Dear Beloved

Beloved,
My contacting you is based on trust, I hope you will live upto my
expectation at the end of this project. I have seen war and I have
seenpeace, I have seen riches and I have seen people die of hunger on daily
bases.


I am quite certain that life is vanity upon vanity, the only life
worth living is a life of service to humanity and the almightyALLAH, most
merciful,most compassionate and most benevolent. This is the reason
for my present decision based absolutely hope on ALLAH.
Before I proceed, may I humbly introduce myself to you, My Name is
Mrs.Wisal al-Mahdi Hasan al-Turabi ,a Sunannese refugee from Darfur region,

my late husband was until recently, one of the personal aid to the late
president of Sudan who died in air crash and also leader of sudan
ismalic movement, may his soul rest in peace.Due to the aircrash which lead
to the sudden death of the past president ,my late husband Late Mr
Hasan al-Turabi who was the personal aid to the president also lost his
own life in the air crash.After my late husband's death ,my son and I
inherited the sum of US$16 million which he deposited in a safe deposit
company in Cambodia (the neighboring country to Thailand). The funds were
originally gotten from my late husband proceeds hence my late husband
also deals on the exportation of crude oil and Sudannese dry fruits.

My late husband was able to secure the funds(usd$16Million)with a very
good diplomatic officials from UK who was on an official duty in Sudan
then, the diplomatic officials helped my late husband in packaging the
funds which was sealed and brought from Sudan to Cambodia as a
diplomatic package through a diplomatic carrier service. The diplomatic
officials who brought the funds into Cambodia also helped my late husband in
depositing the funds with a safe deposit company here in Cambodia.

I have decided to contact you because I am interested in investing this
fund (usd$16Million)in your country which I believe is investor
friendly than Cambodia.
Please kindly guide and assist me in making the right investment since
I am also interested in buying a residential property as I will be moving with my only son Moussalli Dafa al-Turabi (junoir) in over there as soon as every thing regarding
technical and logictics details is worked out and ascertained to ourrespective satisfaction.

In view of your participation,I am ready to give you a good negotiable
percentage for your assistance,or better still commit it into viable
Joint venture projects with you .Be assured that you stand no risk of any
kind as the funds belong to me and my only survived son Moussalli Dafa
al-Turabi (junoir).As soon as I get your consent, we will quickly move
this fund to your country for investment.
However, upon your acceptance to work as my partner, you can contact me
with my private e-mail for more details.I strongly believe that
associating with you to embark on this and other business ventures will
derive a huge success here after, please include you private contact
telephone number and private e-mail when you replying to me.
