FROM:MRS. M SESE-SEKO

DEAR FRIEND,

I AM MRS. 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,
THIS WAS IN CONFIDENCE CONSIDERING MY PRESENT
CIRCUMSTANCE AND SITUATION.

I ESCAPED ALONG WITH MY HUSBAND AND TWO OF OUR SON STEVEN KONGOLO AND BASHER OUT OF DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF
CONGO (DRC) TO ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE WHERE MY FAMILY
AND I SETTLED, WHILE WE LATER MOVED TO SETTLED IN
MORROCO WHERE MY HUSBAND LATER DIED OF CANCER
DISEASE. HOWEVER DUE TO THIS SITUATION WE DECIDED TO
CHANGED 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 (DR) 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 GETS BETTER,
LIKE NOW THAT PRESIDENT KABILA IS DEAD AND THE SON
TAKING OVER (JOSEPH KABILA). 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 EIHGTEEN
MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS(US$18,000,000,00.) 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 MY SON (STEVEN) WHO HAS
THE OUT 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 OMPANIES
AND TO ENGAGE IN OTHER SAFE AND NON-SPECULATIVE
INVESTMENTS. MAY I AT THIS POINT EMPHASISE 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.

Yes. In a lot of different formats.

I think I saw an article about that email. They made an arrest in S. Africa for a massive fraud operation. I'll look for it.

everyone gets that email!:thumbsup

I haven't yet. :(

Yep.... I get them.....

Use to get'em in snail mail also... Have not gotten one
for a long time... snail

Don't be a fool! I get em all the time in many forms. You put money in the same account, your fucking a dumbass. Don't even respond:warning

Ive made million helping my African brothers and sisters embezzle money from their governments. :thumbsup

Thats a variation of the famous Nigerian Scam.
I guess ,like viruses ,scams tend to mutate over time.

I have a friend who swears its true. :1orglaugh
He actually emailed them back 2 or 3 times.

This one is deadly - 15 people have been murdered because of this scam - see the State Department's info on how it works and more details:

wat a homo.. whoever does this kind of shit should get dick slapped

Never gotten it by email but I work parttime for a brokerage firm and we probably get one like that faxed or mailed to us at least once a week. Our compliance protocols force us to contact the SEC every time we get one. The feds are well aware of it but they always ask to forward it to them, especially the hard copy version as that is considered postal fraud.

We were told they are working to rectify (i like that word) the situation. However, in my opinion, they pretty much have their hands tied with all the new corporate scandals.

really?
