From: "Maria Kabila" <maria_kabila@msn.com>
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2005 13:26:09 +0000
Subject: I am hoping to hear from you.
ATTN:
I am very much interested to enter into a mutual business relationship with
you, after going through hell in the hands of my step son.
I am Madam Maria Kabila, the second wife of the late president of Democratic
Republic of Congo, Laurent Desire Kabila who was assasinated on January 16th
2001 by one of his security aides.
I am under sever pressure from this present military government headed by
the first son of my late husband, General Joseph Kabila who felt victimized
due to the incessant family problems between his biological mother and I. He
has siezed all the deposited funds registered under my care by my late
husband, through the help of his friend who is the Governor of Central Bank
of Congo.
However, I have USD$25M (Twenty five Million United States Dollars}
currently in a coded security company vault overseas, which I now intend to
use to establish a profitable business venture abroad to enable me and my
family start life all over again. As a result, I am urgently in need of a
very reliable investor participant who is not known as my associate, that I
could entrust with the PIN and Certificate of Deposit to help me remove the
fund since no name were used in securing the vault.I cannot succesfully
claim it myself as the government searchlight is still on my immediate
family, hence I crave your assistance.
You will in addition bank and assist me in investing (with my lawyers
approval on project) as a front until the situation becomes more favourable
for us to now meet and discuss the way forward.
Finally, more details on the logistic and modalities of the transaction will
be given to you on my recieving your acceptance letter.I will like you to
reply if you are interested in helping me through this transaction.
I am hoping to hear from you.
Best regards,
Madam M. Kabila
