the transfer of my trunk box containing $45,000,000.00 US which was
deposited in a private security company by my late father ( Late President
Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire) with a private security company here in
Accra-Ghana.What I need is a reliable God fearing person like you that will
receive theconsignment on my behalf until my arrival to join you in your
country.Before the death of my late father he instructed me and my mother to
invest.
this funds abroad,because after the rebels forced my late fatheronexile
where he met his death we came to Ghana and took refuge under the UNHCR and
with our refugee status we are not authorized to have that huge amount of
money hence we need your assistance.Do state what percentage you wish to
receive for your assistance in this matter.Note that all legal documents
clearing the funds as clean and legitimate have .
been obtained but I am soliciting your help because due to our present
refugee status we cannot independently put claim.
.Truly Yours,
Kingsley Mobutu
