Dear Sir,
RE: CALL FOR FOREIGN ASSISTANCE AND PARTNERSHIP
My name is Mr. David Ugoh Jr, from Sudan, and the first son of Dr. David Ugoh. It might be a surprise to you as to how I got your contact; I got your contact from the South African Information Exchange (SAIE) in Pretoria.
During the current war against the rebels in Sudan, from the supporters of President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir, in his effort to chase the rebels out of the country, my father was a Cabinet Member of President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir's Administration, but he did not support some of his policies. Because of this, our house was invaded and burnt by Government supporters.
In the course of the attack, my father was killed, and the invaders made away with a lot of items from my father's Guest House, farm and other of our family house was totally destroyed. My mother almost passed away after a heart attack. Before the death of my father, he draw to my attention to the sum of US$16 MILLION (SIXTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY), which he had deposited with a private Security Company in South Africa during his tenure as the Presidential Adviser to the President of Sudan. My mother, my younger sister and myself decided to move to South Africa for our own security, for our lives were in danger.
However the content of the consignment were stored as important personal valuable by my father using his diplomatic immunity then as Presidential adviser. I decided to contact you (your firm) to assist my family and I in moving the money out of South Africa.
This became necessary after we were denied every right to run bank accounts or any other form of financial transaction for we are political asylum seekers in South Africa.
I want immediate confirmation of your interest by Telephone or E-mail and as soon as I get your response I shall give out more details on how we shall proceed and also will be in a position to give you details on the agreed sharing ratio. Kindly keep this proposal strictly confidential because of our present status here in South Africa.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Best regards,
Mr. David Ugoh Jr.
(For the family)
