ATTN: SIR
I did alot of searching,fasting and praying before choosing your contact from your Country's web site.It is with trust and sincerity that I approach you for assistance to transfer some fund into your accounts.
I am Mr. Williams Inongo Wemba. I worked as a Director of private security (state security service) to late President Laurent Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, who was assasinated on the 16th of January, 2001 by his close aides.
Late President Kabila , after months of guerilla warfare, came to power on May 17, 1997, successfully ousting the former President Mobutu Sese Seko, who had fled Kinshasha in the heat of the uprising on May 16, 1997. Late President Desire Kabila, a former rebel leader, fought a rebellion from dissafected Tutsis from Goma in the Eastern Congo DRC,backed by the Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi, till date.
The late President under my care had arranged arm purchase from the Republic of South Africa worth US$25M( twenty five million united states dollars). This money was brought into South Africa through diplomatic means and was deposited in a security company as the arms deal was being negotiated.
On hearing the news of the assasination of Mr. President, I decided to divert this money for my personal investment. I would heartly appreciate your assistance in transfering this money through your banking facilities within the shortest possible time. By this , you would be acting as the sole beneficiary of the fund, for a successful transfer into your nominated account overseas.
All modalities that wolud enable a smooth transfer, has been worked out with the various department concerned with international monetary transfers.Note therefore the confidentiality of this transaction.
For your assistance, I have resolved to offer you 20% of the total money transfered, 5% for expencess incurred during transaction,and 75% will be for my investments tn your Country.
Please,note that this transaction is 100% RISK-FREE,for I have made arrangements for a successful deal .As such,the only thing I ask from you is total assiseance to transfer this money,complete trust and assurance that my own part of the money will be safe when transfered into your account.I would also wish you kept this proposal highly confidential and secret considering my position and the source of the money.If you are interested in assisting me, please call or send me a fax or email as soon as possible for more clarifications.
Thanking you in advance for your anticipated co-operation.
Best regards,
Williams Inongo Wemba ( MR.)
