URGENT ASISTANT NEEDED
ATTN:
I got your contact in my search for an honest, godly and trustworthy
foreign
partner to assist me transacta rather very lucrative but confidential
business. First, I must introduce myself to you. I am Sulaman Houseni, a
former aide de camp and cousin to the late President of DEMOCRATIC
REPUBLIC
OF CONGO(DRC) (formerly known as Zaire), LAURENT KABILA. Due to the
war
raging in my country then the late President,Laurent Kabila was using
me
through diplomatic means to send money out of the Republic because he
had
feared that he might be overthrown or killed at anytime. He wanted to
provide for his family.
On this particular occasion the late President gave me the sum of (US$10.5 million u.sdollar)
to carry abroad
through
SENEGAL.This money was packed into a SAFE-BOX and brought
SENEGAL
by DIPLOMATIC MEANS. It is here in SENEGAL that the news of
the
death of the President reached me, just exactly as he feared. May his
soul
rest in peace! After receiving the news ofthe President's death, I was
faced with deciding on what to do with the US$10.5 MILLION u.s dollars
in my possession. I then deposited
theSAFE-BOX containing this money in a PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY here in
SENEGAL as FAMILY VALUABLES,without disclosing real content of it
to
them. My objective now is to invest this money in a foreign country
like
yours.
I will also appreciate enteringinto a profitable joint venture with you
after the safe transfer of the money. I am by this mail asking you to
assist
me transfer this money to your personal/corporate possition. For your
assistance, I shall compensate you with 20% ofthe total sum. I have
also set
aside 5% of the totalsum for expenses you and l may incur in course of
this
transaction. The remaining 75% will be for my family,which you will
help us
invest. Kindly, contact me by this email address. I will furnish you
with
the details of the transaction as soon as you assure me of your honesty,
trust and determination to help me. Note that all necessary
arrangements
for the success of this transaction have been concluded by me here
and the
transaction will take us a maximum of 5 [five]working days to
accomplish.
There is no risk involved.your private phone and fax numbers are highly
needed foreasier communications.i am experting to hear from you
soonest.
Thanks.Best regards,
Sulaman Houseni
