Subject: HELLO/ASSISTANCE
DEAR SIR/MADAM,
I am Mohammed Sese-Seko, son of the late President Mobutu Sese Seko of Congo Democratic Republic former Republic of Zaire (East Africa) presently there is a war going on in my country and so my family members escaped to Morocco while I am presently in Benin Republic Border (West Africa) monitoring events.
Because of the present crises, my environment is not conducive for investment and more over, most
of my fathers properties and account have been frozen by the government of Kabila.
Now, I want to set up a business overseas and I have about 12.5 Million United State dollars set aside for this project, I decided to contact you to help
me in setting up a business, but would not want my name or family name to be used. I am prepared to give you 25% of the total sum if you can assist
me in claiming this fund from a security vault in overseas where my father (Mobutu Sese Seko) deposited this fund before he died.
Please, do contact me immediately for us to discuss.
As soon as I hear from you, and confirm your assistance every documents regarding to the claiming of this fund will be handed over to you as the family's foreign partner.
Please you can contact me on my email:mohammedseseseko001@yahoo.com
Best regards
MOHAMMED SESE-SEKO.
