Dear Friend
My greetings to you. I am Paschal Welsh, I represent Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior, wife of John Garang the late vice president of Sudan and erstwhile leader of Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) who died on the 30th of July 2005 in a helicopter crash in southern Sudan, near the border with northeast Uganda. I am contacting you with the hope that you can be of great assistance to this family.
The late John Garang was born in 1945 into the Southern Dinka group. His family was Christian and he went on to study in the United States. He studied at Grinnell College, Iowa, USA and earned a PhD in Agricultural Economics. He later returned to the USA for military training at Fort Benning, Georgia. He led the Sudan People's Liberation Army, which fought one of Africa's longest-running wars for 22 years between the Christian and animist South and the Muslim, Arab-speaking North. The war officially ended and John Garang was appointed first vice-president - a position he held for only three weeks before he was killed in a helicopter crash. His inauguration July 9 2005 was seen as a key to bringing peace to Sudan and as a chance to resolve other bloody conflicts in Sudan, including the humanitarian crisis in the western region of Darfur. He was a key figure in the country's fledgling peace deal and one of the few senior southerners who really believed in the concept of a unit!
ed Sudan.
Since his death, the family has been losing a lot of money due to vindictive government officials who are bent on dealing with the family. Based on this therefore, his wife has asked me to seek for a foreign partner who can work with us as to move out the total sum of US$27,000,000.00 (Twenty Seven Million United States Dollars), presently in their
possession. The money is kept in the vault of a Security firm in Europe. This money was given secretly to the late John Garang before the peace deal was brokered by the Malaysian oil Company exploiting oil in upper Nile Region of South Sudan in return for SPLA not to destroy its oil operations. Since this money is still in cash, extra security measures have been taken to protect it from theft or seizure. He had secretly kept this money from aides as well as the President Omar al-Bashir led government whose long-term interest is not in the peace agreement but about keeping their access to money and power and the oil wealth in the South. The bid by some government officials to deal with this family has made it necessary that we seek your assistance in receiving this money and in investing it on behalf of the family. I have personally worked out all modalities for the peaceful conclusion of this transaction.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk-free. Therefore, if you accept we are willing to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 50% will be for the family's investment in your country while the balance 30% will be used to help the humanitarian problem in Southern Sudan by contributing the amount to the Red Cross and other Humanitarian agencies presently involved in Southern Sudan. This is what the late John Garang would have wanted.
Please you are required to treat this letter as very confidential as no other person knows about this money except myself, Rebecca de Mabior and your very self. In the event you are not interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard this email and respect our trust in you by not exposing this transaction.
Please reach me immediately through this email address sending to me your confidential telephone and fax number(s) so that I can reach you as soon as possible.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours truly,
Paschal Welsh Esq.
