Subject: REQUEST FOR BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
Dear sir,
Good-day to you, I am collins udoka , the only son of
late Major udoka Mwanode, out of his six children.
My father was one of the Policy maker in the Congolese
Army, in fact, he was the Presidential Adviser on
National Security during the regime of President
Laurent Kabila
During the regime of President Laurent Kabila, my
father was assigned on a trade mission to source and
purchase equipment for the Congolese Mining industry
in abroad. However, the negotiation for the
procurement of the equipment came to an abrupt end
when he (my father) received the news of the demise of
President Laurent Kabila. I wish to inform you that
the sum of US$ 15.3M, which was meant for the purchase
of the equipment was packed in a diplomatic case and
deposited in a private security company in Europe.
My father went back home with the Government
Delegation on the 27th January,2001. But on their
arrival they were all arrested. My father was later
prosecuted in the court and sentenced to 10 years
imprisonment. One year later, he was released and
placed on house arrest because of his ailing health.
He later died on the 28th February, 2003. Before the
death of my father, he handed over to me all the
documents related to the fund that he deposited in
Europe. I left Congo shortly after the death of my
father to Europe, with the assistance of our family
lawyer. Now that I am in Europe, I am seeking for a
foreign investor who can assist me to invest this fund
into a viable project.
The would – be investor is bond to have a quarter of
the total amount for whatever assistance rendered, and
the remaining three quarter is for me and my family.
In addition, you stand to gain from any investment you
introduced to me after the conclusion of this
transaction (based on agreement).
Please Keep this transaction strictly confidential for
security reasons.
