Dearest,

Kindly allow me the modesty of introducing myself. I am Mr Romila Kabila,the
second 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 fullfinancial
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 USD14Million 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 contin! ue be well informed that your share in this transaction has been
calculated at 25% of the total sum of USD$14M,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 me being the second son 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 i
was left with nothing in the inheritance of my late father 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 secur ity company
as family treasures, as I don't want to deposit the money in a financial
institution for fear of the funds being confiscated.

The consignment will be released within seven to (14) 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 haveany
question(s), do not hesitate to contact me.

PLEASE REPLY THROUGH THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR SECURITY REASONS:(romilakabila@hotmail.com.com).

Best Regards,
Romila Kabila.
