Dear,
Good morning to you and how are you getting on?.I do hope that you are
catching up with the goodies of the day in full.Mine here is very hot
and
like you know we are living in the refugee camp here in Dakar Senegal.
In this camp we are only allowed to go out only on Mondays and Friday's
of
the weeks. Its just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods
grace
i will come out here soon.We don't have any relatives now whom we can
go to
all our relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person we
have
now is Rev Godwin Alfred who is the pastor of the (Christ The King
Church)
here in the camp he has been very nice to me since i came here but i am
not
living with him rather i am leaving in the women's hostel because the
camp
have two hostels one for men the other for women.
As a refugee here i don't have any right or privilege to any thing be
it
money or whatever because it is against the law of this country.I want
to go
back to my studies because i only attended my first year before the
tragic
incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.Please
listen to this,i have my late father's statement of account and death
certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,because when
he was
alive he deposited some amount of money which he used my name as the
next of
kin,the amount in question is $3.5M(Three Million five Hundred
Thousand
Dollars).
So i will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and
from
it you can send some money for me to get my travelling documents and
air
ticket to come over to meet with you.I kept this secret to people in
the
camp here the only person that knows about it is the Reverend because
he is
like a father to me. So in the light of above i will like you to keep
it to
yourself and don't tell it to anyone for i am afraid of loosing my life
and
the money if people gets to know about it.
Remember i am giving you all this information due to the trust i
deposed on
you.I like honest and understanding people,truthful and a man of
vision,truth and hardworking. My favourite language is English but our
language is french but i speak English very fluently.Reply me this
email and
I will give further details.
telephone urgent as soon you recive the massage for more details and
