Hi
 The older archives can be found with a web search. Once
found, it is simple to harvest email addresses. I don't
think I got this one yet but then, they all look the same.
For a while, you could just look for $20.5M but over
time they have varied the amount.

>I am the son of the late president of Democratic Republic Of Zaire, President
Mobutu Sese Seko, ( now The Republic of Congo, under the leadership of the son
of Mr. Laurent Kabila). I presume you are aware there is a financial dispute
between my family ( THEMOBUTUS ) and the present civilian Government. This is
based on what they believe as bad and corrupt governance on my late father's
part. May his soul rest in perfect peace. As you might have heard how a lot of
my father's bank account in Switzerland and North America have been frozen.
Following the above named reasons, I am soliciting for your humble and
confidential assistance to take custody of THIRTY Million United States Dollars
( US$30,000,000.00 ), also to front for me in the areas of business you desire
profitable.
