Subject: GOOD DAY
MRS. JUDITH WAMBOLO
712 AVE DU JEAN, KINSHASA.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. {DRC}
Good Day,
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 a help. I am Mrs. Judith Wambolo, the wife of Late Brigadier B.C. Wambolo, the public relation officer to the late Laurent Kabila former president of the Democratic Republic of Congo who was assassinated on Tuesday, the 16th of January 2001 by one of his bodyguards.
Your firm was introduced to me by career diplomatic whom I consulted in my search for a reliable individual company who can assist my son Gabriel Wambolo in transferring a reasonable sum of money US$30,000,000.00 (THIRTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) into your companies private account for safe keeping. Originally, this money (USD$30M) was mapped out for purchasing of military weapons from Russia on the 19th January 2001 in the capital city of Kinshasa and my husband was solely in charge of the department.
Unfortunately the news of the assassination of the president broke on the 16th and my husband used the opportunity to divert the fund for our family future planning and therefore cleverly moved into South Africa and deposited the consignment containing the fund in private security company in South Africa.
He came from South Africa 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 my husband died in detention on the 5th April 2001. No one knows about this money except my family also it was not declared missing or stolen up to date.
Tentatively, we have agreed to offer you 25% of the total amount for your assistance, 5% has been mapped out to offset expenses that may be incurred by both parties in the course of this transaction and 70% will be kept for our family investment in your country. I wish to assure you that this transaction is risk free and machinery necessary for the speedy conclusion has been successfully arranged through a family retired bank director formally with South African Reserve Bank he will use his experience and contact to remit the funds to your account. Note: the remittance of these funds to your account will not breach your country monetary regulation both in RSA.
You will understand that the continuous existence of this family depends on this fund; this is why I have taken this responsibility of making this initial contact for my son Gabriel Wambolo. Therefore, on acceptance of this proposal, you are advised to contact Gabriel who is in South Africa on telephone + 27-833 139635 or via email: {matt-hzz@executivemail.co.za} he will explain to you more details on this transaction and also please do furnish him with your private telephone and fax numbers for easier and effective communication.
Thanks and God bless.
Mrs. Judith Wambolo
