Dear sir

It is with a heart full of hope that I write to seek your
help in the content below. I am Mr peter Kabila, the second
son of the late Laurent Kabila Former President of the
Democratic Republic of Congo (D.R.C) who was assasinated in
January 13th 1999 I got your particulars from my fathers

library, I have no doubt to your capacity and capability to
assist me in receiving into your custody (for safety)the
sum of S$22million willed and deposited in the favour of
myself and my mother who is the second wife of the late
president. This money is currently kept in a trust deposit
vault with a Financeand Security company in Europe.
However, the new Government headed by my step brother
Joseph has on assumption of office setup an inquiry to
recover all the assets belonging to my late Father
ncluding cash and

roperties with the pretence of safe-keeping, but with
actual intention of personal inheritance. All this because
we are from a polygamous family. The investigation team has
submitted their report, and presently some cash and assets
have been seized. Fortunately, I managed to escape from the
country with the help of our lawyer.I am presently living
in Uganda under an assumed name, until I succeed in the
transaction and due to the situation of things our
lawyer has strictly advised that this money be urgently
moved into an over-seas account of a trusted friend without


delay for fear of the money being traced and seized. I know
you will be trustworthy and kind enough to respond to this
call (SOS) to save my entire family and me from a hopeless
future. I hereby agree to compensate your efforts with a
percentage of the money which will be agreeable to both of
us, when you receive the money. The lawyer has perfected
arrangements with the security company to move this money
within a short time of the receipt of your response.
The security company has equally guaranteed a smooth
transfer. May God bless you. You can reach me on the above
e-mail.

Best Wishes,

Mr peter Kabila
