ATTENTION:DEAR

( ASSISTANCE BUSINESS PROPOSAL)
I got your good contact from the world business
enquiry in South African INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL, and I
sincerely believe that you are reliable in handling
this urgent and international transaction of this
sort.I am MRS JOY BONGO, the wife of COL.JAMES BONGO,
the chief of army staff and one of the bodyguards of
this Excellency General Laurent Kabila, the President
of the Democratic republic of Congo (DRC) who was
short dead alongside by a co-body guard COL Eny-Kupen
on the 16 January 2001 as a result of political
conflict and disorder between the generals in the
presidential villa.
i am currently based in south africa, Before my
husband died in Exchange of guns shorts, I know quite
well he deposited the sum of US$27.8M(TWENTY SEVEN
MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND)
United State Dollars) in a private security firm in
south Africa for an investment after retirement in
United Kingdom but due to opposition of my late
husband, i decided to tranfer the fund for an
investment.
However, this proposal is to inform you that I
would like to transfer this money into your account
overseas or into an offshore account within the
shortest time. It is in the light of this, that I took
my time to arrange for a confidential and trustworthy
individual who will assist me in transferring this
fund by coming to southAfrica to open a non-resident
account, so that we can move out this fund out of
South Africa for security reasons and this will be
made possible with the help of my late husband
attorney and his friend, the bank manager supervising
the transaction. I have intact all the necessary
documents covering the business.
Note: This transaction demands the highest degree of
trust and secret between us as I have these two
options for your assistance towards the transaction.
(a)In appreciation of your effort I have mapped out
the sharing of the fund as follows; 70% for me 25% for
your efforts,5% for all the expenses incurred in the
transaction . (b)You can
as well agree with me to join business of your choice
with me in your country.
remember that this business transaction demands all
sounds of screcy and confidentiality.Please try and
give me your telephone and fax numbers for easier
communication,and more details.
Thanks
Yours sincerely
MRS JOY BONGO
