Hello
Compliments of the season to you and your family.I have decided to contact =
you urgently because of the urgency of my situation here in the refugee=
camp. My Name is Miss. Nancy Vaye 23 years old and from Liberia, in the =
western part of Africa, My late Father -Issac Nuhan Vaye, was the Deputy =
Minister of Public Works in Charles Taylor's government. He was falsely a=
ccused of plotting to remove the then (PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA- CHARLES TAYL=
OR) from office.
Without trial,Charles Taylor killed him. Though, I do not know to what exte=
nt you are familiar with events and fragile political situation in Liberi=
a as at that time. But it formed consistent headlines in the CNN, BBCnews=
bulletins.You can verify this from some of the international newspapers =
posted in the web sites below:
(I) http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm
(ii) http://www.unwire.org/UNWire/20030716/449_66Infact ,
I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I,m receiving =
from my step mother. My Father had two wives before his demise. My mother=
was the second ,the first one couldn't raise him an issue after nine yea=
rs of their marriage that emerged in him the idea of getting a second wif=
e that happened to be my late mother.
After the marriage of my mother,the first wife turned hostile and aggressi=
ve till the extent that my father had to sent her packing and rented an a=
ppartment for her in the town. She came back with her things after the ne=
ws of my parents death.
She has been more or less hostile to me and want to deny me of all my fathe=
r's assets. I am just like being in a wicked circle that nothing in the h=
ouse pleases me. Meanwhile, I wanted to escape to Europe but she hide aw=
ay my international passport and other valuable
travelling documents.
Luckily she did not discover where I kept my father's File which contains =
important documents. So I decided to run to the refugee camp where I am p=
resently seeking asylum under the United Nations High Commission for the =
Refugee here in Dakar, Republic of Senegal.Due to my inability and lack o=
f resources ,I decided to contact you for a help please ,I will be very g=
lad if you should consider to help me please.
My father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$10, 700, 000.00 in a Ba=
nk here in Senegal with my name as the next of kin. When I came to Senega=
l, I went to the bank where my father deposited the money so that I can w=
ithdraw some money as the next of kin to the account and start a new life=
. unfortunately, I did not know that my father signed an agreement with t=
he bank that the money should not be released directly to me if not marri=
ed or upto 30years. The agreement states that I should appoint a trustee/=
investor any time I want to take the money from the bank before I am 30 y=
ears. I understand that the investor is to invest and manage the money fo=
r me in a good business.
So the bank people advised me that since I am not yet 30 years and not marr=
ied, I should look for someone to stand for me for claims in accordance w=
ith their agreement with my
late father. This is why I contacted you. Secondly, I like your country an=
d I want to live there and continue my education as i was in my 1st year =
in th university, when the crisis started and death of my parents. It is =
my intention to compensate you with 30% of the total money for your servi=
ces and the balance shall be my investment capital.
This is the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all communications =
should be through this email address only for confidential purposes. As s=
oon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put =
things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall apprec=
iate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle =
this transaction sincerely.
You can not call me on phone because I have no phone here but if you will l=
ike to speak to me on phone I will give you phone number of the Rev-fathe=
r at the camp because I
told him a little bit about my condition. When you call, tell him you want=
to speak to Nancy Vaye, the Liberian girl He will call me because he kno=
ws that I am staying in the female Hostel Room 74.
Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Please do keep this only to you=
rself. Please I beg you not to disclose these details till I come over, o=
nce the fund has been transfered to your account.
Yours Sincerely,
Miss Nancy
