance.
Waiting for your urgent reply
Thanks for your co-operation.
God bless you.
MRS. Gloria Ntanda
