JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.

DEAR SIR/ MADAM,
[STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL]
This letter may come as a surprise, but be assured it is in good faith from a family in need. I am MR. ALAN MABIOR GARANG,the eldest son of the late vice president of SUDAN, DR. JOHN GARANG, who happens to be the former rebel leader of THE SUDAN PEOPLE LIBERATION MOVEMENT(SPLM), who died on Saturday 30th of July 2005 on a sabotaged helicopter crash just three weeks after his inauguration on the 9th of July 2005 at our capital (KHARTOUM) may his gentle soul rest in peace.
I got your contact through SOUTHERN AFRICAN BUSINESS NETWORK though I did not disclose the nature of the business to them during the process of searching for a reliable partner/ company that can assist my family in transferring the sum of US$18.5 Million (Eighteen Million five hundred United States Dollars) into your company or private account for safekeeping hence i decided to write you.
Originally, this money was mapped out to procure Arms and ammunitions for the SPLM military wing and my husband was solely in charge of organizing this purchase. Unfortunately, as the news of the peace agreement reached my husband while he was still in South Africa to make the Arms procurement, he used this opportunity to divert this money for our family future uses, he was fortunate to be in the republic of South Africa when the news came and he deposited the consignment (CASH) as family valuable (for Security Reasons) in a sealed metal box containing the fund with a Security Company in South Africa.
After depositing the money, he came back and notify me and my mother about the money and handed over the documents to us before he was inaugurated along with other top SPLM officials, the cabinet of the Incumbent president, OMAR AL BASHIR has denied any Government involvement in masterminding the death of my father.
As a family, we have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum of the money for your assistance, 5% has been mapped out for both international and local expenses that will be incurred by both of us in the course of this transfer and the remaining 75% will be for my family investment in your country through your advice.
You have to understand that the continuous existence of my family depends on this fund that is why I have taken the responsibility of making this initial contact for my family. Therefore on acceptance of this proposal, you can contact me via my telephone number above as we are currently residing in South Africa as political asylum seekers.Feel free to ask any question you consider necessary for more details on this transaction.
Every plan concerning this transaction has been completed. I am assuring you that this transaction is risk free but requires trust and confidentiality. Bye for now and God bless.
Yours Faithfuly,
MR. ALAN GARANG
(For the family)
