Good Day,
How are you doing today, i hope you are doing fine. I hope and i know that this email that i am sending to you would bereaching you in good health? I want to tell you something very important, though i am not suppose to tell you
now because we just met but i know that you would be of good help to me, but i think i need to tell you this, because i think you may be a nice person when i saw your
profile and email address at the www.4to40.com penpal site, i felt you are a nice and caring person. And i think i can trust you in this too,this is why i am telling you this. All i want you to do is to keep this as a top secret
between us. and also promise me that no other person will hear this ok. Right now am really going through hard and terriblelife with my mother.
Actually it happened when i lost my dad, my dad is dead and i am left with my mum. so after the death of my father,his family member came to the house and collected everything my dad leftbehind for us. and they ask me and my mum to leave the compound and theysold the house. We could not able to find them again because of the warthat happened in my country Liberia, so just last week
my mum show tome some documents which my dad use to deposit $3.5Million US dollars in bank here in dakar senegal and also a picture of my dad at the time of signthe agreement letter with the bank and he use my name as the next of kinto the funds. So when my mum show to me the documents, i was so happy soi travel to senegal with my mum. When we get to the bank and we presentedall the legal documents that was given to my father at the time of depositing the fund with the bank, we were told that the money is stillwith the bank, but they
cannot transfer the money to us here in Africa,because my dad went into an agreement with them at the time ofdepositing the fund that the fund should be transferred on expresstransfer to leave Africa. I never knew my dad was planning of opening a company abroad. so on our way out of the bank, one of the staff of the bank advice us to look for a trust worthy foreign partner to help
usreceive the funds from the bank. So i want you to help us contact the bank,so that the bank can transfer the money of my late father to you,so that i and my mum can come over to your country and meet you so weall can start a better
and happy life again.
Please, i want you to understand that I trust you and I know you can help me and myfamily because we are passing through hard moments here in dakar senegal, when people see me they don't know the conditionthat i am
undergoing due the reason that I don't want people to know the stress and pains we are passing here in senegal, and then we meet and live life to the fullest,and i feel we can be together if it is meant to be, that is why am telling you this top secret because am sacred and this is all we have left in this world. i believe you can understand my present situation.I trust you that is why I am
telling you this. as am writing you this mail, my eyes is full of tears because my mum isseriously sick and we don't know any body here in senegal. so we are living with an old lady called Mrs. bintu hammed, she is working as asecurity officer close to us, but she is very old and she will stop work very soon, so try your best and help me and my mum. We really need your help. Life is so hard
and terrible for me and my mum right now in senegal because we don't have any helper. i think I've truly been blessed by finding you and I 'll never let you go away from my life.my mum said that i should ask you that What percentage of the total amount inquestion will be good for you after you have receive the fund in your bank account.
Please try and get back to me as soon as possible so that i can send to you the legal documents that was given to my late father at the time of depositing the fund with the bank.
Please take care of your self, i hope to hear from you soon.
