Dear BritDisc
In reference to a recent spam email claiming to be from the son of the
deceased president of the republic of the Congo, please just erase it. The
serious fraud office have asked that these messages be forwarded on to them,
which I have done, for investigation. I know that you're all too smart to
even consider that this was genuine, but the BBC's Working Lunch programme
recently highlighted that this is becoming an increasing problem so better
safe than sorry.

>My name is Victor Kabila from the Democratic Republic
>of Congo, the first son of second wife to Laurent
>Kabila. As you know that my father Laurent Kabila,
>President of the Republic of Congo was assassinated by
>a bodyguard on the 16th of January 2001. My late
>father used his position to make some fortune for
>himself and his children. I was studying overseas when
>my father died and was forced to return for his
>burial. After his burial the family started having
>problems, which is phenomenal with polygamous
>families.
>He married three wives and had ten children. It is as
>a result of this problem that I beckoned on my
>father’s attorney for advice. And he notified me about
>my father’s “WILL” with his chamber. When I was going
>through the “WILL” I discovered that my late father
>foresaw what would happen in future when he died. That
>led him to share his assets among his children. He
>drew my attention where he states:
>“As a father who loves and care for his children, I
>took it upon myself to share my properties to the
>three families I have. For you Victor, I have a box
>deposited with a security company in Johannesburg,
>South Africa for you to take care of yourself, your
>mother, your brother and two sisters in case you see
>me no more. The box contains US$25.5 Million (Twenty
>Five Million Five hundred thousand United States
>Dollars). I deposited the said box in Johannesburg,
>South Africa as valuables. You have to go to my
>attorney and collect a letter containing all you need
>to know about the box. Besides, the box was deposited
>in your name and you alone can claim it”
>With these as my father’s words, I see that my
>father’s family cannot accommodate me and Joseph, now
>the President of Democratic Republic of Congo, I
>decided to solicit for your help to transfer this
>money into your company or private account on any
>other part of the world. Secondly, you will also help
>me to look for profitable investment overseas because
>I do
>not have any knowledge of international investment. If
>you are interested in helping me, please contact me
>with the above mentioned telephone or e-mail
>indicating your interest in helping me. I will
>compensate you with 30% of the total sum for your
>assistance, 5% for expenses that may be incurred in
>the course of this transaction and the remaining 65%
>will be for my family and I, which you will help to
>invest. This transaction needs utmost trust and
>confidentiality. Note also this transaction attracts
>no risk on your side since I have arranged all
>modalities for safe, smooth and successful
>transaction. Looking forward to your urgent reply.
>Remain blessed.
