Good friend,
I am Kumba Kabila, the son of the third wife (Gloria) of late Mr.Laurent Kabila. I implore you to give this our appeal a thought by reaching us, at least, to check things out for yourself and help us for we are in dire need of help. My Father was killed unjustly by rebels’ troops who were against his Presidency. When he was alive, he was a former freedom fighter and later President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly Zaire. After the despotic rule of Joseph Mobutu Sese Seko.
After our father's demise, my stepbrother, Joseph Kabila, took over as President of our Country. But for the fact that we are not from the same mother, he relegated my mother, my siblings and I out of his Government; leaving us out without giving us a chance to partake in the legacy left by our father. To avoid confronting him, our family had a meeting where it was decided that our father's "Will" should be read. In the will my mother, my siblings and I inherited the sum of US$20 Million (Twenty Million Dollars).
We decided to transfer our fortune Overseas for investment because as long as my half brother remains President our lives are not safe in Congo. Hence we am contacting you to provide an overseas account of yours where we can transfer our inheritance (US$20 Million) before we leave to meet you in your Country.
My mother and I have succeeded in moving the money to South Africa through the help of our friend here. The money is now in a Security Company where it was kept for safekeeping and for security purposes. But President Joseph Kabila is pressing the South African Government to extradite us .For which reason we want to move out of South Africa to Overseas as it has become very apparent that South Africa is not very suitable and conducive for us to operate any form of enterprise.
Contact us immediately by mail to enable us discuss with you terms and conditions for assisting us. Treat this information with the utmost confidentiality and trust.
Our regards,
Mr. Kumba Kabila & Mrs. Gloria Kabila.
