Togo-Lome
Dear Joe Wein,
I know this proposal might come to you as a surprise.My knowing you is an
ark of God.
I was convinced as to solicit for your support and assistance after reading
your profile. I am Madu Seko, the son of the former president of Zaire now
Democratic Republic of Congo former president of Zaire now Democratic
Republic of Congo(President Mobutu Sese-Seko) my father was violently
overthrown from the Office on May 13,1998 by forces loyal to rebel leader
LAURENT KABILA.
Following the overthrown which forced my father into exile to Morocco in
North Africa where he later died.With the overthrown and unfortunate death
of my father, the Kabila Government seized all my father’s Bank Account and
family business invested in so me African Countries and that has rendered
the family helpless. Recently, our family house in Switzerland was auctioned
by Kabila Government and the proceed was repatriated to the same Government.
With this development, the family has empowered me to seek for any honest
and God fearing individual who will assist in transferring the huge amount
of US$45 million to a less tax account overseas.
I have deposited this money with a private Security and Finance Trust
Company in one of the African Countries as GOLD DUST. This money is part of
the fund set aside by my father for the purchase of arms and ammunitions
worth US$60million through independent arm dealers in Russia which some of
it (US$15m)has used during the power tussle between my father Kabila. I was
arrested and detained when Kabila discovered that I am signatory to
President Mobutu’s account in switzerland.
I was smuggled out of detention with the help of my close friends who are
still serving under President Kabila. I escaped from the Country through the
Congo river with the help of fishermen. I am now residing temporarily in
Lome-Togo. Now that Kabila has died. He was assassinated on January 16th
2001, his son (Joseph Kabila) has taken over the Government. The state of
the Government is still in fear.
All I want from you is to come to Lome-Togo, West Africa, where we will hold
a meeting and proceed to the Security Company where you will see the money
yourself and you assist to negotiate for the transfer of the fund into your
overseas Bank Account, this transaction will not take more than 2-3days from
your arrival date.
The family has resolve that 25% will be your share for your assistance in
this purpose and other assistance you will be given in this regard. 5% will
be mapped out to pay local and International expenses which may be incurred
in the process of securing this money. 70% is for the family Financial needs
and for investment overseas with your comprehenssive advice.
If my proposal are Ok, you are required to forward your reply through my
email box.Upon receipt of your favourable response, I will advice the
Security Company to change the Beneficiary right to your name for easy
transfer of the money your account overseas.
Please, feel free to ask any question and seek for explanations if required.
Best regards,
Madu Seko
