Dear Sir,
I feel very sorry to interrupt your peace since you
are not expecting to receive any mail from .However,I
was obliged to do so due to the importance and urgency
of the massage.I crave your indulgence,and want to
reassure you that I mean well and that it is only for
our mutual good.So please do not be embbarrassed or
suspicious.
I am Mr. Garuba Aliuu. I got to know you courtesy of
international business bureau here in (
Thailand)Sequel to my zeal towards foreign investment
and also security for my life and my possession, I
therefore write to give you a Breakdown of this
proposal .
I was the personal confidant to the first
vice-president, Dr John Garang of Southern Sudan whose
death was a deep sadness by popular demand of
the citizens of Southern Sudan's as a result of
helicoptercrash.Dr. Garang's demise is a tragedy of
enormous proportions. His death is a huge loss not
only to the people of Sudan but to the people of
Eastern Africa and the continent as a whole.
I will be 38years this year and out of this years,
16 years was spent in the bush fighting as a
Guerilla. All these years my total devotion was to
the late Vice president.Eventually we succeeded in
over- running Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement/Army
(SPLM/A). I was handsomely rewarded with the
position of personal confidant of the president.
Aside being his Chief Security officer, was also
charged with the responsibility of ensuring steady
purchase and supply of arms from North Korea.
A week before the death of the Vice president I was
in North Korea with a total sum of US$39 million
dollars cash(Thirty Nine Million US Dollars) which
was brought in through a diplomatic means.This money
was to effect the payment of shipment of long-range
anti-tanker launchers to my country before I learnt
ofthe sudden death of the Vice president. My initial
reaction was to deposit this money with a Security
Company in North Korea,due to security reasons i
diverted the treasure containing the fund to
Thailand through a diplomatic means.
On arrival here I immediately deposited the treasure
into a Private Security /finance company for safe
keeping although the Security Company and the
diplomat who assisted me to Thailand is unaware of
the contents as they were deposited as privileged
consignments.
Right now, I am seeking for a partner who shall
serve as the guardian/overseer of this fund with
whom I can plan the best way to move this money for
investment purposes, which is my motive for
contacting you.To be able to actualize this project,
you are required to assist in the following manners.
(1) That you shall serve as the general overseer and
guardian of this fund and all investment thereafter.
(2) To assist in providing me and my immediate
family permanentresidential permit in your country
after the money must have been transferred to your
account.
For these services, a suitable percentage (%) will
be mapped out for you after you have shown your
willingness to assist, and most importantly all
expenses involved in this transaction will be taken
care of when the money have been safely transferred
to your designated account.
In addition , there would be a face to face meeting
here in Bangkok Thailand for further discussions and
to consummate the transaction at once. I will give
you all the details in my next mail when you have
indicated your interest and commitment to work with
me.
Always remember that this is the highest confidence
and trust any person can repose on the other,
especially when it is considered that we did not
know ourselves before. I hope you will honor me too.
NOTE: I know there may be scams and junk mails
flying here and there on the internet but certainly,
this is not one of them.
Now I urgeyou to take this message seriously and
with an open mind, with good faith and trust. Join
me and I am assuring you now that you will never be
disappointed. I expect to receive your response
soonest I do not intend to have this transaction
delayed. Please treat this as highly confidential by
keeping it only with yourself.
I look forward to your urgent co-operation.
