Subject: GOODDAY TO YOU
My names are Obongae Nyama and I am currently in the UK. John Garang was
Vice president of my country [Sudan] before his recent death in a helicopter
crash which of course was mostly believed to be remotely caused by
Government because of the long drawn bitter civil war he waged against the
country.
I have held and saved discreet private funds deposits for him severally in
the last years and now since his burial was formally concluded, may his soul
rest in peace, the hierarchy of his closest friends and associates have been
desperately inquiring about the records of his previous dealings with me. I
have suffered for him and the greed that will be exhibited by the Sudan
People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) will be much.
I want to be able to take out effectively some huge amount of money for the
welfare of me and my family. What the man has secretly in terms of wealth is
amazing and the US$11,000,000.00 which I intend to take out legally will not
the least affect his private estate. I need to trust you completely on these
issues. The records of this if investigated and any monies found missing
without adequate paperwork coverage, could mean big trouble for me and my
life could be terminated as I am aware that the south may still be planning
to wage further war against government.
Please, I am prepared to give you as much as 25% of the money if you decide
to help me channel this funds away with adequate records. I have put all
situations under control and I will explain more to you once I receive your
positive response. Do keep this confidential.
If you decide not to assist or help me in this, quietly delete this message.

Thank you in anticipation of your assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Nyama
