Sir, My name is John Garang Jr, from the Republic of Sudan. I am writing
you with trust and Confidentiality. And I got your contact through the
Internet. It is my humble Decision to solicit for your understanding and
cooperation in this business that will benefit you and I. At the mid
term of the rebellion which is still on till date, my father (Dr. John Garang
DeMabior), thinking fast, decided to send my brother and I out of the country
(Sudan), with a total sum of (US$25M), twenty five million United States
Dollars only. This money was meant for the purchase of arms and ammunitions
for the rebel, but my father had to divert the funds as a way of frustrating
the on-going war that has claimed the lives of millions of Sudanese. The
bills were carefully moved as diplomatic baggage. Please log on to these web
sites: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/country_profiles/820864.stm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Garang On our arrival in Madrid, Spain,
we discovered that as political asylum seekers, we are not allowed to operate
bank account (s). With the instruction of my father, we deposited the baggage
in a security company. This was without declaring the contents to them.
Unfortunately, because of my father’s political influence, he was
assassinated. We therefore need your assistance by coming to Madrid to
open a non-resident bank account with any of the local banks. The non
resident account will enable the onward telegraphic transfer of the
funds to your nominated bank account. The whole arrangement will be strictly
under our supervision and the transaction will be absolutely risked free. The
transfer to your account would be completed the same day. We intend to share
the money upon successful completion of the transaction as follows:- 26% will
be entitled to you for your assistance, while 70% will be for us and 4% will
be set aside to take care of expenses. Should this meet your utmost
consideration, kindly write back immediately to confirm your earliest date of
arrival? The confidentiality of this transaction cannot be over
emphasized as we trust and believe that you will oblige us the security and
attention it demands. Please reply through my confidential email:
joga2009@yahoo.com.hk Thank you very much. John
Garang Jr.
