Dear Partner, I am the son of the late president of Democratic Republic of Zaire, President Mobutu Sese Seko, (now The Republic of Congo, under the leadership of the son of Mr. Laurent Kabila). I presume you are aware there is a financial dispute between my family (THE MOBUTU) and the present civilian Government. This is based on what they believe as bad and corrupt governance on my late father's part. May his soul rest in perfect peace. As you might have heard how a lot of my father's bank account in Switzerland and North America has been frozen. Following the above named reasons, I am soliciting for your humble and confidential assistance to take custody of twenty Million United States Dollars (US$20,000,000.00), also to front for me in the areas of business you desire profitable. These funds have secretly been deposited into a confidential Security firm where it can easily be withdrawn or paid to a recommended beneficiary. The funds will be released to you by the Security firm based on my recommendations on that note; you will be presented as my partner who will be fronting for me and my family in any subsequent ventures. Myself and my mother have decided to give 18% to you if you are able to help us claim this consignment. We have also decided to give you any money spent on phone calls or travelling expenses in the course of this transaction at the end of the transaction.
