Subject: HELLO FROM PAULA LITANA
My Dearest, Good...day 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. 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 Yusuf kiki 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
has two hostels one for men the other for women. Here is Rev Paul Tel
number is (00221 6793388) 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 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 traggic incident that lead to my
being in this situation now took place. Please listen to this,i have my
late father's 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
leading bank in senegal which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount>
in question is $900.000 ( Nine 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 Revrend 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 someone of vision,truth and hardworking. Meanwhile i
will like you to call me like i said i have alot to tell you Have a nice
day and think about me. Awaiting to hear from you soonest Yours Forever,
