FAMILY BUSINESS INVESTMENT OFFER
Dear Friend,
In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through a reliable source
and the choice of your country I wish to introduce myself, I am Kenedy 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$28M(Twenty Eight Million
United State Dollars) with you. I inherited this money from my mother.
This money 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 Jan. 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
in Abroad. On getting to South Africa where I have been living since then
as apolitical refugee I am seeking for a reliable foreigner who can assist
me in moving this money out for safe banking and profitable investment.
Honestly I contacted you because I don't want to invest this money in
South Africa due to my status here as a political Refugee. And moreover
I wouldn't
want to take risk because this money is all that I and my Mother is depending
on because My half brother has seized all my father's assets and money and
left I and my mother empty handed without knowing about this funds deposited
at the Security Company in Abroad so that is why I decided that investing
this money abroad should be the best investment for me. I will be honored
if I can be given the privilege of investing this money 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 20% of the total money 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.$28million US Dollars. when the money
($28million) is moved into your discrete account, you will be allowed to
draw 20%
your favor, while the remaining 70% 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 and keep this letter tight
secret for the interest of my family.
Best Regards,
KENEDY KABILA(FOR THE FAMILY)
