Dear Sir,
This is a call for peace and to help the world mostly we African to be free from Crisis, Wars and Genocides in our continent.
I am Mr. Mack Williams, the former Assistant to Sudanese rebel group leader Mr. John Garang the Senior rebel officer in western province of Darfur, I was contracted to supply Arms and Ammunitions Worth of US$10million for the Janjaweed's rebel front, from NORTH KOREA via CHINA but because I did not support the war in my country, on reaching China I decided to change this money meant for war to a judicious use and to safe lives, so I saved the money with a security company there in CHINA and came back to Sudan to take my family members and few friends out of the war turn country.
On my arrival in Sudan, the Government forces attacked me, so I ran to the refugee camp and there discovered that my family has also been attacked on the day the government receive the information about my trip to NORTH KOREA. Due to the attack I lost my passport, cloths and physical cash that were with me, so presently, I cannot travel or move around for me not to be notice by the Government forces or the Rebels who are waiting for me to send down Arms and Ammunitions for them.
Due to my current predicament, I am seeking for your assistance to help me retrieve the money out from the security company and save it with you and from there, take out money that you will use to travel down to Sudan to bring myself and my family out of this camp for us not to die here in the camp and the money lost forever, because here in the camp, there is Hunger, Starvation, all manner of Deceases that are killing people on hourly basis, frankly the sufferings here is unbearable. So I have decided to give you 40% of the total sum and I will take the balance of 60% for my use.
In view of my plait, I left the depository document with an official of the security company in Dubai and i will give you his detail for you to go and meet him if you are willing and interested to come to my rescue. Please also note that your full name address, telephone and fax numbers will be needed for communication made easy. And let confidentiality be our watchword. For the benefit of this transaction between us cannot be over emphasis when we work together as a team to achieve the goal of this transaction.
Consequently, I may be forced to reveal to the rebel leader where their money is, if I'm found while in the refugee camp for them to continue with their plans.
Thank you in anticipation of your acceptance and for your kind understanding and concern at this point of need.
Best Regards,
Mr. Mack Williams.
