Greetings,
In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through a reliable source
and the choice of your country I wish to introduce myself, I am John Kabila
the son of the late Democratic Republic of Congo President Laurent Desire Kabila
of the blessed memory. ;I know this letter might come to you as a surprise but
I honestly do not intend to surprise you. ;I write this letter in respect of
my intention to invest the sum of US$45 000,000.00 with you. ;I inherited this
funds from my mother. ;This funds was got through the smuggling and sale of
Diamond and Timber when my father was the head of state. ;My mother though not
her legal wife used her privilege position to engage in the business of Diamond
and timber since she knows that her survival will depend on how much she can
get out of the privilege situation.
When my father was assassinated on 16th January 01 by one of his bodyguards
Lt. Rashidi Kasereke through the conspiracy of some top army officers that wanted
to topple him I escaped to South Africa because of the fear that I might be
arrested by my half brother Lt. General Joseph Kabila the present head of state.
;Actually his mother and my mother are not in the best of relationship because
of who among them will be the first lady tussle and this ultimately affected
us their children.
Considering the relationship between South Africa and the Democratic Republic
of Congo new government, my mother advised me to leave for South Africa for
security reason, while the funds were deposited with a security Company.
On getting to South Africa where I have been living since then as a political
refugee I am seeking for a reliable foreigner who can assist me in moving this
funds out for safe banking and profitable investment. ;Honestly I contacted
you because I don't want to invest this funds in South Africa due to my status
here as a political Refugee. ;And moreover I wouldn't want to take risk because
this funds is all that I and my mother is depending on because my half brother
has seized all my father's assets and funds and left I and my mother empty handed
without knowing about this funds deposited at the security company so that is
why I decided that investing this funds abroad should be the best investment
for me. ;I will be honoured if I can be given the privilege of investing this
fund with your help.
In view of this plight, I expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to respond
to this distress call to save my mother and I from a hopeless future. ; And
if you agree, I hereby agree to compensate your sincere and candid effort in
this regard with 30% of the total fund and annual 5% of the after tax returns
on investment for the first three years. ;Thereafter, the term shall be varied.
;5% for expenses, which may arise during the transaction, fax and phone bills
inclusive;When the fund ($45,000,000.00) is moved into your discrete account,
you will be allowed to draw 30% your favor, while the remaining 65% will be
invested meaningfully for our future if possible in your area of business and
deterrents sectors of the Economy in your country which are dividends yielding.
Whatever your decision is please reach me immediately through my Email:
(kabilajohn75@netscape.net)and keep this letter tight secret for the interest
of my family.
Best Regards.
John Kabila
