Dear Friend
My greetings to you. I am Paschal Welsh, I represent Rebecca Nyandeng de
Mabior, wife of John Garang the late vice president of Sudan and erstwhile
leader of Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) who died on the 30th of
July 2005 in a helicopter crash in southern Sudan, near the border with
northeast Uganda. I am contacting you with the hope that you can be of
great assistance to this family.
The late John Garang was born in 1945 into the Southern Dinka group. His
family was Christian and he went on to study in the United States. He
studied at Grinnell College, Iowa, USA and earned a PhD in Agricultural
Economics. He later returned to the USA for military training at Fort
Benning, Georgia. He led the Sudan People's Liberation Army, which fought
one of Africa's longest-running wars for 22 years between the Christian
and animist South and the Muslim, Arab-speaking North. The war officially
ended and John Garang was appointed first vice-president - a position he
held for only three weeks before he was killed in a helicopter crash. His
inauguration July 9 2005 was seen as a key to bringing peace to Sudan and
as a chance to resolve other bloody conflicts in Sudan, including the
humanitarian crisis in the western region of Darfur. He was a key figure
in the country's fledgling peace deal and one of the few senior
southerners who really believed in the concept of a united Sudan.
Since his death, the family has been losing a lot of money due to
vindictive government officials who are bent on dealing with the family.
Based on this therefore, his wife has asked me to seek for a foreign
partner who can work with us as to move out the total sum of
US$12,150,000.00 (Twelve Million One Hundred and Fifty Thousand United
States Dollars), presently in their possession. The money is kept in the
vault of a Security firm in Europe. This money was given secretly to the
late John Garang before the peace deal was brokered by the Malaysian oil
Company exploiting oil in upper Nile Region of South Sudan in return for
SPLA not to destroy its oil operations. Since this money is still in cash,
extra security measures have been taken to protect it from theft or
seizure. He had secretly kept this money from aides as well as the
President Omar al-Bashir led government whose long-term interest is not in
the peace agreement but about keeping their access to money and power and
the oil wealth in the South. The bid by some government officials to deal
with this family has made it necessary that we seek your assistance in
receiving this money and in investing it on behalf of the family. I have
personally worked out all modalities for the peaceful conclusion of this
transaction.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk-free. Therefore, if
you accept we are willing to offer you 20% of the total sum for your
assistance, 50% will be for the family's investment in your country while
the balance 30% will be used to help the humanitarian problem in Southern
Sudan by contributing the amount to the Red Cross and other Humanitarian
agencies presently involved in Southern Sudan. This is what the late John
Garang would have wanted.
Please you are required to treat this letter as very confidential as no
other person knows about this money except myself, Rebecca de Mabior and
your very self. In the event you are not interested, I sincerely ask that
you disregard this email and respect our trust in you by not exposing this
transaction.
Please reach me immediately through the email address
paschalwelshesq@maktoob.com and send to me your confidential telephone and
fax number(s) so that I can reach you as soon as possible.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours truly,
Paschal Welsh Esq.
