Subject: PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear Friend,
It is with heart full of hope that I write to seek your candid help.I am.
Mrs. Doreen Kabila. a woman of 42 years old resident in Democratic Republic
of Congo over 25 years ago. I am the 6th wife of the Late Congo President,
lerent Kabila who was assassinated few years ago.
You may be surprise to receive my letter, however, I got your contact from
my private search on the internet and decided to contact you for
confidential business. Since the death of my husband, president Lerent
Kabila, there has been incessant hostilities spanning in the family over his
'will. My only son Magnus Kabila. and I have been marginalized by other
wives and his first son Joseph Kabila who succeeded him as the new president
of Democratic Republic of Congo. Perhaps because of my closeness with my
late husband as his last and youngest wife or because I am a foreigner.
However, before the death of my husband, Lerent Kabila he posited the sum of
$40.300,000.00 (Forty Million Three Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars)in my name in a bank abroad. whose name is witheld for now until we
open communication. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into
your account for safe keeping. I promise to give you 20% at the end of the
transaction. Observe carefully no risk inherent, so, I urge you not to
underestimate this vision. My only son Magnus and I shall come over
immediately the finacial institution the money to your account to meet with
you in your country.
As soon as I receive your consent, relevant documents will be prepared in
your favour authenticating you as the beneficiary of the funds
I look forward for your quick response, to my alternative email;
mrsdoreen1@yahoo.it
for more detail information.
Best regards,
Mrs .Doreen Kabila.
