Subject: PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
FROM MONICA KABILA

Dear sir
I am forty-five years old widow (the second wife) of the late President
Kabila of the Republic of Congo. My husband was the former President of
D.R.C who was assassinated by one of his bodyguards on the 16th January
2001.
At the mid-term of the rebellion which is in my country, I, my son and
the
younger brother of my
husband went out of Congo according to my husband’s instruction before
his
death because the fate of our country was yet to be decided. We came
with
sealed diplomatic baggage to South Africa. on arrival in South Africa,
we
sought political asylum. We were not allowed to operate a bank account
and I
was scared and decided to deposit the money in a Security Company.
Because I
wanted to be on the safer side, I told them that the baggage belongs to
a
foreign affiliate, who is the beneficiary of the item.
Since then, I have been looking for a reliable and trustworthy person
to
help me transfer this money into a foreign account overseas prior to
investment, in any conducive country overseas. I got in contact with
someone, but he became unnecessarily greedy concerning his share in the
transaction, he asked for 40%. Luckily, I ran into your number and
details
and decided to contact you to see if you could be of any help to us.
We intend to share this money (US$25.5m) as follows: 25% of the total
sum
for you if you assist us in transferring this money into any of your
overseas accounts. 5% of the total sum will be set aside to offset all
bills
and expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. 70% of the
total
sum will be for the family investment in any country of which you will
be a
guide to us.
Feel free to ask any question you consider necessary. Please include
your
private telephone and fax numbers for easier communication. The
confidentiality of this transaction cannot be over emphasized as we
trust
and believe that you will oblige us the needed security and attention
it
demands. Please, treat this transaction with absolute confidentiality.
Yours faithfully,
Monica Kabila.
