STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
ATTENTION: Sir
Greetings,
I know you will be surprise to read from me, but please consider this letter
as a request from a widow in dire need of assistance. I am Mrs. Manya Sasi
Kabila, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the three wives of
Late President of Democratic Republic of Congo Laurent Kabila (formerly
known as Zaire).
I found your E-mail address through my research for investment but
thoroughly I don’t know you, I just want a reliable company or individual
who can assist me in transferring a reasonable sum of money abroad for
Investment.
I on behalf of my brother Mr. Joe Sasi decided to solicit for your
assistance to transfer the sum of US$25.5 Million (Twenty-five Million Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) to your account/company account.
This money was part of the money secured by my Late Husband Laurent Kabila
when he was the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo. As the wife
he relied on, he drew my attention to the money in case of death or other
unforeseen circumstances. This fear was actualized on 16th January 2001,
when he was assassinated by his body guard.
For your awareness this fund was personally deposited by my Late Husband in
a Private Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa before his death.
I am in possession of all the documents involved in the said deposit. The
idea involving you in this transaction is for you to assist me in
transferring this money to your overseas account for investment purposes.
Contact my brother who is in South Africa on this telephone number +27-726-
864-147. Or fax him on 0027-11-219-7088. He is in position to inform you the
whole procedure mapped out for a successful transaction.
You will liaise with him to achieve this desirable objective.
We have agreed to give you 25% of total amount for your assistance and 5%
for any expenses that might be incurred by both parties in the course of
this transaction, while the remaining 70% will be for my family investment.
Please treat this matter with utmost urgency and confidentiality it
deserves.
May God bless you as I honestly hope for your urgent assistance?
Yours sincerely
Mrs. Manya Sasi Kabila
