Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2006 13:29:42 +0100
Subject:
Dr. Khan Q. Abdul
Khan Research Institute, Pakistan.
E-mail: drkhan_abdul_02@yahoo.co.uk <mailto:drkhan_abdul_02@yahoo.co.uk>
Attn: Sir,
I am Dr. Khan Abdul Quader, a native of Pakistan
Nationality and a
Renowned Nuclear Scientist/founder of Pakistan Nuclear
bomb. After my
televised admission of leaking nuclear arms secrets to
Iran,Libya and North
Korea. And, in my confessional speech I took full
responsibility for
the scandal and absolved the government and fellow
scientists of any
blame.
President Musharraf of the Pakistan Government was
reported to have
said that there was a written mercy appeal from my
very good self and
there was a written pardon from the President. Though
Pakistani
commentators have called for a full investigation into
the proliferation scandal
saying that I have been made a scapegoat to cover up
military
involvement and also the President has made it clear
that Pakistan would not hand
over any document relating to the investigation into
the proliferation
scandal to the IAEA whose head has warned that I, Dr.
Khan was the "tip
of the ice berg for us" in the illegal trafficking of
nuclear
technology.
The President's emphatically pointed out that there
had been no
official or governmental involvement in the transfer
of nuclear technology. He
also added that the accusations against some Pakistani
scientists who
had done so was based on grounds of personal financial
benefits they
were alleged to have gained just as there were
accusations against some
Europeans as well. President Musharraf's emphasis on
dissociation of any
governmental authority's role in the process of
transfer of nuclear
technology is borne out by the reactions of people in
authority at the
time the transfer had taken place.
All, I want from you is honesty and sincerity to
assist me make claims
of some funds, I did deposited in Abroad, as the other
deposits
documents have been confiscated and seized by the the
government. But, this
one is the only one they could not source out, as I
did kept the
documents with one of my close confidant, who was also
arrested. The Amount
being deposited is much about US$25,500,000.00 (Twenty
Five Million, Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only), as this
was the money
that was supposed to be for myself as part of my
consultancy fee for the
transfer of nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and
North Korea and has
been lodged with a Finance/Investment body
for safety, abroad.
I have been recently been removed from my post as the
Scientific
Adviser to the Pakistani Prime Minister.Though not
arrested I have been
advised not to leave town without government
permission and also not to make
any out going calls but can only send / receive out
emails. I will look
for a way out and sneaked out of Pakistan and travel
down
to meet you, so we can go into a life time Joint
venture Partnership
together, in investing this money in your country and
anywhere else you
prefer. I will send you my Photo, My private mail
address is below,
please do reply via it.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Khan Q. Abdul
