Dear Friend,
I AM MRS. MARIAM SESE-SEKO WIDOW OF LATE PRESIDENT
MOBUTU SESE-SEKO OF ZAIRE. NOW KNOWN AS DEMOCRATIC
REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC). I AM MOVED TO WRITE YOU THIS
LETTER, THIS WAS IN CONFIDENCE CONSIDERING MY PRESENT
CIRCUMSTANCE AND SITUATION. I ESCAPED ALONG WITH MY

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC) TO LOME-TOGO,WHERE
MY FAMILY AND I SETTLED, WHILE WE LATER MOVED TO
SETTLED IN MORROCO WHERE MY HUSBAND LATER DIED OF
CANCER DISEASE.
HOWEVER DUE TO THIS SITUATION WE DECIDED TO CHANGED
MOST OF MY HUSBAND'S BILLIONS OF DOLLARS DEPOSITED IN
SWISS BANK AND OTHER COUNTRIES INTO OTHER FORMS OF
MONEY CODED FOR SAFE PURPOSE BECAUSE THE NEW HEAD OF
STATE OF (DR) MR LAURENT KABILA HAS MADE ARRANGEMENT
WITH THE SWISS GOVERNMENT AND OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
TO FREEZE ALL MY LATE HUSBAND'STREASURES DEPOSITED IN
SOME EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. HENCE MY CHILDREN AND I
DECIDED LAYING LOW IN AFRICA TO STUDY THE SITUATION
TILL WHEN THINGS GETS BETTER, LIKE NOW THAT PRESIDENT
KABILA IS DEAD AND THE SON TAKING OVER(JOSEPH KABILA).
ONE OF MY LATE HUSBAND'S CHATEAUX IN SOUTHERN FRANCE
WAS CONFISCATED BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT, AND AS SUCH
I HAD TO CHANGE MY IDENTITY SO THAT MY INVESTMENT WILL
NOT BE TRACED AND CONFISCATED. I HAVE DEPOSITED THE
SUM OF[ US$ 18 000,000) MLLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS
WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN south Africa
FOR SAFE KEEPING. THE FUNDS ARE SECURITY
CODED TO PREVENT THEM FROM KNOWING THE CONTENT. WHAT I
WANT YOU TO DO IS TO INDICATE YOUR INTEREST THAT YOU
WILL ASSIST US BY RECEIVING THE MONEY ON OUR BEHALF IN
SOUTH AFRICA
FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, WE ARE OFFERING YOU 25% OF
THE TOTAL SUM, 70% FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WHILE 5%WILL BE MAPPED OUT FOR ANY
EXPENSES WE MAY INNCURS DURING THIS TRANSACTION.
I WANT YOU TO ASSIST IN AND INVESTING THIS MONEY, BUT
I WILL NOT WANT MY IDENTITY REVEALED. I WILL ALSO WANT
TO BUY PROPERTIES AND STOCK IN MULTI-NATIONAL
COMPANIES AND TO ENGAGE IN OTHER SAFE AND
NON-SPECULATIVE INVESTMENTS. MAY I AT THIS POINT
EMPHASISE THE HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENTIALITY, WHICH
THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS, AND HOPE YOU WILL NOT BETRAY
THE TRUST AND CONFIDENCE, WHICH I REPOSE IN YOU IN
CONCLUSION, IN THE EVENT YOU ARE INTRESTED TO ASSIST
US I WILL LIKE YOU TO CONTACT MY LAWYER WHO I HAVE
