Subject: RE: OVERSEA INVESTMENT
Attention: The Managing Director & Ceo
Dear Sir,
Before I proceed in my business proposal letter, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I would like you to give it a top consideration, though, I do not know you in person but I still maintain my late father's theory that business is people and contacts. Hence I crave your assistance.
Briefly , I am a Sudanese National and the wife to late Dr. John DeMabior Garang, the leader and founder of Sudanese People Liberation Movement. Until his death, my husband was the Vice President of the Republic of Sudan. He was killied in a helicopter crash on his returning from a meeting with the Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on the 30th of July 2005. His death has left a big hole in my life and the life of many people in my family and country at large.As most people in Sudan knows very well that my husband was killed by some wicked politicians in the country.
My late husband had been leader of the Sudan People's Liberation Army for the past 21 years, ruling with a quick wit, ferocious temper and longing to see the long-suffering people of southern Sudan experience a better life. He had lived and fought for peace and one united Sudan, and just as he was on the verge of achieving what he has lived and fought for, he is taken away from us.
Having met you, I am obliged to open up to you hoping your assistance and advise will be of huge benefit to me and my children. Because of the fear and danger that is looming around my family of which we do not know our fate at the moment what tomorrow might bring, I decided to contact you for your assistance to help me secure and invest the sum Twenty five million united states dollars which my late husband left for us in order to enable me and my children have a better future ahead.
This money in question has however, been carefully keptin defaced form and deposited with a Ghana based security specialist private firm for the entire family. We have contacted the security firm and it was been confirmed that the Diplomatic consigment are still intact and we are absolutely free to come fort with the cerfiticate of deposit and other documents for the claim any time we want due to death of my husband.
Now that I have decided to see that this money is been taken care of as to ensure that the family still have something to hold onto in the near future, I do therefore, seek your kind assistance to enable us secure and invest this money properly into a good line of business in your country as we cannot hold such huge amount in my country for security reasons.This why I decieded to contact you for immediate assistance.
On your acceptance to assist us to secure and move the funds to your country, I will send the copy of all the financial deposit to you, while I will hand over all the original financial deposit documents to my Son , who will fly down to meet you as to see that both of you will discuss business investment and to see that this fund is been secured into your account prior to the investment proper.
In view of this plight, I expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to assist us , we are ready to give you a good negotiable percentage for your assistance and candid effort in this regard, or better still commit it into viable Joint venture projects. And we will also discuss your percentage shares in any investment we will embark upon. We have also set aside 5% of the for ancillary expenses which the both parties will make in course of this transaction. I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business venture will derive a huge success hereafter.
Finally, I want you to also know that the heat of this crisis is still hot now in my country and as such I will prefer you keep this mail very confidential as to ensure that we successfully move the money out of Africa and that you secure it very well. I will give you more details on recieving your prompt reply. For more informations in relation to my late husband I will advice you to check on this site: <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/4737661.stm><http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/4737661.stm..............http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2134220.stm>
