Dear Sir,
SEEKING IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.
Greetings to you, I wish to seek yourassistance in a project I will reveal
to you shortly. My name isCOL.JAMES OKOYE of the Democratic Republicof
Congo. I was a closefriend of the former President of the Democratic Republic
of CongoLAURENT KABILA of Blessed
memory, may his soul rest in peace. WhileLAURENT KABILA was still alive
he secretly confided in me to take somefunds abroad to keep in a secret
account, which will be used to fightopposition forces back home in the Congo.
He gave me (Thirthy MillionUnited States Dollars)(US$30.M USD) cash to go
with.But a day before Iwas schedule to travel out of Congo, we heard that
President LaurentKabila had been shot by his aide (Col. Rasheidi
Karesava).
Afterall these trouble, I couldn't travel with the funds so I decided tokeep
it safely in a secret vault in Congo. Since the issue of the fundswas a
secret between the late Head of States and myself, I couldn't tell anyone
in my country for the safety of my life.
I am now retired from the military and intend to live a normal life with
myfamily I have to transfer these funds abroad because it's safety is being
threatened by the series of military unrest in the country, thus Iseek your
assistance to provide a very suitable account. I havesufficient contacts
to move the fund under Diplomatic coverage to asecurity company in the Netherlands
in your name. This is to ensure thatthe diplomatic baggage is marked confidential
and it will not passthrough normal custom/airport screening and clearance.
My inabilityto move this money out of Congo all this while lies on my lack
of truston our supposed good friends (western countries) who have suddenlybecame
hostile to those of us who worked with the late President Laurent Kabila,
since his son took office.
Though we have neitherseen nor met each other, I know we will be able to
establish all thetrust that we need to ensure that the funds is safe with
you. Thus,ifyou are willing to assist me to move this fund out of Congo,
you cancontact me through my email address sending your telephone and faxnumbers
to enable us discuss the modalities and what your share(percentage) for
assisting me will be. I will highly appreciate itif my request is given
utmost priority and consideration.contact me onmy private

James Okoye (RTD)
