Subject: Greetings
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your quick response to my mail for
help,i thank you also for your kindness and concern
towards my situation. When i got your mail,i am happy
that at last GOD has anwsered my prayers.. My believe
is that your response to my mail for help is GOD's
answer to my prayer for many months now.i want you to
know that GOD is on our side and you will not regret
your decision to help me. I want you to know that I am
now seeing you as my guardian.
What I need from you is to take me as part of your
family. I am very optimistic and i know that so many
good things will come your way as you have decided to
help the orphan.
Meanwhile,i will also like you to assure me that you
will be honest with me and also give me your words of
assurance that you will not take the advantage that
the whole money will be comming to your account to
cheat me since I am putting all my trust on you. I
deposited all my trust in you till you confirmed this
money into your account.
Here is how i want you to help me after giving me the
necessary assurance,then i will move to the next step
which is the transfer proceses and i will like you to
get back to me immediately with your direct telephone
number including your picture so that i can try to
call you to hear your voice which will make me feel so
happly.
Meanwhile, I am sending my picture to you so as to
enable you see whom you are dealing with. I would want
you to please put a total commitment to this so that
everything will be concluded as quickly as possible so
that i can come over to be with you soonest and upon
your relpy i will give you the bank contact where my
late father deposited the money for you to contact
them to make inquiries how they are going to transfer
the money into your account.
Please,do not be angry or feel that i don't trust you,
but please try to understand the reason why i am
saying all this kind of things, this is because, this
money is the only thing my late father left for me and
it is my hope of survival in future. I have made
serveral contacts with the bank where the money is
deposited by my late father before i contacted you. My
dream is to
come to your country and further my education,i will
also like you to hasten up because i am tired of
staying in this country.
I await your urgent reply.
Thanks and God bless you.
Morren Ama
