Thanks you very much fore getting back to me i am really happy reading your email, I do hope that you have a wonderful sleep last night and that you dreamt wonderfully about us hehehehe you laugh.Well,i must thank you first and foremost for getting back to me at all.
Thanks very very much for reaching me at all and for the energy you used to reply my letter to you.
I would rather say that you are such a gentleman and matured man in deed.I believe that you and your family spent the day peacefully i pray.
I have the feeling that this piece of mail will reach you in a perfect state of mind and in a better healthy condition.I believe and also have the feeling that in todays world, neither race, nationality nor religion will any longer be a barrier to male/female friendship nor relationships.
Although, we do not know each other well, but I will really like to have you as a friend or pen pal first if that is better for you,maybe as time goes on we can become more than friends and business partner. I am a single lady of 24years old,i am 175cm tall and 60kg in weight,black hair,brown eyes and Sierra leone by Nationality,currently i am staying here in Senegal at the Cathedral Catholic Church.
Early in January 1999, the rebels in my country killed my parents... and my brother has been taken hostage. Till now am not able to know if he is still alive or not, my late father Dr Koromah Johnson, being the Managing Director of the Port of Freetown is a a prime target to kill.
I discovered a document indicating that my late Father had deposited some $1.500.000 United States Dollars (1.500.000 US dollars) with one of the country security agency in Europe. I try to locate the concerned security company. to make claims for the said money.
I have decided to contact you to seek your assistance in helping me to retrieved it out from the agency in Europe and transfer it to an account. Let me know what you want as compensation.
I am too young to handle this kind money. i have to search for a foreigner whom will stand on my behalf for the claim.
Do you cares to make me be your daughter then all will be a benefit between both of us and i consent want anything betray because we shall legalize everything with the lawyer .
Thank you again for your kindness with me and God will also help you for trying to help an orphan like me. Thank you beloved and God bless.
I remain your sincerely,
Vicky Johnson.
