EMAIL:joankabila@yahoo.com
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have the honor and confidence to introduce to you this business in view of
the fact that you are trustworthy and reliable in business. Obviously, you
will be surprised to read this letter from me, but consider it as a request
from a family in dare need of foriegn assistance. My mother got your contact
information when she was searching for my father's friends abroad.
I am Mr.Joan Kabila, the first son of the second wife of Laurent Kabila, the
immediate past President of Democratic Republic of Congo. Before the death
of my father in January 16th 2001,he deposited $14.5.Million(FOURTEEN
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS) in my mother's name ( MARIAM
KABILA) in a safe box of a private Security Company in Belgium, Europe.He
did this because of the love and how intimate he was with my mother. He
wanted to use this money for campaign for the next election, but
unfortunately his own body guard assassinated him. Now, my mother saw it as
an opportunity to divert the money for her own personal use because the
first wife and her son Joseph Kabila (President) did not know about this
money and moreover they are not in good terms with us.Right now, we are
living in Belgium as political asylum seekers and the financial laws of
Belgium do not permit us certain financial rights. In view of this, we can
not invest this money in Belgium that is why my mother is asking you to
assist us transfer this money out of here for investment in your country.
At the conclusion, that is when the money must have been in your account, I
propose to give you 25% of the amount, 70% will be for me and 5% will be set
aside for any expenses both parties might incure during the transaction.
Please, note that this business is 100% risk-free and our only worry is the
safety of this money. Once it gets into your account, we want you to assure
us the safety of this money. If you are interested send to me your private
telephone/fax number for the confidentiality of this business.I assure you
that if you show me your readiness and trust in the next 3 working days,
this business will be concluded.
My dear one,even if you are not interested kindly get back to me so that I
can as well look for some one else that can help me out of this terrible
situation.I look forward for your reply through the above email.
Best Regard,
JOAN KABILA
(ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER)
