Dear Friend,
With warm hearts and my greetings I hope this email-message meets you in good time. It will be strange to you to receive this e-mail from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your assistance in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind as a person of integrity.
My name is Isaac Garang, the son of late Mr. Samuel Garang, a business man from Sudan, Who was murdered during the conflict between Sudanese Government and SPLMA (Sudan People's Libration Movement Army) over the control of our natural resources.
As led by my instinct, I decided to contact you through e-mail, as it is the only means I can contact anybody. I apologize if this is not acceptable by you. After the death of my father, our local pastor and my father's lawyer handed me over his will documents with instructions from my father that i should leave Sudan incase anything happens to him. The will documents has a certificate of deposit, confirming a cash deposit totalling Twelve million united state dollars (12m) being money he made from oil deals, kept in custody of a security and finance company, unknown to the company that the content is money because it was deposited as personal belongings.
This violent and barbaric act by Sudanese Government and SPLMA has since led to the death of my beloved mother and kid sister and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resisted for a while, but when the dangers became unbearable, I fled Sudan with the help of our local pastor following the ugly development of the civil war that has lasted for more than two decades.
I am currently staying in South Africa where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because of the security and finance company where the money was deposited. I need to transfer this money to your account and invest part of the money. This is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner like you, you have to understand that this decision taken by me is a very big and brave one, and I entrusts my future in your hands.
I hope you 'll accept to assist me with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security and finance company from their office here in South Africa. I'm prepared to give you 10% of the total amount in question.
Best Regards
Isaac Garang
