Dear Sir/Madam,


SEEKING YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.

Please Permit me to make your acquaintance in so informal a manner. This
is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a dependable and trust wordy
foreign partner. This request may seem strange and unsolicited but I will
crave your indulgence and pray that you view it seriously. My name is COL.
CYPRIAN AMALA of the Democratic Republic of Congo and One of the close
aides to the former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, LAURENT
KABILA of blessed memory, may his soul rest in peace.

During the military campaign of LAURENT KABILA to force out the rebels in
my country, I and some of my colleagues were commissioned by the Late
President Kabila to negotiate the supply of arms and ammunition from
abroad worth Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
only (US$20,500,000.00) to fight the rebel groups. We were then given this
money privately by the then President LAURENT KABILA, without the
knowledge of his Cabinet Members. This was mainly because some of us and
some Cabinet members never wanted more wars and most of the Cabinet
members were opposed to the fighting. But when President Kabila was killed
in a bloody shoot-out by one of his Body Guards a day before we were
schedule to travel out of Congo, we immediately decided to put the funds
into a private security company here in Congo for safe keeping. The
security of the said amount is presently being threatened here following
the arrest and seizure of properties of Col. Rasheidi Karesava (One of the
Body Guards to Laurent Kabila) a tribesman, and some other Military
Personnel from our same tribe, by the new President of the Democratic
Republic of Congo, the son of late President Laurent Kabila, Joseph Kabila.

In view of this, we need a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner who
can assist us to move this money out of my country as the beneficiary. WE
have sufficient ''CONTACTS'' here to move the fund under Diplomatic Cover
to a security company in Europe in your name. This is to ensure that the
Diplomatic Baggage is marked ''CONFIDENTIAL'' and it will not pass through
normal custom/airport screening and clearance.

Our inability to move this money out of Congo all this while lies on our
lack of trust on our supposed good friends (western countries) who
suddenly became hostile to those of us who worked with the late President
Kabila immediately after his son took office. Though we have neither seen
nor met each other, the information We gathered from an associate who has
worked in your country has encouraged and convinced us of your country and
hence with your sincere assistance, this transaction will be properly
handled with modesty and honesty to a huge success within two weeks.

We would please need you to stand on our behalf as the beneficiary of this
fund in Europe. This is because we are under restricted movement and watch
and hence we want to be very carefull in other not to lose this fund which
we have worked so hard for. Thus, if you are willing to assist us move
this fund out of Congo, you can contact me through my email address,
Tel/Fax nos. above with your telephone, fax number and personal
information to enable us discuss the modalities and what will be your
share (percentage) for assisting us.

Please note that There are no RISKS involved in this Deal as every ones
Security is Gurranteed as far as we follow the required guidlines. I will
hence furnish you with further details of this Deal as soon as I am
assured of your Sincere interest to assist us. We wish to inform you that
this deal is based on Mutual Trust as we cannot conclude this deal on our
own without trusting someone. Also, friends are discovered and friends are
made and we hope to build a lasting friendship of trust from this deal.

I must use this opportunity and medium to implore you to exercise the
utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential, What
ever your decision, while I await your prompt response. Thank you and God
Bless.
Best Regards


COL. CYPRIAN AMALA (RTD). [email protected]
