Subject: RE:
Dearest,
I need your help!
I am the son of late Pascal Kabungulu Kibembi (foremost human rights activist in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo). My father died on July, 2nd, 2006, as a result of inhuman treatment torture meted out on him while in prison by the government of Laurent Joseph Kabila which led to his untimely death.
However, it is particularly important to mention here that before the Death of my father, he was a successful Civil Servant and also a businessman, his business empire includes real estate, exportation and consultancy services which cut across Africa. There was a twist in my father's success story following his confrontation with the government of Laurent Joseph Kabila, (DRC), who has been quite high-handed and dictatorial in his policies and day-to-day running of the affairs of the Congolese people. My father being a human rights activist criticized his government in both local and International newspapers. This infuriated him and he clamped my father in jail, Seize our properties, until his Death on July, 2nd, 2006, while in prison. Before the arrest of my father, his attorney acting upon his instructions transferred the sum of Twelve Million Seven Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars ($12.7m) from his local Banks to a Security and finance Firm Abroad. He did this for fear of his accounts being frozen by the government.
Following my father's death, and the present face-off between Laurent Joseph Kabila and my family, I was then advised by my father's attorney to seek political asylum in Lome Togo, West Africa and to seek the assistance of someone based in your country to receive the amount in question being ($12.7m), since I have the intention of relocating my family there with the aim of settling down there and investing. As the eldest son of my late father and according to our tradition in Africa, I have now inherited my entire father's wealth; I have decided to give you 25% of the total amount for your assistance and services.
I shall expect you to keep this transaction confidential due to the present circumstance of my family. To finalize this transaction you will have to contact me via my e-mail Address above & garangkibembi@myway.com, further discussions will be centered on how and when you shall be meeting with the Security and finance Firm Abroad.
We urgently await your response.
Yours Faithfully and God blessed.
Garang Audre Kibembi Jnr.
