#3 Garang was flying back to Sudan from Uganda aboard the Ugandan presidential helicopter AF 605 Type MI-172 (VIP version) after meeting Museveni. The plane hit a rock and crashed owing to bad weather south of New Site on the Uganda-Sudan border, just after Kidepo National Park, on Saturday.

I don't know, isn't dying in a Russian built, African maintained and piloted helicopter being flown in bad weather through mountains considered "death by natural causes"?

#5 I just received this:

I am Dr. Clement Moore, a representative and Financial advicer to John Garang of SUDAN, whose untimely death occurred recently in a helicopter crash.

Neither him nor his wife who he used as his next Of kin are alive since the incident claimed the lives of the entire family,leaving no one alive to claim the sum of (?14,000,000.00), he left in his bank account with the ISLE OF MAN BANK UK.

I think y'all know how the rest of the letter goes. If anyone is interested, I can send him your eMail address.
