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.
In this camp we are only allowed to go out 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.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 Dickson Abel who is the pastor of the (Christ The KingChurch) 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 men's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for woman the other for men.
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 statement of account and death certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,because when he wa alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $8.6M(Eight Million Six 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,truth and hard working.
Have a nice day and think about me.
Awaiting to hear from you soonest
Yours Forever Akoul
