From: "richard kabila" <net_kabila023@hotmail.com>
Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 14:23:44 +0000
Subject: From Mrs. Sasi Kabila
Dear Sir / Madam
I know you will be surprise to receive this letter from me. I am Mrs. Sasi
Kabila, from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC); one of the three wives
of Late President Laurent Kabila of DRC (Formerly known Zaire)
I got your contact through my search for a reliable individual and/or
company to help my family to transfer a reasonable amount of money overseas
for investment.
I, and my son Mr. Richard Kabila decided to request for your assistance to
transfer the sum of US$18 Million (Eighteen Million United States Dollars)
to your personal/company account
This money was part of the money secured by my Late Husband Laurent Kabila
when he was the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo. He relied on
me as the head wife, and drew my attention to the money in case of
unforeseen circumstances.
This fear was realized on 16th January 2001, when his bodyguard assassinated
him. My late husband deposited the money with a private security company in
Johannesburg, South Africa. He had also left with all the documents for the
safe deposit.
We are thus seeking confidential assistance from you (as the beneficiary) to
transfer this fund to your account overseas for investment purposes as the
current government is still keeping eye on me to cease or repatriate any
valuables traced or deemed to belong to my late husband
We have agreed to give you 25% of total amount for your assistance and 5%
for expenses incurred by both parties during this transaction, while the
remaining 70% will be for our family investment for which we will need your
assistance in your country
Kindly notify my son on your acceptance, for further details of this
proposal via my e-mail and or tel/fax number and provide me with your name,
telephone and fax numbers, your address and more detail will be provided to
you immediately.
Yours sincerely
Mrs. Sasi Kabila
