Dear sir,
Compliments of the day. I am Capt. John Mulenga of the Armed Forces of Democratic Republic of Congo. You might be tempted to find the contents of this message unexpected as I have had no previous contacts with you but I implore you to look at my proposal objectively devoid of unfounded bias and fears. I want you to look at the message and what you stand to gain from it if you decide to co-operate with me and not the messenger.
PROPOSAL: As already informed, I am a Congolese by birth and 35 years of age. By virtue of my profession, I was opportune to have worked as a trusted Presidential guard to the slain former President of Democratic Republic of Congo, President Laurent Kabilla. As a matter of fact, I was one of his most trusted Lieutenants and confidants. During my long period of stewardship to President Kabilla, I came to contact with several European, American, Asian, and African Politicians/Businessmen who always came to Lumumbashi to seek for one favor or the other.
My Boss always extended hands of friendship and assistance to these people with the hope that someday they will reciprocate his kind gestures.
On one of such visits by these Foreigners which forms the basis of my writing you, my Boss was handed some money in cash totaling about US$20(Twenty million United States Dollars) by a particular businessman. I was the only guard present during the meeting/handling of this money, which was neatly parked in trunks of metal boxes. During the conversation which ensued, I found out that the funds was a mark of gratification by this man to my Boss for having allowed his company access into the hinterland to mine precious stones. He specifically requested my Boss to use the money to fund and! equip his Army to curtail Rebel incursions into the Country. However, my Boss because of mounting pressure from the International Community coupled with Rebel activities at home front, decided to hand over these boxes to me for safe keeping pending the time he will require me to hand it over to him. This I did because as his trusted bodyguard, I never thought he would be killed the way he was by my colleague unprepared. May God grant his soul eternal rest.
Following his sudden death, I discovered that I had to leave the Country because my life was under threat by his son Joseph, whom I have incontrovertible evidence to proof that he had a hand in the palace coup that eliminated his father. Based on security report, I decided to safeguard these boxes by using a security channel to ship them out to a Country and to a Company involved in safekeeping of such items as precious stones, artifacts, money etc. For security reasons, I will not reveal the Country where I sent these boxes to until I have discussed with you on how you can assist me to secure these boxes and what you will gain for rendering your assistance.
In the light of the foregoing, I want you to answer me immediately on receipt of this message if you can offer me any assistance to properly secure this money. Please make sure you send your response to johnmulenga20@ananzi.co.za, in order to ensure confedentiality. Thanks for your understanding and I look forward to hearing from you soonest.
Best Wishes, Captain John Mulenga.
Maybe we could place his e-mail address (johnmul10@sky.co.za) on a couple dozen SPAM lists, just to keep him company.
