Subject: PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME
Good day,
I hope this will not come as a surprise to you. But
it is because of the
nature of what is happening to me and my family
urged me to contact you. I
had already sent to you this same letter two weeks
ago, but I am not sure if
it did get to you since I have not heard from you.
I am Ms Faouzia laabidi, the daughter of the
former head of state
president of Congo-Kinshasha (former Zaire)
Mr.Laurent Desire laabidi. I got
your particulars through the South African Chamber
of Commerce; However, I
am contacting you in order to ask for your
assistance on this
confidential Business proposal with full financial
benefit for both of us.
Before I go into further details, please be informed
that I am writing
without any other person(s) pre-knowledge of my
contacting you on this
transaction. Therefore I will appreciate same
attitude to be maintained all
through. I have the sum of USD8.5 Million from a
secret Sale of Diamond by
my father before he was assassinated by one of his
body Guard (Rashid) on
January 16th 2001, which I will like you to receive
on my Behalf due to
security reasons, as my narration below will
explain. But before I continue
be well informed that your share in this transaction
has been calculated at
30% of the total sum of USD$8.5M, 5% for expenses
and the rest for my
Family and me.
My father as a real African traditionalist was a
polygamist thereby having
married so many wives, and my mother being the
second wife of my father, my
stepbrother Joseph, who is the current president of
my country, is the son
of the first wife and he does not have any knowledge
about this
deal.Already president Joseph is using his power to
sit on all the money and
private property, which my father left behind for
the whole family. Now my
mother and I are left with nothing in the
inheritance of my late father’s
wealth. Our situation is seriously critical that we
need your assistance to
help us receive these funds overseas for proper
investment.
Let me quickly assure you the 100% safe proof of
this transaction because
the diamond sales are packaged from the onset in a
pattern that shows no
direct trace or linkage with us (Kabila family). At
present the money is in
cash and is secured in a security firm as family
Treasures, as I don’t want
to deposit the money in a financial institution for
fear of the funds being
confiscated the consignment will be released within
seven (7) days of my
being in receipt of your replyVia my email address
above only for security
reasons.
I am waiting for your swift and favourable response,
Best Regards,
Ms Faouzia laabidi
