Dear Sir,

RE: ASSISTANCE

My name is Mr. Alpha Ahme ,Jnr. from Sudan, and the first son of Dr.Ahmed
Aliu . It might be a surprise to you as to how I got your contact; I got
your contact from the South African Information Exchange (SAIE) in Pretoria.


During the current war against the rebels in Sudan, from the supporters
of President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir, in his effort to chase the rebels out
of the country.

My father was a Cabinet Member of President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir?s Administration,
but he did not support some of his policies.

Because of this, our house was invaded and burnt by Government supporters.
In the course of the attack, my father was killed, and the invaders made
away with a lot of items from my father?s farm and our family house was
totally destroyed.

My mother almost passed away after a heart attack. Before the death of my
father, he draw to my attention to the sum of US$10 MILLION (TEN MILLION
UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY), which he had deposited with a private Security
Company in South Africa during his tenure as the Presidential Adviser to
the President of Sudan.

My mother, my younger sister and myself decided to move to South Africa
for our own security, for our lives were in danger. However the content
of the consignment were stored as important personal valuable by my father
using his diplomatic immunity then as Presidential adviser.

I decided to contact you (your firm) to assist my family and I in moving
the money out of South Africa. This became necessary after we were denied
every right to run bank accounts or any other form of financial transaction
for we are political asylum seekers in South Africa.

I want immediate confirmation of your interest by Tel +27 72 443 3809 or
E-mail:aliplc2003@yahoo.ca as soon as I get your response I shall give
out more details on how we shall proceed and also will be in a position
to give you details on the agreed sharing ratio. Kindly keep this proposal
strictly confidential because of our present status here in South Africa.



Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.

Best regards,

Mr. Alpha Ahme Jnr,
(For the family)

NB:PLEASE USE MY PRIVATE E-MAIL ADDRESS TO CONTACT ME BECAUSE I WILL BE
ON IT (aliplc2003@yahoo.ca)
AM WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY HERE.
