Atten.
Kindly allow me the modesty of introducing myself. I am
PRINCE JOHN KABILA,the son of the former head of state/
president of Congo-Kinshasha(then called Zaire) Mr. Laurent
Desire Kabila.
I am contacting you in order to ask for your assistance on
this confidential Business proposal with full financial
benefit for both of us.
Before I go into further details please be informed that I
am writing without any other person(s) pre-knowledge of my
contacting you on this transaction.
Therefore I will appreciate same attitude to be maintained
all through.
I have the sum of USD55Million from a secret sale of
Diamond by my father before he was assassinated by one of
his body guard (Rashid) on January 16th 2001, which I will
like you to receive on my behalf due to security reasons,as
my narration below will explain.
But before I continue be well informed that your share in
this transaction has been calculated at 15% of the total
sum of USD$55M, 5% for expenses and the rest for my family
and me.
My father as a real African traditionalist was a polygamist
thereby having married so many wives, and my mother being
the second wife of my father,My step brother Joseph, who is
the current president of my country, is the son of the
first wife and he does not have any knowledge about this
deal.
Already president Joseph is using his power to colonize all
the money and private property, which my father left behind
for the whole family.
Now my mother and I are left with nothing in the
inheritance of my late father's wealth. Our situation is
seriously critical that we need your assistance to help us
receive these funds overseas for proper investment.
Let me quickly assure you the 100% safe proof of this
transaction because the diamond sales are packaged from the
onset in a pattern that shows no direct trace or linkage
with us (Kabila family).
At present the money is in cash and is secured in a
(CARL SECURITY AND FINANCE TRUST COMPANY IN ACCRA GHANA)
The fund will be released within seven (7) days of my being
in receipt of your reply via my email address above only
for security reasons.
I am waiting for your swift and favorable response, and in
case you have any question(s),do not hesitate to contact or
ask me.
Best Regards,
Prince John Kabila.
