Subject: FROM BARRY KABILA FAMILY
MR BARRY KABILA
30 VICTORIA STREET,
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
E-MAIL:barrykabila_family@yahoo.com
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.
ATTENTION:
You may be surprised to receive this message from me since you don't know me in
person, but for the purpose of introduction, I am MR.Barry Kabila, the son of late
MR.EKOHANA KABILA, who was murdered in a land dispute in ZIMBABWE.
I got your contact through the South African International Exchange Network On-line
here in Johannesburg, South Africa as reliable and trustworthy todeal with,then I
decided to write you. My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers
murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of President ROBERT
MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party.
Before the death of my father, he took me to South Africa to deposit the sum of
Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars ($20.5m) with a security and
finance company, as if he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was
deposited as a gem or precious stone to avoid much demurrage from the security
firm.
This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the
farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President R. MUGABE introduced a new land Act. which
wholly affects the White rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the
'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the government. This resulted to rampant killing and
mob actions.I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa as a refugee
or an asylum seeker have decided to transfer this money to a foreign country where
we can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in
South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in future since both
countries have the same political history.
Moreover, the South African monetary policy/law does not allow such investment hence
I am seeking for and asylum or refugee. I must let you know that this business
is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter. So
if you are willing to assist us,I and my family have agreed to give you 20% of the
total money, 35% will be for a joint business venture I will be doing with you and
another 40% will be for me and my family which we shall also invest in your country
and the remaining 5% will be mapped out for all expenses we may incurred during the
transaction.
Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance,
endeavor to reply through my email address.I also need your private phone and fax
number for easy communication. Remember that this is highly confidential and the
success of this business depends on how secret it is kept.Do you understand because
this money is my family last hope and we cannot afford to lose it, after the death
of my father.

Expecting your reply soonest.
Best Regard.
Mr.Barry Kabila.
