Hi Yasir, Try the following reference:
A heuristic approach for the generation of multivariate random samples with specific marginal distributions and correlation matrix, Dimos C. Charmpis and Panayiota L. Panteli, Computational Statistics 19, 283-300, 2004. I have the R code, please let me know if you need it, I will more than happy to post it online. Nonetheless, soon I will create an add-on package. Rmvnorm assume a multivariate normal distribution, the method from above is flexible enough to mix marginals.

I've been looking at rmvnorm etc but don't seem to figure it out. Thanks ----- Yasir H.
