Just How Much Money Does The Republic Of Congo Have Anyways?

Apparently I’m not the only one who’s been contacted by the son of the late Democratic Republic of Congo President Laurent Desire Kabila. I’ve also been contacted by several other members of royalty or political dissidents who are fleeing the Congo.

Each of these people need MY help in transferring insane amounts of money. I’m talking barrels and barrels of cashola. Apparently, nearly everyone I know has been contacted by someone from the Congo wishing to transfer money. Congo must be a very very rich country. These guys are smuggling enough cash to make Bill Gates look homeless.

Well, some (like you) get money from Congo and some (like me) get money from Nigeria. Yes, judging from the number of emails, I think I have exclusivity for the later.

Apparently someone responded to one of these "Spanish Prisoner" e-mails, and put a website up showing the results of various "tests" he put "Laurent Kabila" through. For example, requiring him to send a picture with a recent copy of the New York times to prove that the e-mail was current. Unfortunately, I don't have the URL.

I wouldn't trust 'em but just FYI there is a fair amount of cash in the Congo. Have a look here : http://www.corporatewatch.org.uk/newsletter/issue13/issue13_part3.htm
