Pen Pals for the Lonely
I have been corresponding with Madam Marie Kabila, widow of the late Laurent Kabila, former president of the Congo. A dozen letters have gone back and forth. She is making arrangements to ship two boxes full of money to me from a security company in Spain. The company does not know that the boxes contain 25 million in cash. Right now she is mad at me because I haven't made arrangements to pay for the shipping. Were you aware that it costs $45,000 to ship two boxes from Spain? My goal is to get her to send me money to help pay the shipping costs. Is it a crime to scam a scammer?
I have also had correspondence with Amina Amin, the widow of Idi, and various other government officials.
It's interesting, when they type up a contract and send it as a Word document you can go into the document properties and see their real name.
