BUSINESS PROPOSAL
This letter may come to you as a surprise, but be assured that it is in good
faith from a family in dare need of help. I am Mrs. Doreen williams, the wife
of late Brigadier B. C. williams, the public relation officer to the late
Laurent Kabila former president of the Democratic Republic of Congo who was
assassinated on Tuesday, the 16th of January 2001 by one of his bodyguards
who also comes from the same community with him.
Your firm was introduced to me by a financial consultant whom I consulted in
my search for a reliable individual company who can assist my son john williams
in transferring a reasonable sum of money US$ 23. 5 million
(Twenty Three Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) into your
company’s private account for safekeeping.
Originally this money (US$ 23. 5 million) was mapped our for military seminar
scheduled to be held on the 19th January 2001 in the capital city of Kinshasa,
and my husband was solely in charge of the organizing of the seminar.
Unfortunately the news of the assassination of the president broke on
the 16th and my husband used the opportunity to divert the fund for our
family future planning and therefore cleverly moved into South Africa and
deposited the consignment containing the fund in a private Security & Finance
Company in South Africa.
He came back from South Africa after depositing the money and was arrested
along with other top officials of the government by Major General Joseph
Kabila, the son of the late president who is now the new president, with the
intention to rope them in, unfortunately my husband died in detention on the
15th April 2001.
Tentatively, we have agreed to offer you 25% of the total amount for your
assistance, 5% has been mapped out to offset expenses that may be incurred
by both parties in the course of this transaction and 70% will be kept for
our family investment in your country.
You will understand that the continuous existence of this family depends on
this fund, this is why I have taken this responsibility of making this
initial contact for my son john. Therefore, on acceptance of this proposal,
you are advised to contact john on telephone + 27-839622208,Fax + 448703890213or
email:williamskab3@yahoo.co.uk for more details on this transaction and also please
do furnish him with your private telephone number for easier and effective
communication.
I wish to assure you that this transaction is risk free and machinery
necessary for the speedy conclusion has been successfully arranged.
Thanks and God bless.
Doreen williams
