Subject: from...the wife of Lieutenant Colonel John Garang
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for finding time to go through my mail.
I am Mrs. Fatima Hinga, the wife of Lieutenant
Colonel John Garang Hinga the Leader of Sudanese
People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) one of the
leading political parties in Sudan which was formed in
1983. He died during the out brake of the recent civil
war in Sudan. Before his death, he held many important
offices which includes being the prime minister in a
coalition government between 1986 to 1989. He also
was the leader of the Umma Party a strong political
organization in Sudan. After his tenure as coalition
prime minister, he was made to be in-charge of the
payment of Sudanese Media communications
department in 2001. My husband was killed by a
group known as Sadiq al Mahdi at the on set of the
civil war while fighting for the liberation of the
Sudanese people fromthehands of a dictatorship
government. I am 51 years old now and seriously ill
although I am now receiving treatment in a hospital
here in Thailand. During the period of our marriage we
were blessed with a male child by name Musa Hinga
who is also here taking care of me. After the death of
my husband, I inherited a huge amount of money
(25million US dollars) which my late husband
deposited with a Security Company in Thailand for
safe keeping. I now decided to contact you to assist
me and my son to claim this money from where it was
deposited and probably guide us in investing the fund
in a worthwhile flourishing business over there. I hereby
ask for your help and assistance. Although I am a
novice in business, I have an eye on rigid Properties.
Your advice on other areas of private sector will be
highly appreciated. I believe that you would be of great
help in guiding my son to a successful business
investment in your countryevenwhen I am gone.
I will appreciate if you will show interest in
collaborating with us, as this transaction will benefit
both of us on joint venture partnership. Furthermore
I am ready to give you a good negotiable percentage
cash reward for your assistance. Detailed information
on other proceedings will be made available to you
upon receiving your reply showing interest in
collaborating with us as I look forward to your urgent
reply.
Sincerely Yours
Fatima Hinga.
