Subject: DEAR FRIEND.
Dear Friend,
I'm very sorry to send you this email because we have not met before,
but i dont have any option than to explain my situation, maybe you can help me.
Dont really bother much about how i got your contact, i just need you to help
me out of my present situation, because i'm dying silently of pains,
loneliness and agony. I cry silently all night alone in my room. Even if you
decide not to help me, please a friendly email, once in a while from you
can help my emotional situation and i'll really appreciate that.
Please do not try to misunderstand my situation because i do not need
you to help me with money or anything, i just need someone to talk to me
and extend some love, care and warmth to me, because it seems the
whole world is closing and falling upon my life. My name is Anne Sapulete,
i'm Indonesian, i'm 26 years old I am from a town called Ambon in Indonesia.
At present, there is fighting in my town between muslims and christians.
I lost my parents in this fighting, i'm the only child, now i'm alone and frustrated.
My father's wealth is all taken by his relations, they want to force
me into marriage with a man i dont like, so that they can achieve all their
selfish interest,i refused and they plot to kill me. They have seized all my
father's assets and taken all money he left for me before he died,
because they think i'm helpless.
I survived two different attempts for them to poison me, no one to help me.
So, i decided to run away to London, where i'm hiding now at the
moment. I live a life of fear and totally confused about my life and living
daily in pains and agony. I met a family here in London,
they are married, they have a little baby they took me in their homes.
I work as their nanny, they are nice to me, i must be honest, especially the wife,
but i'm facing a very big problem now because the husband wants to have
an affair with me. I cannot accept this, because its quite unjust and i take
this family as mine,i tried to explain to him to understand why i cannot have an
affair with him but he insists.Now, he tries to capitalize on my helplessness.
u j I cannot tell the wife because the marriage will be ruined.
He now sees me with so much hatred and i'm quite unhappy each day in
that house. I'm frustrated. But the assistance i need from you,
actually is because of the money my late father deposited for me in a
private security company in Jakarta-Indonesia, this money is $12,000,000 USD.
The money is lodged in cash in a consignment, but its deposited as
confidential files.Thats the only money left for me, that my wicked relatives
do not know about.
I want you to please help me claim this money, transfer it for me to your
country and then, i can move over there and establish and continue my life,
so that you can help me manage this fund for me. I have all the legal and
official papers of deposit with me and also security code and keys to the
consignment with me here in London. I just want to confide in you to help
me because now i do not have any more hope or close friend or
confidante to talk to about this. No one of my relatives know where i have run to,
i'm communicating with you in secret. Please i wait your reply to me, if you will help me.
Godbless you.
Note: After i know you, i shall give you a number to contact me here in London.
Thanks,
Miss Anne Sapulete.
