Subject: URGENT ASISTANT IS NEEDED
DEAR FRIEND.
I AM MRS. AISHA SESE-SEKO WIDOW OF LATE PRESIDENT
MOBUTU SESE-SEKO OF ZAIRE? NOW KNOWN AS DEMOCRATIC
REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC).I RECEIVED YOUR
PROFILE FROM THE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE MORROCO
I AM MOVED TO WRITE YOU THIS LETTER, THIS WAS IN
CONFIDENCE CONSIDERING MY PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE
AND SITUATION. I ESCAPED ALONG WITH MY HUSBAND
AND TWO OF OUR SONS DAVID AND MUKOKO OUT OF
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC) TO ABIDJAN,
COTE D'IVOIRE WHERE MY FAMILY AND I SETTLED, WHILE
WE LATER MOVED TO SETTLED IN MORROCO WITH MY TWO SONS WHERE MY
HUSBAND LATER DIED OF CANCER DISEASE.
HOWEVER DUE TO THIS SITUATION WE DECIDED TO CHANGE
MOST OF MY HUSBAND'S BILLIONS OF DOLLARS DEPOSITED IN
SWISS BANK AND OTHER COUNTRIES INTO OTHER FORMS OF
MONEY CODED FOR SAFE PURPOSE BECAUSE THE NEW HEAD
OF STATE OF (DRC) MR LAURENT KABILA HAS MADE
ARRANGEMENT
WITH THE SWISS GOVERNMENT AND OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
TO FREEZE ALL MY LATE HUSBAND'S TREASURES DEPOSITED IN
SOME EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. HENCE MY CHILDREN AND I
DECIDED
LAYING LOW IN AFRICA TO STUDY THE SITUATION TILL WHEN
THINGS GETS BETTER, LIKE NOW THAT PRESIDENT KABILA IS
DEAD AND THE SON TAKING OVER(JOSEPH KABILA). ONE OF
MY
LATE HUSBAND'S CHATEAUX IN SOUTHERN FRANCE WAS
CONFISCATED BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT, AND AS SUCH
I HAD TO CHANGE MY IDENTITY SO THAT MY INVESTMENT
WILL NOT BE TRACED AND CONFISCATED. I HAVE DEPOSITED
THE SUM OF TEN MILLION UNITED
STATE DOLLARS(US$I0 MILLON)
WITH A SECURITY COMPANY , FOR SAFEKEEPING.
THE FUNDS ARE SECURITY CODED TO PREVENT THEM FROM
KNOWING THE CONTENT.
WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS TO INDICATE YOUR INTEREST THAT YOU
WILL ASSIST US BY RECEIVING THE MONEY ON OUR BEHALF.
ACKNOWLEDGE THIS MESSAGE, SO THAT I CAN INTRODUCE
YOU TO MY SON (DAVID) WHO HAS THE OUT MODALITIES
FOR THE CLAIM OF THE SAID FUNDS. I WANT YOU TO
ASSIST IN INVESTING THIS MONEY, BUT I WILL NOT WANT MY
IDENTITY REVEALED.
I WILL ALSO WANT TO BUY PROPERTIES AND STOCK
IN MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANIES AND TO ENGAGE IN
OTHER SAFE AND NON-SPECULATIVE INVESTMENTS.
MAY I AT THIS POINT EMPHASISE THE HIGH LEVEL
OF CONFIDENTIALITY, WHICH THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS,
AND HOPE YOU WILL NOT BETRAY THE TRUST AND CONFIDENCE,
WHICH I REPOSE IN YOU.IN CONCLUSION, IF YOU WANT TO
ASSIST US , MY SON SHALL PUT YOU IN THE PICTURE OF
THE BUSINESS, TELL YOU WHERE THE FUNDS ARE
CURRENTLY BEING MAINTAINED AND ALSO DISCUSS OTHER
MODALITIES INCLUDING RENUMERATIONS FOR YOUR SERVICES.
FOR THIS REASON KINDLY FURNISH US YOUR CONTACT
INFORMATION, THAT IS YOUR PERSONAL TELEPHONE
AND FAX NUMBER FOR CONFIDENTIAL PURPOSE AND
ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS MAIL USING THEABOVE EMAIL
ADDRESS.
BEST REGARDS,
MRS A. SESE SEKO
