Sussan Kabila
Johannesburg
South Africa
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
I am a forty five year old widow(the third wife)of
the late PRESIDENT LAURENT KABILA of the Democratic
Republic of Congo. My husband was the former
president
of DRC who was assasinated by one of his bodyguards on
16th January 2001.

At the mid-term of the rebellion in my country, my son
and i went out of Congo according to my husband'S
instruction before his death because the fate of our
country was yet to be decided. We came with a sealed
diplomatic baggage to South Africa.

On our arrival to South Africa we sought for political
asylum. We were not allowed to operate a bank
transaction/account and i was scared; and as a result
of this i decided to deposit this money in a security
company. Because i wanted to be on a safer side, i
told them that the baggage belongs to my foreign
affiliate who is the beneficiary of the item.

Since then, i have been looking for a reliable and
trustworthy person to help me transfer this money into
a foreign account overseas prior to investment in any
conductive country overseas. I got in contact with
someone from Australia but he became unnecessarily
greedy concerning his share of the transaction. He
asked for 35%, luckily i ran into your e-mail address
and decided to contact you to see if you could be of
any help to us.

We intend to share this money(US$27.5 MILLION)American
Dollars as follows:
1. 20%of the total sum to you if you assist me in
transferring this money into your overseas accounts.
2. 10% of the total sum will be set aside to offset
all the bills and expenses incurred in the process of
this transaction.
3. 70% of the total sum will be for the family
investment in any country of which you will be guide
to us.

PLease should this matter meet your utmost
consideration, please contact my son (Mr.Michel
Kabila) through this phone 27-83 749 2831 and feel
free to
ask any question where you consider necessary.

The confidentiality of this transaction cannot be
overemphasized as we trust and believe that you will
oblige us the needed security and attention it
demands. Please treat this transaction with utmost
confidentiality.

Yours Faithfully,
Kabila Sussan

 

Scam.

We also got that through email.

We also have 4 fax numbers at work and every one of them got a copy.

As well as I've also heard others get it.

It's intended for people to try as it's very difficult not too with so much money "involved".

 

It's not wierd...

It's a ho-hum, seen-it-a-million-times, you-gotta-be-dumber-than-a-rock scam.

See http://www.scamorama.com/isakaita.html for example

 

I recieved one of those emails about a year ago , although worded different it was really the same crap
