Rtd.Capt John Nunda,
P.O.Box 2252,Bassonia
Johannesburg.
Compliments of the day,
With all due respect,I introduce myself to you as Captain(rtd) John Nunda,Sudanese Citizen from the Darfur Region of Sudan which has been beseiged by Government Forces due to our long struggle for Separation due to victimization,oppression and neglect by the Government of Sudan.I am contacting you from Johannesburg where I am presently residing,I arrived here in July 2003 on a mission to purchase satellite co-axial cables for enhanced communication in our Headquarters. I arrived here on the instructions of Late Colonel Abbas Kefari on a VERY CONFIDENTIAL MISSION(VCM).Colonel Kefari was the Commander of our armed forces.I was to meet with some American Suppliers and hand over a certain sum of money in cash, this money was moved into South-Africa via diplomatic channels and was intended to ease and fasten the purchase of the cables.Whilst awaiting the arrival of the suppliers,I learnt that my commander hadbeen killed in a 4 hour battle with Government forces and I immediately saw it as an opportunity to withh
old the funds because I was a strong opponent of the War which had killed almost 100,000 people.My reason for contacting you is simple and short, I have made good arrangements to move this money out of South-Africa but I need your assistance as a foreigner.I am offering you a commission of 2,000,000 USD upon succesful conclusion. I require your honest, transparent and sincere assistance because there is no risk involved, your reputation, credibility,good name will never be jeopardised.Due to the fact that I came on a secret mission, the only person that knew about this money was the Late Colonel kefari, after his death, I informed the American suppliers that the deal has been cancelled and that I had returned the money back to HQ.This is a good opportunity to have this money moved out of South-Africa for investment overseas under your capable guidance and experience because I do not know what to do with this money once it leaves South-Africa.Please endeavour to keep this information confidential and I will
give you details of the assistance I require from you upon your earliest reply to this Email address. I assure you that the success of this venture requires 100% trust in each other. Please provide me with your Telephone and fax numbers in your reply.Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
JOHN NUNDA.
BASSONIA, JOHANNESBURG
