DEAR FRIEND,

I AM BENSON SEKO SON OF THE LATE MOBUTU SESE SEKO, THE
FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE ZAIRE. I AM PRESENTLY
UNDER PROTECTIVE CUSTODY IN NIGERIA AS A POLITICAL
REFUGEE. I GOT YOUR CONTACT DURING
MY SEARCH FOR A STRANGER THAT CAN COOPERATE WITH ME IN
THIS MUTUAL TRANSACTION. I WANT YOU TO NOTE THAT THIS
BUSINESS WILL
BENEFIT BOTH OF US. HOWEVER, YOU MUST CONFIRM YOUR
ABILITY TO HANDLE THIS BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A LARGE
AMOUNT OF MONEY. THE MONEY (47 MILLION US DOLLARS )

I ESCAPED  WITH MY PARENTS ALONG WITH MY BROTHER
BASHER  OUT OF DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF 
CONGO (DRC) TO ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE WHERE MY FAMILY 
AND I SETTLED, WHILE WE LATER MOVED  TO SETTLED IN 
MORROCO WHERE MY FATHER LATER DIED OF CANCER 
DISEASE.I DECIDED LAYING LOW IN AFRICA TO 
STUDY THE SITUATION TILL  WHEN THINGS GETS BETTER, 
LIKE NOW THAT PRESIDENT KABILA IS DEAD AND THE SON 
TAKING OVER (JOSEPH KABILA). ONE OF MY LATE FATHER'S 
CHATEAUX IN SOUTHERN FRANCE WAS CONFISCATED  BY THE 
FRENCH GOVERNMENT,  THIS LED TO THE DECISION TO TURN 
THE REMAINING FUNDS OVER TO A SAFE SECURITY COMPANY IN
EUROPE VIA THE DIPLOMATIC COURIER SERVICES FOR SAFE KEEPING
AS MOST OF MY FATHER'S BILLIONS OF DOLLARS 
DEPOSITED IN SWISS BANKS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
HAVE BEEN FROZEN BY THE GOVERNMENT OF 
(DR) MR LAURENT  KABILA HAVING CONCLUDED ARRANGEMENTS
WITH THE SWISS GOVERNMENT AND OTHER CONTRIES INVOLVED.
NOW THE CRISIS HAS ABATED I AM LOOKING FOR A 
PERSON LIKE YOU TO PROCEED TO THE PLACE OF THE
SECURITY COMPANY IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE FUND AND INVEST
ON MY BEHALF AS I DON’T WANT MY NAME TO BE USED FOR
NOW AS I REALISE VERY MUCH THE TYPE OF HATRED LATE 
KABILA THE FORMER HEAD OF STATE HAS FOR MY LATE FATHER
AND EVEN HIS SON WHO IS NOW THE HEAD OF STATE.
NOTE THAT I WILL SEND TO YOU THE RELEVANT DOCUMENTS
THAT WILL ENABLE YOU TAKE POSSESION OF THE  FUND
FOR ONWARD INVESTMENT FOR OUR MUTUAL BENEFIT. ALL I
NEED FROM YOU IS AS FOLLOWS:
1. A  COMMITTMENT THAT YOU
WILL KEEP THE TRANSACTION STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
2. YOUR CONFIRMATION OF YOUR ABILITY TO HANDLE THIS.
3. YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS INCLUDING
MOBILE FOR EASY COMMUNICATION.
4. YOUR FULL PERMANENT ADDRESS.
AS SOON AS I GET THE ABOVE INFORMATION FROM YOU, I
WILL DISCLOSE TO YOU THE NAME AND THE COUNTRY OF THE
SECURITY COMPANY SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS
TO TRAVEL AND COLLECT THE LUGGAGES.
I AM WAITING FOR YOUR RESPONSE VIA EMAIL:[email-masked]
TO ENABLE US PROCEED.
REGARDS.

BENSON SEKO
