Subject: Mrs.Abiala Mobutu (widowed).
Good day dear,
Please, pardon me for I know that this proposal will come to you as a
surprise because you did not expect it from some one whom you have not
seen or met before, but kindly rest assured for I meant well and made
it with all sincererity because I have the urge that you will assist
me in all ramifications and also require you to treat it with top most
secret and confidentiality.
I am Mrs.Abiala Mobutu Sese Seko , the wife of Late Mobutu Sese Seko,
the former President of Democratic Republic of Congo. My husband was
dethroned by Laurent Kabila, who forced him to go on exile and take
refuge in Morocco with his entire family. Following the sudden death
of my late husband, Mobutu Sese Seko, and the circumstances sorounding
his death in Morocco in 1997, due to insecurity I decided to take my
leave to hide in one of the West African country with my children.
After much deliberation with My Son (Alfonso Mobutu) and our family
lawyer concerning my late husband's only remaining fund, ($35,000000.00
USD) only which I saved in a Finance & Security Company, which I will
give you their contacts as soon as I open up confidential
communications
with you.He advised me to look for a foreign partner who will be
trusted
and willing to receive this fund, US$35,000000.00 in his/her account
for
investment purposes in his country under his close supervision.
And I decided to contact you after looking through your profile in the
web. And since Alfonso Mobutu is the first son of my late husband, he
will be handling with you all matters in regard to this transaction.
Please reply me immediately so that we can be able to arrange with you
confidently on how the claim of the fund will be made by you. And due
to insecurity and political instability in Africa at large, I am
seriously considering to settle down abroad in a friendly atmosphere
like yours as soon as this fund is claimed by you on my behalf and save
under your care with the investment under your humble supervision so
that
I can start all over again if only you wish.
And for your acceptance to assist me claim this fund and save in your
account as well as assisting me to invest it in your country under your
care and control, your reward is 20% of the sum.
PLEASE, NOTE, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS POINT CLEAR NOW AND EARLIER
ENOUGH, SO THAT IF IT PLEASES YOU, WE CAN PROCEED TO WORK TOGETHER BUT
IF IT DOES NOT I CAN LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE HONEST
AND BLONT HERE FOR THAT THIS TRANSACTION, YOUR CLAIMING THE FUND FROM
THE
CONCERNED FINANCE & SECURITY COMPANY ON MY BEHALF, WILL NEED SOME
LITTLE FINANCIAL EXPENCES WHICH YOU AND I WILL TAKE CARE OF TO ENSURE
YOUR SUCCESSFUL CLAIMING OF THE FUND WITHOUT A HITCH. MY REASON, OF
MAKING
THIS OPEN TO YOU NOW, IS THAT I LIKE TO BE HONEST TO YOU AND I KNOW YOU
TOO WOULD LIKE TO BE HONEST TO ME TOO. SO THAT NOT WHEN THIS EXPENCES
COME
UP AT THE MIDLE OR AT THE FINAL END OF THE TRASACTION YOU MAY BE
THINKING OTHERWISE, AFTER ALL, WHY DID I NOT TELL YOU AT THE BEGINING
THAT
THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR YOU TO ASSIST FINANCIALY OR THAT YOU WILL
SPEND
MONEY IN THIS TRANSACTION.
BUT ONE GOOD NEWS I HAVE FOR YOU IS THAT, ANY MONEY YOU SPEND IN THE
CAUSE OF CLAIMING THIS FUND IS NOT FOR FREE, YOU WILL IMMDIATELY TAKE
IT BACK FROM THE $35,000 000.00 AS SOON AS THE FUND IS IN YOUR
POSSESION BEFORE ANY FURTHER SHARING OR INVESTMENT WILL TAKE PLACE,
YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION FOR THIS AS IT WILL BE CONTAINING IN OUR
PARTNERSHIP
AGREEMENT.

TRANSACTION I WOULD WANT YOU TO SEND TO ME IMMEDIATELY;
