DEAR FRIEND,

MY GREETINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND I HOPE THIS LETTER MEETS YOU IN GOOD 
HEALTH. I AM UMBEKALOMA LOPEZ,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 PRESENT 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 OFPOWER. 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 ON SLAUGHT ON THE 
CAPITAL CITY. THE LATE MOBUTU SESE-SEKO DURING HIS 30 YEAR RULE AMASSED A 
PERSONAL FORTUNE OF US$8 BILLION 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 ANDCONFISCATE HIS PROPERTIES.

I THUS DECIDED TO LIE LOW IN SOUTH AFRICA TO STUDY THE SITUATION, UNTIL WHEN 
THINGS GET BETTER LIKE NOW THAT PRESIDENT LAURENT KABILA IS DEAD AND HIS SON 
JOSEPH KABILA HAS TAKENOVER. 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.
