Email Scam Making It's Rounds Again

I AM MRS. MARIAM MOBUTU SESE-SEKO, WIDOW OF LATE PRESIDENT MOBUTU SESE-SEKO OF ZAIRE NOW KNOWN AS DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC). I AM MOVED TO WRITE YOU THIS LETTER, IN STRICT CONFIDENCE CONSIDERING MY PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE AND SITUATION.

I ESCAPED ALONG WITH MY HUSBAND AND TWO OF OUR SONS JOHNSON AND MICHAEL OUT OF DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC) TO ABIDJAN-COTE DIVOIRE, WHERE MY FAMILY AND I SETTLED. WHILE WE LATER MOVED TO SETTLE IN MORROCO WHERE MY HUSBAND LATER DIED OF CANCER DISEASE. HOWEVER DUE TO THIS SITUATION WE DECIDED TO CHANGE MOST OF MY HUSBAND'S BILLIONS OF DOLLARS DEPOSITED IN SWISS BANK AND OTHER COUNTRIES INTO OTHER FORMS OF MONEY CODED FOR SAFE PURPOSE BECAUSE THE NEW HEAD OF STATE OF DRC, MR. LAURENT KABILA, HAS MADE ARRANGEMENT WITH THE SWISS GOVERNMENT AND OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES TO FREEZE ALL MY LATE HUSBAND'S TREASURES DEPOSITED IN SOME EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.

HENCE MY CHILDREN AND I DECIDED LAYING LOW IN AFRICA TO STUDY THE SITUATION TILL WHEN THINGS GET BETTER. LIKE NOW THAT PRESIDENT KABILA IS DEAD AND THE SON (JOSEPH KABILA) TAKING OVER, ONE OF MY LATE HUSBAND'S CHATEAUX IN SOUTHERN FRANCE WAS CONFISCATED BY THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT, AND AS SUCH I HAD TO CHANGE MY IDENTITY SO THAT MY INVESTMENT WILL NOT BE TRACED AND CONFISCATED. I HAVE DEPOSITED THE SUM OF TWENTY-FIVE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS (US$25,000,000,00) WITH A SECURITY COMPANY, FOR SAFEKEEPING.

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 US BY RECEIVING THE MONEY ON OUR BEHALF. ACKNOWLEDGE THIS MESSAGE, SO THAT I CAN INTRODUCE YOU TO ONE OF MY SONS WHO HAS MAPPED OUT THE MODALITIES FOR THE CLAIM OF THE SAID FUNDS. I WANT YOU TO ASSIST IN INVESTING THIS MONEY, BUT I WILL NOT WANT MY IDENTITY REVEALED. I WILL ALSO WANT TO BUY PROPERTIES AND STOCK IN MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANIES AND TO ENGAGE IN OTHER SAFE AND NON-SPECULATIVE INVESTMENTS. 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, WHICH I REPOSE IN YOU.

IN CONCLUSION, IF YOU WANT TO ASSIST US, MY SON 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.

FOR THIS REASON KINDLY FURNISH US YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION, THAT IS YOUR ADDRESS, PERSONAL TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER FOR CONFIDENTIAL PURPOSE.

I've got lots of these. I love 'em coz they're so funny.

I'm trying to collect the entire Sese-Seko family set.

Here's a few more:

Attn: Managing director/CEO

DEAR Sir,

I am the first son of the late Mobutu Sese Seko, the
former President of the Congo Republic.

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 (50 million US DOLLARS is my share of
my father's estate. I boxed and shipped the money to a
security company abroad at the peak of the
war/political crisis that rocked my country few years
ago. Now the crisis has ended and I need a trustworthy
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.

Note that I will send to you the relevant documents
that will enable you take possession of the fund for
onward investment for our mutual benefit. All I need
from you is as follows:

1.A letter of commitment (dully signed) that you will
keep the transaction strictly confidential.

2. Your confirmation of your ability to handle this.

3. Your international passport or driving license
number for identification to the security company.

4. Your telephone and fax numbers for communication.

5. 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. I will forward your name and
particulars to the security company to enable them
contact you accordingly. I will also send to you a
LETTER OF AUTHORITY to enable you clear the fund on my
behalf. Note that this is a very safe transaction as
this money is my share of my father's estate.

I am waiting for your response to enable us proceed.

Regards,

Moshood Seko Mobutu

Dear Friend,

My colleagues & I are currently in possession of (US$42,000,000.00)
(FORTY-TWO MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS) ,currently in a secure
suspense account of the Central Bank of Nigeria,awaiting payment into a
foreign account of our choice.

