Subject: STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL PLS
Dear,
My name is Fathuma zuma, i am (23) but age doesn't matter in a real relationship,so i am confortable with your contact,I am from Rwanda,in east Africa,5.4ft tall, fair in complexion single, presently i am residing herein Dakar as a result of the civil war that was fought in my country some years ago.
My late father Dr Nicholas Zuma was a great politician and the managing director of a Gold & Mine Industries Plc with branches in South Africa,Ghana and Kigali (the capital of Rwanda my country) before the rebels attacked our house one early morning and killed my mother and my father in cold blood.
I was very lucky to escape and I managed to make my way to one of the most peaceful country in Africa (Senegal) where i am living now as a refugee under a Revrend father's care and i am using his computer to send these message to you.
In this camp we are only allowed to go out from the camp only on mondays and fridays of the weeks.Its just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace i will come out here soon.
I don't have any relatives now whom i can go to all my relations ran away in the middle of the war the only person i have now is Rev Fred Paulson who is the pastor of the (Christ for all Churches) 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 living in the women's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women.
The Pastors Tel number is 002213918229, if you call and tell him that you want to speak with me he will send for me in the hostel.
As a refugee here i don't have any right or privilledge to any thing be it money or whatever until i gains my freedom because it is against the law of this country.I want to go back to my studies because i only attended my first year as a law student before the traggic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.
Please listen to this (please it's a secret,even the Revrend don't know about it),i have my late father's statement of account and his death certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a bank in Europe which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $3,500 (Three Million five Hundred Thousand USD).
So, i will like you to help me transfer this money to your account in your country 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 the people in the camp here even the reverend father don't know about it),because i am afraid to loose this money if they gets to know about it.
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 despite the short period of time we have had contacts,i want you to know that before i contacted you for this i read your profile over and over again and i also took your contact to pray and fast and after that i was made to understand that you are the right man that will always be there for me.
I like honest and understanding people,truthful and men of vision,truth and hardworking.My favourite language is english and i speaks and writes it very fluently.Attached here is my other picture from my heart to you!
Meanwhile i will like you to call me through the (Guardian Rev) number
002213918229and tell him that you will like to speak to me please, like i said i have alot to discuss with you but there are people watching me here and i can't explain all in this mail until you call me please.
Have a nice day and try to call me so we can hear eachother's voice.
Awaiting to hear from you soonest
