Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus!
 
I am Mrs. Rebecca Garang the widow of late Dr. John Garang who was until his death the vice president of Sudan in Africa. In brief, my late husband was a strong opposition to the incumbent government and for over 22yrs he indefatigably fought for the independence and liberation of the marginalized South Sudan people until he was appointed the vice president on the 9th of July 2005 following the cease fire agreement that was signed on the 9th of January 2005. His appointment was largely
welcomed by the International Community and was seen as an avenue to quench the decades of civil war in Sudan.

He died on the 31st of July 2005 following a helicopter crash alongside with 12 others just 22days after his appointment as the vice president. What led to the helicopter crash is still unclear but I know that my husband was the target.
 
I want to confide and entrust to you a very important matter and do kindly request for your private telephone numbers to enable me contact you for more confidential explanations.
 
Yours sincerely

Mrs. Rebecca Garang
Juba South Sudan"

I’m sure your pal, Dubaya can give you my phone number, as well as a full accounting of every keystroke I’ve typed in the last decade? Go ask him for help, I mean, you seem pretty chummy with him, and he’s a real easy target for a SCAM, you stupid git.

And, why must your route your email through India and the Czech Republic if you live in South Sudan?

Gee, I didn’t know that Chevron Texaco used "Excite" as their email provider! But then again, after hearing the latest profit reports from the oil companies this morning, it doesn’t surprise me that they are "excited"…… With all the billions and billions they got in profits I think it is so nice of them to give me a million of it, seeing as that was about what I paid at my last fill up!
