Subject: Hello Dearest
Hello Darest ,
how are you today, l hope you are fine. My day is very boring over here in Dakar Senegal. ln this camp we find it hard to go out because we are not allowed to do so, its just like one staying in the prison and l hope by God's grace l will come out here soon. I don't have any relatives now that i can go to or call my own which is the special reason why i have contacted you, all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war, the only person i have now is Rev.Simon Dickson who is the Reverend pastor of the (Christ the king of Churches) here in the camp he has been very good to me since l came here but l am not living with him rather l am living in the women's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women. The Pastor's Tel number is (00221-497-80-26) if you call, 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 privilege 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 tragic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place. Honey, please l would like you to know that l have my late father's statement of account and death certificate here with me which l will forward to you when you started contacting the bank and your seriousness of helping me out.
Because when my late father was alive, he deposited some amount of money in one of the leading bank which he used my name as the next of kin. The amount in question is $3.7(Three Million seven hundred US Dollars).
So l will like you to assist me and stand as the nest of kins and as well foreign partner and transfer this money to your account and from it you will send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you. I can't withdraw this money my self due to my refugee statues here in this country which does not permit me to do so.
The special reason why i decided to make contact with you is that, i want this money to be transfered to europe because you know i can not get back to my country due to the way my late father was killed and the money in question is much, if my country people know any thing about it will be called back ok.I made this secret within me until this money is fininally transfered in your foreign account and me joining you over there to start having a good live with you my love.
I have got in touch with this bank through mail and made them to know about my plan of withdraw this money, l also got them aware of the death of my father and they have acknowledged it with all their confirmation. However,they advised me to get in touch with a very responsible person who will stand on my behalf and my trustee as regards to this money since l am presently of refugee status over here and wouldn't be permitted to handle this amount of money, they also let me know about the bond which they signed with my father that they money will be handled to me in bulk amount which means that l should decide on if l should continue with the bank or not.
Upon your acceptance to help me , i will like to have the following imformations from you so that i will know whom i am dealing with and as well use the following imformations to write the bank to deal with you as my foreign partner and the bank will know you better ok.
1 Your full names and country name
2 Your phone and fax number
3 Your working place and position in the office
4 Your age and passport number
Once i get this useful imformations,i shall forward you the full contact of the bank with love and trust believing that you will never let me dawn. Once you started contacting the bank, i shall start making preparations of joining you over there ok. Have a nice time and think about me. This is the email address of the Reverend simondickson88@myway.com. <http://mail.yahoo.com/config/login?/ym/Compose?To=simondickson88@myway.com.> You can call me on phone between 3pm GMT in Africa, i will be at the Rev fathers office to receive your call ok.
Once i hear from you again, i shall tell you more on how you will be acting on my behalf ok.Take care and God bless.
Yours in love.
Miss quincy
