Dear friend,
RE save our soul
I am Mrs. Deborah Kabila, one of the wives of Late President Laurent D.
Kabila of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Consequent upon the assassination
of my husband, I am in possession of USD 20,000,000 (twenty Million US Dollars
Only) being funds earlier earmarked for special projects. This fund has
since been deposited in a security company in West African Country of Togo
where I am residing now with my children. It is now my intention to move
the said fund out of this place (Togo) to a safer place for the benefit
of my children and I, for immediate investment. Based on this that I solicited
for your assistance to enable me take this money out of Togo. However, note
that my children and I have agreed to give you 20% of the total fund if
you can accept the offer of assisting us. Also it will be your responsibility
in directing us on a viable business. It is also my intention to relocate
and probably take a temporarily resident in your country pending when all
the troubles in my country will be resolved. We advised that you look for
a house we will buy as soon as we arrived. To conclude this transaction,
you will be required to come to Togo to open an account in any bank here
in Togo where the security company will deposit the total sum in your favor.
From this bank the money will be remitted into your original bank in your
country. Immediately this done, all of us will depart Togo to your country,
where my children and I are expected to take a temporary resident. Please
note that I can not open any Bank account with my name because, My late
husband's first son-JOSEPH-who took over power in our country, don't want
to see me and my children, He claimed that when our husband was alive, that
I was very close to him than any other of his wives including his (Joseph)
mother. He also claimed that because of my closeness to him that I was able
to get things from him more than others. As a result he has been monitoring
me. Infact this one of the main reasons I want to take my children out of
our country and any nearby country.
Thanking you in advance. Yours faithfully,
Deborah Kabila (Mrs.)
N/B: Kindly give me your direct telephone,fax and your mobile telephone
numbers for more explanations.
