Dear sir.
Greetings in the name of God.I pray that you are in a perfect condition
of health.I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise considering
the fact that we don?t know each other,nevertheless I want to beg you to
treat this as confidential between the two of us.
Before I continue,let me introduce myself,my names are EVANS UYI.I am the
eldest and only surviving son of CHIEF ENG.VICTOR UYI. A former group managing
director of the Sudanese petroleum commission (SPC) and also chairman and
CEO of UYI and sons holdings ,an import and export agency in Sudan.
Sometime late last year the zagawa Arabs from the north started an ethnic
cleansing crusade against the black population in Sudan. Their key target
been black politicians who they said were occupying major political positions
in the Sudanese cabinet.many prominent black Sudanese politicians were assassinated
and the lucky few were able to flee abroad to escape wrath of the rebels:the
janjaweed militia,the Sudanese liberation party (S.L.P) and the justice
and equality movement(J.E.M)linked to senior Sudanese opposition politician
Hassan Al-Turabi.The activities of these organization has lead to the death
of hundreds of thousands of black Sudanese .
On the 13th of may 2004 while returning to Khartoum from a political meeting
near Darfur my father?s vehicle was ambushed by the Janjaweed militia
and he was brutally murdered along with my younger sister.Luckily I and
my mother was not in the company.
Prior to his death my father had told us about the money he deposited in
a security company in Ghana,this amounted to the tune of $45m US dollars,all
relevant documents concerning the money are with us.
We fled to Ghana where we are presently living.we are currently staying
at a missionary Home,with a kind Rev.Sister .
It is unsafe to invest here in Africa due to the unstable economic and political
instability plaguing African countries at the moment. I will like to emigrate
with my mother to your country and we need your assistance.I want you to
help me receive my funds when it gets to your country and also to seek your
expert advice on a profitable venture to invest in your country.We are willing
to give you 25% of the funds for your assistance.
Please furnish me with information about yourself such as: phone/fax number
current residential address and also a copy of the front page of your passport.
Please endeavor to help because we are looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
EVANS UYI
for the family.
