Subject: URGENT RESPONDS NEEDED.FROM: DR (MRS) mary_kabila
FROM: DR (MRS) mary_kabila
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
E-MAIL ADDRESS:mary_kabila123@hotmail.com
ATTEN: DIRECTOR,
I am Dr(Mrs) MARY Kabila , the second wife of the last Democratic
Republic
of Congo President Laurent D.Kabila, who was assassinated by his
bodyguard
while still on power. I am contacting you in view of
the fact that we will be of great assistance to each other, likewise
developing a cordial business relationship.
I currently have within my reach the sum of Thirty Six Million Five
Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars(US$36,500,000)cash, which I intend to use
for
investment purposes specifically in your country. This
money came as a result of a pay back contract deal between my late
husband
and his Russian partner who returned my husband’s share to our security
company in Zaire of which I am the Director. Right now, the new
government led by my late husband’s first son Joseph Kabila has
intensified
their probe on my financial resources, and they revoked our licenses
that
allow us to own a financial and oil company. Even one of my sons was
arrested and still in detention under the new government.In
view of these, I acted very fast to withdraw the US$36.5 Million from
the
company’s of a diplomatic that served under my husband’s government.
I have since declared the Security Company’s bankruptcy. No record ever
existed concerning the money neither is the money traceable by the
government.There is no documentation showing that we received the money
from
the Russians. This money is now being lodged with a Security Company in
Johannesburg,South Africa, where my son is residing
temporarily for the business.
Due to the current situation in the country concerning government attitude
towards my family, and bilateral relationship with the South Africa
government,it has become quite impossible for me to make use of this money
within, thus I seek your assistance to transfer this money out of this
country immediately. On your consent, I shall expect you to contact my son
son KOFI KABILA urgently to enable us discuss in details about this
transaction.He can be reached through immidiate reply.
Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund.I
propose a commission of 20% of the total sum to you for the expected
services and assistance and 10% for deffery expenses incurred during the
transition while rema 70% will remain for me .Your urgent response is
highly needed so as to stop further contact.
All your correspondence must be through my son because all our phones are
under surveillance.I must use this opportunity to implore you to exercise
that utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential
whatever your decision, while we await your prompt response.
Best regards
DR (MRS) MARY. KABILA.
