STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

NAME: MR. GEORGE MFWAMBA
SUBJECT: YOUR ASSISTANCE
COUNTRY: BENIN REPUBLIC
 CITY: COTONUO

My Dear Friend, 

I am highly compelled upon strict recommendation, to write you 
this very urgent and confidential letter. I do hope my letter 
will not embarrass you since I had no previous correspondence 
with you. I hope this mail will not come to you as a surprise.

I am sending this proposal with due sense of humanity, 
responsibility and with few 
awareness that you will give it a due attention. I regret the 
inconvenience it may cause you based on the condition that we 
have not met before. 

My names are George Mfwamba, a son to the personal assistant to 
Laurent Kabila, the late head of state/President of Democratic 
Republic of Congo. I am contacting you in view of the fact that 
you will be of great assistance to each other like wise 
developing a cordial relationship.
 My father along with the head of state (Laurent Kabila) and some 
top officials of their 
past administration were killed in a palace coup sort of; in 
January 2001, The current 
attitude of the present government headed by Laurent Kabila's son 
(Joseph) towards my
family has indeed made life quite unbearable for us forcing us to 
run to Republic of Benin to seek refuge.

Fortunately, my late father had Twelve million and five hundred 
thousand United States
Dollars (US$12.5 million) cash, which they intended to use for 
arms importation then to 
quell the rebellion and war from other opposing forces before 
their untimely death. 

This money was however diverted to and kept in a private security 
company in Cotonu, Republic of Benin. This money was deposited 
for safe keeping in the security vault of a freighting agency 
here by my father preparatory to being air lifted abroad for 
investment purposes (under the guise that money was remitted to 
the arms dealers) before his death leaving a clause that an 
expatriate partner could only claim it.
 It is only family and myself that know where the money is kept. 
May his soul
rest is peace Due to the current situation in my country 
concerning government’s vendetta toward my family and other 
sundry crisis of leadership and rebel
uprising, we seek your assistance to transfer this money out of 
Benin Republic for the
purpose of investment as intended by my father. We cannot take 
the money back to Congo at all again.

Note that my family as asylum seekers with refugee status in 
Benin Republic is currently 
being protected by our host government. Towards this effect, an 
embargo restricting my 
family members from traveling or carrying out financial 
transactions without their express permission is in force. 
However, I have an arrangement on how you can help us to claim 
this money to you after receiving some assurances from you of the 
safety our own share and that you will only take the commission 
that we will offer you.

This money personally belongs to us and we intend that it still 
be used for investment. No record ever existed concerning this 
money, neither is the money traceable by the 
government because there is no documentation concerning the funds 
in the Federal Treasury of Democratic Republic of Congo or 
Republic of Benin where I am presently as a refugee 

The company here has confirmed that as soon as a foreign 
expatriate whom the family will bring comes, they will 
immediately formalize arrangement and release the consignment to 
him/her.
Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this 
fund, we propose a 
commensurate commission of the total sum to you for the expected 
services and assistance While 5% is mapped out for miscellaneous 
and other associated expenses.

On your positive consent, I shall expect you to contact me 
urgently to enable us discuss 
about this. Your urgent response is highly needed. I must use 
this opportunity to implore 
you to exercise utmost indulgence to keep this matter 
extraordinarily confidential, while 

I await your prompt response.

Best regards,

MR. GEORGE MFWAMBA