This money is as a result of a deal deliberately done
by us, where weover-invoiced one of the contracts
awarded under our supervision. The original contract
has already been executed & commissioned, leaving
us with the balance of $42,000,000.00. What we need is
a foreign bank account for us to transfer these funds.
This we are unable to do ourselves because we are
ordinary civil servants, & the laws of our country
forbid us from operating foreign accounts.

If you agree to assist us in this transaction, my
colleagues & I have decided to share the funds as follows:

20% to you for providing us with an account & for
safe keeping of
the funds.

70% for us the originators of this deal.

10% to cover any expenses (both local &
international) that might
be incurred during the course of this transaction.

free on your part & all modalities have been put in
place for a smooth & easy transferwithin 14 working
days from the commencement of the deal.

address, if you are interested or not. In case you
are not, it will enable us to find another alternative
arrangement. Please endeavour to keep this
transaction to yourself, as we are top government
officials & we do not want any type of exposure.

I await your immediate reply.

Best regards,

DEMOLA RASAQ

NB:IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEND ME YOUR TELE/FAX NUMBER SO THAT I

DETAILS OF THIS TRANSACTION VIA EMAIL. THANK YOU.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
RE: TRANSFER OF US$21.5 MILLION (TWENTY ONE MILLION,
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ONLY).

I know this email will reach you as a surprise, but
need not to worry
as
we are using the only secured and confidential medium
available to seek
for foreign assistance/partnership in a business
transaction which is
of
mutual benefit.

I am a member of the Federal Government of Nigeria
Contract Award and
Monitoring Committee in the Nigeria National Petroleum

Corporatio(NNPC).
Sometime ago, a contract was awarded to a foreign firm
in NNPC by my
Committee. This contract was over invoiced to the tune
of US$21.5M.
U.S.
Dollars. This was done deliberately. The
over-invoicing was a deal by
my
committee to benefit from the project. We now want to
transfer this
money which is in a suspense Account with NNPC into
any Overseas
Account
which we expect you to provide for us.

SHARE: -
For assisting us in this deal, you will be entitled to
30% of the
money,60% will be for me and my partners while 10% has
been mapped out
from the total sum to cover any expenses that maybe
incurred by us
during the course of this transfer, both locally and
international
expenses.

I would require your company's name,address,telephone
cell phone and fax numbers and also,
your banking details where the funds will be remitted
to i.e bank name, account number, routing number, banker phone and fax
number.

The above information would be used to make formal
applications as a
matter of procedure for the release of the money.
It does not matter whether or not your company does
contract projects
of
this nature described here. The assumption is that
your company won the
major contract and subcontracted it out to other
companies. More often
than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated
fields win major
contracts and subcontracts to more specialized firms
for execution of
such contracts.

We have strong reliable connections and contacts at
the Central Bank of
Nigeria, as well as the Federal Ministry of Finance
and we have no
doubt
that all the money will be released and transferred if
we get the
necessary foreign partner to assist us in this deal.
Therefore,when the
business is successfully concluded we shall through
our same
connections
withdraw all documents used from all the concerned
Government
Ministries
for 100% security.

We are ordinary civil servants and we will not want to
miss this once
in
a lifetime opportunity to get rich. We want this money
to be
transferred
to your nominated bank for us, before the present
Democratic Government
start Auditing all Federal Government owned
Parastatals.

Please contact me immediately through my fax number
whether or not you
are interested in this deal.If you are not,it will
enable me scout for
another foreign partner to carry out this deal. But
where you are
interested, send the required documents aforementioned
herein through
my
above fax number, as time is of the essence in this
business.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.

Yours faithfully,
Mr.Malenge Uwa.

ATTN, PLEASE

I AM DANIEL OBI THE AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA

I am writing following the impressive information about your profile through the website your capability and reliability to champion this opportunity. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of 20 million US dollars (twenty million US dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in September,1992 in a plane crash. Since we got this information about his death, we have been expecting his next of Kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of Kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking and financial policies but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him in the crash leaving no body behind to claim the money. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don t want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after long pirod, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indegine cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased family. We agreed that 25% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during this transaction and 70 % would be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. I decided to contact you as you have products of interest in your part of the world where we can invest our own percentage to avoid peoples awareness as we are civil servants. We can conclude this operation within ten banking days. Please keep this very confidential. Contact me for more information, all confirmable before you apply if you want.May God be with you. Trusting to hear from you shortly for a detailed information which are confirmable before you can make up your mind to apply.Peace and love always,

Best regard

DANIEL OBI
