Message from Mrs Rose Kabila : From Mrs Rose Kabila
Special Greetings to you
I am Mrs. Rose KABILA from democratic Republic of
Congo. There is an information I would like you to
keep very confidential. There is some amount of money
my husband late president Laurent Kabila deposited in
a security company in COTE D IVOIRE for safekeeping. Before
his eldest military son killed him. The squabble
happened as immediately we returned back from our
London trip. My husband married us two. I am the
second wife. I will not be able to give you the full
details that led to that ugly incident.
The eldest son is the current president of our country
now. For now I am staying in Abidjan, the capital of
the republic of COTE D IVOIRE just to save my life
with my two children. The money in question is 22
million U.S dollars. I cannot make the withdrawal of
this fund, because my husband registered the
beneficiary of the fund as his foreign business
partner and also family valuables as the content of
the deposit. The documents of the deposit are with me.
What I would want you to do is to assist me to get the
consignment withdrawn from the security company you
provide a new account for me in your name and transfer
the money to your country through the account. We
shall replace the name of the foreign partner to your
own name because the code was used for security
reason. I will give you 15% of the money for your
assistance. There is no risk in this transaction. I
would use the remaining balance of the money for an
investment in your country for the future of my
children. If you are interested and can maintain the
confidentiality of this transaction,please email me
immediately for more clarification. Also note that I
am staying in Abidjan, cote d ivoire as a refugee
because of the assassination of my late husband and
the civil war going on in our country, democratic
republic of Congo. I can speak English and my son also
speaks English very well,
Thank you very much,
God bless

this has been around a long ,long time. You'll get them with various names on them. I get, believe it or not, 50 of these a day. I belong to a helicopter group that is in the thousands of members, and we all get 350 or so messages a day. i even went from Windows 200 Pro over to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition hoping to cut down on this crap.. Haven't found anything that works yet..

The amazing thing is that these type of scams must work or they would have stopped trying. I guess there are some really naive people out there ????

Oh by the way....anyone want to buy a bridge .... its in Brooklyn, but you could ship it anywhere ? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I haven't seen this one before but after working for 2 years in Nigeria I must have got hundreds from there. Maybe they just moved along the coast a bit and forgot to send me a change of address card.
Surely nobody would be dumb enough to fall for this but you're right, if they didn't have any success they would have quit doing it a long time ago. Maybe it's correct that, "There's one born every minute". It makes me dispair for the hman race.

Frank, I've never been to Nigeria and I've gotten lots of the ones from there (or claiming to be from there).

Wasn't it David Hannum that said there is a sucker born every minute? That, of course, was before the advent of email ;-)
