YANL - Via DRC and South Africa
Yet another!
This certainly is a week for notes from people I do not know who want to “give” me money. Big money, it seems, just for doing them a favor!
Funny. So many are out of Africa and do not know English very well..Hmmmmm.
Could the Scam Hook be any more obvious?

Email: kainkablia@yahoo.comDear,
with due respect, trust and humility, I write to you irrespective of the fact that you do not know me. Let me formally introduce myself. I am MR KAIN KABLIA I served as a personal military advisor during the aborted rule of late President Laurent Kablia of the Democratic Republic of Congo (D.R.C) who was assassinated on January 16, 2001, by one of his close aides. I came across your contact courtesy of the world business journal from the Johannesburg chamber of commerce, in my earnest search for a reliable and trust worthy individual who can help me handle this confidential business.
On May 17, 1997, after months of guerrilla warfare, late President Kabila came to power by successfully ousting the former dictator, late President Mobutu Sees Seko. After assuming office on May 29, 1997, Late President Desire Laurent Kabila, a former rebel leader, fought a rebellion from the disaffected Tutsis from Goma in the Eastern Congo (D.R.C), backed by Rwanda , Uganda and Burundi till late.
The late president Kabila had arranged under my care for arms purchase from the Republic of South Africa worth US$28M (Twenty Eight Million United States Dollars) cash. This money was brought into South Africa through diplomatic means. Soon after the news of President Kablia’s Death reached while in Johannesburg , South Africa , I decided to keep this money for personal purposes. Presently, the money is deposited and secured in the vaults of a private security company in Johannesburg for safekeeping.
Presently, I am residing temporarily in Johannesburg pending the outcome of an appeal filed on my behalf by my attorney for the department of Home affairs to grant me asylum status. At the moment I am in a dilemma on how to move this money safely out of South Africa , due to it’s government monetary policies, rules and regulations. Moreover owing to sensitive and volatile political status of the region, it would be most dangerous to attempt investments here as such act could jeopardize my chances.
In recognition of your personal executive powers and investment opportunities that abound in your country, I solicit for your assistance in moving this money into your bank account for safekeeping pending my arrival for investment. I have resolved to adequately compensate you by offering a brokerage commission of 25% net pre-transfer expenses you may incur, 5% set aside for general expenses and 70% for investment and I guarantee that all expenses during the transaction are subject to refund.
I must emphasize that this proposal requires a high degree of confidentiality and mutual trust. I have in mind to establish a genuine business relationship with you in the nearest future, if you will be able to help me. Please let me receive your approval or reply by direct faxing or telephone and feel free to ask questions you may consider relevant.
Please accept my warm compliments, as I earnestly await your urgent reply.
Yours Faithfully
Mr. Kain Kablia,
