My Dear,
How was your day? I believe it was fine.
I want to explain myself in a humble manner, I am Miss mirrian jackson 24 years old girl from Liberia, daughter to late Dr.Paul jackson a once minister and also a politician in Liberia, who was later killed during the problem in Liberia with my only brother and render many homes homeless, because after the death of my father my uncle later surceeded by poison my belove mother where she was trying to secure my late father properties, which he later snatched from me under treathning. Now there is nothing i can do than to run for my life, which is very important to me, now i am in dakar senegal under Refugee, It's just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace i will come out here soon. i don't have any relatives now whom i can go to all our relatives ran away in the middle of the war i am in critical condition, to compare with senegal where things are very hard, i can not decide to join prostitution, is over my dead body. As a
refugee here i don't have any right or privilledge to anything 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, i have my late father's statement of account and death certificate here with me which i will send to you latter which i know that God will use you to save me in this situation, because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in finance and security company which he used my name as the next of kin, the amount in question is $5.9(Five Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars) because my father loves me very much that was why he gave me every information about that money. Now i have called the company and they told me that unless i have some body who will represent me with all the documents that is required, that they are not going to release the money, 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 here. 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 a man of vision,truth and hardworking. My favourite language is english but our language is french but i speak english very fluently , Feel free to reply so you can go for it' and transfer it into your account' then it will be for us instead been in the finance and security company. Have a nice day and think about me.
Awaiting to hear from you soonest
