Dear Friend,

that we have not met before. May the Almighty God bless you as you read this
email.I am trully looking for someone that will assist me with a business
that has to do with my family estate which my late father left behind for
us.i am contacting you based on the fact that i want someone that is not
known to my family to assist me in this business and this is for security
reasons which i will explain to you as we make progress.This is very
urgent,call now, I am the first son of the late Joseph Desire Mobutu, the
former President of "ZAIRE" now democratic republic of congo . I am
presently on political asylum in Port-Louis, Mauritius.
I got your contact over the internet during my search for a person that will
assist me in this business.this became neccessary as i do not want anybody
known to me or my family to be associated with this money. I want you to
note that this business will benefit both of us and that it is 100% risk
free. However, you must confirm your ability to handle this because it
involves a large amount of money.
The funds (Fourteen Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars) ($14.6million) is
my share of my father's estate. I boxed and shipped the money to a security
company abroad at the peak of the a political uprising that rocked my
country few years ago. Now that the crisis has ended , I need a trustworthy
person to proceed to the place of the security company in order to claim the
fund and afterwards,i will come to your country for us to start a joint
business venture as i do not have the intention of bringing the funds back
to Africa for a very long time.Note that I will send to you the relevant
documents that will enable you take possession of the fund for onward
investment for our mutual benefit.
All I need from you is as follows:
1. Your confirmation of your ability to handle this business for me.
2.your word that you will keep this business as
confidential as possible at all times until we conclude this business.
3. Your telephone and fax numbers for communication.
4. Your full permanent address.
As soon as I get the above information from you, I will disclose to you the
name and the country of the security company, the contact of the diplomat
that i have hired to assist us in this business,as well as your name and
particulars to the security company as my representative and my partner to
enable them contact you accordingly. As we make progress,i will send to you
a"LETTER OF AUTHORITY" to enable you claim the fund on my behalf.
Note that this is a very safe transaction as this funds is my share of my
father's estate.I await your response to enable us proceed.
