From: Capt. Kenneth Mudzuri
Dear Sir,
I got your contact through a friend whom we attended a training school together in your country. I am Capt. Kenneth Mudzuri, the former Commander of the Security Guards of the late Laurent Kabila (former President, Democratic Republic of Congo), I am presently in self-exile with my wife and one child in refugee camp in South Africa due to the threat of the present Government headed by the son of Late Laurent Kabila attempted to assassinate me and my family,
accusing me that I know about the death of his father.
Before the death of his father, I assisted Late President Laurent Kabila to deposit an amount of US$16.2M(Sixteen Million, Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a Security company in Europe during the war in my Country. Although the Security Company does not know the content of the box deposited because we gave false information claiming the content are personal effects of Mr. Laurent Kabila. It is in this respect that I seek your help to assist me claim this fund before the present Government headed by the son will have knowledge of this money to avoid being taken away.
On conclusion of this business, I shall compensate you with 25% of the fund for your assistance, while 5% is mapped out for any on foreseen expenses during the cause of transaction, and the remaining 70% are ours. We are ready to invest our 70% in any profitable business proposed by you in your country. I also welcome your terms, suggestions and ideas.
If you are willing to assist us, when replying, kindly furnish me with your full name, address, Tel/Fax Numbers (Private) for a personal contact with you.
Sincerely yours,
Capt. Kenneth Mudzuri

Dear ***,
Thank your for your prompt response.
I would be forwarding your information to our local bank for the change in documents. I will advise you to get a phone/fax because the bank would contact you through either of the
two.
We count on your co-operation.
Sincerely yours,
Mudzuri
********************************
I'm sure the bank will have no problem contacting me through a means other than a phone. Banks these days have special employees that are able to communicate telepathically across continents through dreams. Did you know this?
Tell the bank that I will try to get a good night's sleep on the night of Wednesday May 28th - So there will be plenty of dreamtime for them to communicate with me. If necessary I will add opium to my night-time milk since this is known to enhance the dreamstate awareness, and i'll be less likely to forget any important communication once i wake up.
Again, I thank you for your patience,
***

Dear Sir,
BUSINESS PROPOSAL
My name is Mudzuri Kenneth, I am from Seguela, Cote d'Ivoire, during the present political crisis between the Christian and Muslim in my country my father was assassinated because he was a Christian and chairman of the cocoa merchandize. My father foresaw the upcoming of the crisis in my country and deposited his fund with a security company.
I am writing you for assistance if you can help us receive an amount of fund my late father deposited with a security company in Lome, for the purchase of farm machineries and his future Investment.
Before his untimely death he notified my mother and me about the fund and the documents covering the deposit of the fund with the security company are with us. Presently, I have instructed the Security Company to transfer the fund to their branch oversea because of the uncertainty and crisis that engulf most of African countries now.
We shall like you to work with us as a foreign associate to claim the of $16.2million, we are now soliciting for your assistance to claim this fund on our behalf and put it into your account overseas. We are in a refugee camp in Accra, Ghana now to protect our dear life from the assassins.
We would give you 10% of the fund for your assistance and 5% is set aside for any expenses we might incurred during the course of this transaction, while 85% is for my family. Our 85% would be kept in your account pending when you provide me and family with all necessary documents to enable us travel out of the camp to your country and you will advise us on how to invest the fund in lucrative business that would be very profitable.
Please if you are honest and interested in assisting us do send your full name, address and telephone when replying me so that we can prepare a letter of authority that would enable you claim the consignment on our behalf from the Security Company.
Awaiting your response.
Best regards,
Mudzuri Kenneth,
