From: Hassan Tsala.
Dear Friend,
My greetings to you and your family and i hope this letter meets you in good
health. I am Hassan Tsala, aide to the late president Mobutu sese-seko of
Zaire now known as Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). I am writing to you
in good faith based on your profile i received from the chamber of commerce
in South Africa.
I am moved to write you this letter in confidence
considering my prsent circumstance and situation as a war refugee here in
south africa. Few weeks before the late President Mobutu sese-seko was
forced out of power, i was instructed by him to make available the sum of
US$22million which was to be transferred abroad and lodged with a security
company for safekeeping disclosed as family valuables in my name pending
further instructions. Two weeks later on may 16 1997, president mobutu
sese-seko gave up power to the rebels led by Laurent Kabila, who were
advancing from Kisingani and fled to Togo from where he later moved to
morocco where he died on september 7, 1997 less than four months after he
was forced out of power. He was aged 66 years. I managed to escape to South
Africa with my son Patrice, aged 17 where i am presently residing as a war
refugee shortly after the capital city Kinshasha was over run over by
rebels. i lost my wife and my two children, and all my possessions during
the rebel onslaught on the capital city.
The late Mobutu sese-seko during his 30 year rule amassed a personal fortune
of US$8billion with houses in Switzerland and France. However, the incumbent
president Laurent Kabila made arrangements with the Swiss government and
other European countries to freeze all his assets and confiscate his
properties. I thus decided to lie low in Africa to study the situation,
until when things get better like now that president Laurent Kabila is dead
and his son joseph Kabila has taken over.
I have been in touch with the security company abroad where the money is
still lodged as family valuables. The funds are security coded to prevent
them from knowing the content. What i want you to do is to indicate your
interest that you will assist me by receiving the money on my behalf.
Acknowledge this message so that i can give you the modalities for the claim
of the funds. May i at this point emphasize the high level of
confidentiality which this business demands, and hope you will not betray
the trust and confidence whch i have reposed in you.
If you want to assist, i shall put you in the picture of the business, tell
you where the funds are currently being maintained and also discuss other
modalities including remuneration for your services. I am willing to give
you a reasonable percentage of the money as soon as the transaction is
concluded.
For this reason, kindly furnish me your contact
information, which is your personal telephone and fax
numbers for confidential purpose and acknowledge receipt of this mail using
my confidential box:xxxxxx@thepostmaster.net
yours sincerely,
Hassan Tsala.
