Subject: From Mr. Peter Djaba

Dear Sir ,

Compliment of the season to you, I write to solicit your favour not Minding
that we have not known each other before putting this proposal to you. In
brief introduction, I am Mr. Peter Djaba Sese son of Dr.Djaba SESE SEKO ,
the only full blood brother to the late EX-ZAIREAN President MOBUTU SESE
SEKO.

We are presently in West Africa in the status of a refugee. My parents
recently passed away three years ago after a terrible illness in Lome-Togo.

Again to be precise and straight to you, my father was unable to face the
advancing rebel forces of the former President Laurent Kabila. That was why
we flew to Togo on self exile, where a terrible illness really put my father
on sick bed for months, and knowing of his health condition he revelled to
me a deposited sum of $26 million at a Finance Company in Ghana (Twenty Six
Million United State Dollars) as a family treasure. I am contacting you
based on evacuating the family treasure for me, to a more politically stable
country as yours and I will appreciate your efforts in searching and
recommending some viable investment areas in your country for a Joint
partnership venture with you.

I promise to offer you up to 25% as commission as soon as you are able to
prove to me your ability to convey this money and your trustworthy partner
to me, where this money will be in your care, because I am not at all
knowledgeable in the business environment.

Please, Kindly reply introducing yourself and your business interest to
enable us know ourselves and discuss further on how to move the money, you
will be furnished with the particulars regarding the deposit
of the money as soon as I recieve your interesting reply.

Please I will also appreciate your confidentiality in the whole
transaction. Believing that you will accept this proposal in good faith.

Reply as soon as possible.
Best regard,
Peter Djaba
