Dearest,
Please permit me to make your acquaintance in an informal manner. This is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a dependable and trustworthy foreign partner. This request may seem strange and unsolicited but I will crave your indulgence and pray that you view it seriously.
I am Barrister Richard Ako. I am the family attorney to late Vice President John Garang. He died of the terrible helicopter crash on 1st August 2005 on his way coming back from Uganda for a peace talk between the two neighboring countries may his soul rest in perfect peace.My client Vice President John Garang, had some consignment Deposited with Intergrated Trust Finance and security company in Europe that contains raw cash.Because of the anti-terrorist laws, this funds was moved to the Finance company through diplomatic means to avoid international money laundering laws.
Because of the position of my late client as the vice president of Sudan, he was forced by the law of Sudan to declare all his assets, this includes all his bank accounts, both home and abroad as the number two citizen of the nation.You will Agree with me that Sudan has been in civil War for the past three decades. This has drawn the attention of the western world including the United Nations to impose serious economic sanctions on my country Sudan.
My client Vice President John Garang, had a concrete plan,seeking for a foreign partner to invest the funds, as he could not deposit the funds into his account because of the Sudanese law that does not permit any of the government officials to operate a foreign account, before he died of this terrible helicopter crash on the 1st August 2005.

As a matter of fact, my client died together with his family and these funds will remain unclaimed in the Finance company in Europe as non of Vice President John Garang's family knew anything about this project,I myself am afraid to tell any of them as I do not know who is loyal to the present government of the rebels, which I believe some of the family members belong to.
Moreover there is no way I will be able to put claims to this funds, as I am well known as a reputable attorney to the late Vice President John Garang also one time the attorney general to my country-Sudan. I will need the help of a trustworthy foreign partner to enable us lay claim to this funds hence I decided to contact you as a foreign partner to present to the Finance company in Europe as a next of kin to the late Vice President John Garang to enable us secure the funds from the custody of the Finance company for the mutual benefit of both of us.
The amount involved in this project is us$38m.(Thirty eight million united states dollars) for your assistance in helping me lay claims to the funds in the Finance company in Europe into your nominated bank account for safe keeping, I will offer you 27%, while 5% has been set aside for any expenses both parties might incure during the completion of this project,23% will be used for charity, while the remaining 45% which is my share will be used for any lucrative investment you will introduce me to in your country.Presently I am residing in Lome Togo with my family because of the rebells for they have declared me wanted.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.Please get in touch with me by my email to enable us discuss further.
yours sincerely,
Barrister Richard Ako,
