Subject: RE; LETTER
MR JAMAL TURABI
NO; 35 BEREA ROAD
PARKVEIW 2147.
TELL; 27-83-752-9233
JOHANNESBURG
SOUTH AFRICA.
ATTENTION,
I know this letter will come to you as a surprise. I got
your contact through network online here in south Africa
My name is JAMAL TURABI; I'm a member of popular congress a
Political party in Sudan. The SMC, an agency with close
Links to the government, showed pictures of an arms cache
found in north Khartoum, consisting of 300
rifles, grenades and thousands of rounds of ammunition,
which security Services said were to be used in the
sabotage attempt. This is not true; the government has been
oppressing my People.
It is the third time in six months that the PC has been
accused of such plotting. Turabi was arrested and the party
suspended after the Government accused him of a similar
plot and of inciting Tribal tensions in the troubled
western Darfur region, where a 19-month-old rebellion is
exacting huge political Pressure on the government. The
government secretly executed my father after Accusations
that he is a part of the coup;
I had to leave my country with my mother to South Africa.
My mother knows about the money belonging to the PC
deposited by my father in the Security Firm here in South
Africa. At the time of Deposition, the real content was not
disclosed to the Security officials; instead, it was
deposited as Family Valuables valued for the real content
in the consignment. Four Million Five Hundred Thousand States
Dollars, (USD 4.5million). We now want to take this money
for our personal use since No one else is aware of such
deposit but my mother.
After the bloody incident, we all had to escape our country
for the safety of our lives. We seek refuge in South Africa
and we were permitted to reside here as Political Refugees
under section (5.9). Because of our present and unpleasant
status, my mother and I are seriously looking forward to
having an overseas partner that will assist us with the
convenient and legal transfer of the funds out of South
Africa. We are open for negotiation on your remuneration if
you are to assist us with removal of the entire fund from
South Africa to a safe haven for us; we are looking to
invest in long-term viable social responsible contracts in
your country under your supervision and assistance. In God
I pray that you contact me at least to know more of our
strife. Please protect my family by keeping this
information private and confidential. Contact me on the
following: Telephone: and email address above for more
details.
Best Regards,
MR JAMAL TURABI
