- Dearest,my name is olivia mensah. How was your day? hope fine. Mine is a little bit cold over here in accra Ghana, In this camp we are only allowed to go out from the camp only on mondays and fridays of the weeks, It's just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace i will come out here soon and live at your country when you invite me to come over there for us to live as husband qnd wife.I don't have any relatives now whom i can go to because all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war, the only person i have now is ( REV. STEVE JOHNSON) 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 living in the women's hostel because the camp has two hostels, one for men the other for women.The Pastor's Tel number is ( +233242939808 ) 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 but not in ghana or sudan 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(it's a secret,even the Revrend don't know about it),i have my late father's FUND DEPOSIT CERTFICATE and his DEATH CERTIFICATE here with me which shall be used to claim the money from the safe hand,because when my late father was alive he deposited some amount of money in one of the leading safe keeping company in ghana which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $8.5 (eight. Million,Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars).So i will like you to help me claim this money to your country and from it you will send some money for me to get my travelling documents and air ticket to come over there to meet with you.I kept this secret to people in the camp here but t!
he only person that knows about it is the Revrend because he is like a
father to me,but he does not know that i have the FUND DEPOSIT/DEATH CERTIFICATES here with 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 and when i will be there with you.Remember i am giving you all this information bcouse i have prayed and fasted before contacting you.I like honest and understanding people,trustfull and one with vision,optimistic and hardworking, My favourite language is english because it is my country's general language.Meanwhile i will like you to call me like i said, so that i can hear your voice and you hear from me too.Have a nice day and think about me. Awaiting to hear you soonest,olivia,
