Subject: From Mrs Rose Kabila.
>From Mrs Rose Kabila.
My special greetings to you. How are you and your activities today? I hope fine and in good condition of health. Please, I want you to read this massage very carefully and respond to me. My name is Mrs. Rose Kabila from the Democratic Republic of Congo. My husband was the late President of the Republic of Congo before he was killed by the present president. There is an information I would like you to keep very confidential between us alone. My late husband, President LAURENT KABILA deposited the total sum of US$4, 500,000.00 (Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) in one of the leading bank here in Cote D’ivoire for safekeeping before his untimely death. As a result of some family mis-understanding and political crisis, his eldest military son (MR. JOSEPH KABILA) killed him and became the current president of Congo. The incident happened immediately we returned back from our London trip on Holiday. My husband married us two and I am the second wife.
I will not be able to give you the full details that led to that urgly incident. The first son to my husband is the current president of our country now. For now I am staying in Abidjan, which is the capital city of the Republic of COTE D IVOIRE, just to save my life with my two children. The money in question is US$4.5 million U.S dollars, my late husband gave me all the deposit certificate and Statement of Account before his death because he used my name as the next of kin. I can not make the withdrawal of this fund because my husband registered the beneficiary of the fund as his foreign business partner. Secondly, I can not make the transfer alone because I am currently staying at the refugee camp as a refugee. All the documents of the deposit are with me. What I want you to do is to assist me to get the fund transferred from the bank in Abidjan to your own account in your country.
All you have to do is to stand as my foreign partner and a family friend, and I will sign an authorization for them to transfer the fund to your account. I am willing to give you 20% of the total money for your assistance. There is no risk in this transaction because I have been to the bank and I was assured that the fund will be transferred as soon as all the transfer papers are signed. I will use the remaining balance of the money for an investment in your country for the future of my children. I will also need your help to invest the fund in a good moving business in your country. If you are interested and can maintain the confidentiality of this transaction, please email me immediately for more clarification and information. Also note that I am staying in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire as a refugee because of the assassination of my late husband and the civil war going on in our country (Democratic Republic of Congo). I left my country after the death of my husband for the
sake of my life and my two children. I can speak English and my son also speaks English very well. The name of my son is Mark and he is 14 years while my daughter’s name is Rita. She is 10 years old.
Please let me hear from you as soon as possible so that I will give you more information. I will also send you my phone number in my next email.
Thanks and God bless.
Yours Sincerly
Mrs. Rose Kabila
