Subject: DEAR FRIEND
MR DAVID MLAMBO
JOHANNESBURG-SOUTH AFRICA
TEL: 27-83-955-7133
Dear Sir/Madam,
This letter may come to you as a surprise, but be assured that it is in good
faith from a family in dare need of help. I am Mr David Mlambo,a financial
consultant here in South-Africa,I was contacted by Mrs. Magret Williams
Mushave, the wife of late Brigadier B. C. Williams Mushave,the public
relation officer to the late Laurent Kabila formerpresident of the
Democratic Republic of Congo who was assassinated on Tuesday, the 16th of
January 2001 by one of his bodyguards who
also comes from the same community with him.
Your firm was introduced to me by career diplomat whom I consulted in my
search for a reliable
individual /company who can assist my client Magret Williams Mushave
family,who are presently residing here in South-Africa,as asylum seekers in
transferring a reasonable sum of money US$ 22. 5 million (Twenty Two Million
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) into your company's private
account for safekeeping and investment.
Originally this money (US$ 22. 5 million) was mapped out for military
seminar scheduled to be held on the 19th January 2001 in the capital city of
Kinshasa, and Mr Williams was solely in charge of organizing the seminar.
Unfortunately the news of the assassination of the president broke on the
16th and his husband used the opportunity to divert the fund for his family
future planning
and therefore cleverly moved into South Africa and deposited the consignment
containing the fund in private Security & Finance Company in South Africa.
He went back to his country after depositing the money and was arrested
along with other top officials of the government by Major General Joseph
Kabila, the son of the late president who is now the new president, with the
intention to rope them in, unfortunately Mr Williams died in detention
on the 15th April 2001.They want me to help them handle the project inasmuch
i will help them perfect the transfer of the fund from the security company.
This sum of money is the only hope of the family to stay alive. I have
therefore agreed to compensate your good self with 25% of the total deposit
when you finally claim the deposit box
from the security firm and lodged in your account. They have equally
guaranteed 100% risk-free and smooth transfer. If you are interested in
assisting me, Please kindly contact me via my e-mail address or you could
reach me on my private telephone number +27-83-955-7133 For obvious
security reasons, it is imperative that you keep all our communication very
secret. Do not mention the family's name or disclose the transaction to
anybody.
If you are not interested in assisting me, still get in touch so that I can
make alternative arrangement as time is of the essence.And also please do
furnish me with your private telephone and fax numbers for easier and
effective communication.
I wish to assure you that this transaction is risk free and all the
machineries necessary for the speedy conclusion has been successfully
arranged.
Thanks and God bless.
David Mlambo
