From: emllunga44@mail.com To: RM.GOV_PO.GOV_MAIL Created: 9/9/2002 2:44 AM Subject: Emile Llunga Message: Dear Sir, I am the eldest son of the late Emile Llunga (a foremost human rights/political activist in the Democratic Republic of Congo). My father died in March 2000 as a result of the inhumane treatment meted out on him while in prison by the government of Laurent Kabila. However, it is particularly important to mention here that before the death of my father, he was a successful businessman and his business empire includes real estate, exportation, and consultancy services which cut across Africa. He was able to accumulate enough money both in local and foreign currencies through his business empire. In fact, he was at one time rated among the first five richest Congolese businessmen by one of the leading business magazines in my country. His entire business has been on the upward trend over the past ten years, bringing his net profit during the period under review to Twenty one million U.S dollars ($21,000,000). This of course does not i! nclude his assets which are already running into millions of dollars. Having said all this, there was a twist in my fathers success story following his confrontation with the government of Laurent Kabila who has been quite high-handed and dictatorial in his policies and day-to-day running of the affairs of the Congolese people. My father being a human rights activist, criticised his government in both local and international newspapers. This infuriated him and he clamped my father in jail until he died in March last year due to ill health. Fortunately, before the arrest of my father, his attorney acting upon his instructions, transferred the sum of Twenty one million U.S dollars ($21,000,000) from his local banks to a security firm overseas. He did this for fear of this accounts being frozen by the government. Following my fathers death, my entire family decided to seek political assylum in Lome-Togo, as the eldest son of my la! te father and according to our tradition in Africa. I have now inherited all my fathers wealth. Considering the present face-off between Kabila and my family, I was then advised by my fathers attorney (presently my attorney) to seek the assistance of someone based in your country to assist by helping us collect/receive the amount in question being ($21,000,000)and also secure in safe place. Since I have the intention of relocating my family there with the aim of settling down there and investing. I have decided to give you 5% of the total amount involved and we will also set aside 5% for any expenses that might be incurred in the course of this transaction. To finalize this transaction you will have to contact me via my e-mail address (emllunga56@mail.com), for further discussions on how and when we shall be meeting to conclude this project. I shall expect you to keep this transaction confidential due to the present circumsta! nce of my family and I urgently await your response. Yours faithfully Emmanuel Llunga - Attachment Filename: C:\archives\governor\mail\Governor Musgrove\_attach\Emile Llunga\Mime.822
