Subject: WITH LOVE AND TRUST THIS IS MY FULL LIFE STORY
Hello My Dear,
Am very very happy to read from you once again,how are you today? l hope you are fine,as for me,my day is very boring over here Refugee camp in Dakar Senegal,
In this camp we find it very 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 from here soon.
i hope you like the beautiful
flower i sent to you,i don't have internet in the camp rather am
written to you from the rev computer in his office.
I know is
too early to tell you this,but after reading your mail i have a great
trust in you and i think that i have to open up to you so that you will
help me because an really suffering over here in the camp,And now i
don't have any relatives that i can go to, all my relatives ran away
in the middle of the war,the only person i have now is (REV. THOMAS
FREAD) who is the Reverend pastor of the (Christ The King Church) here
in the camp he has been very good to me since l came to this camp, but
meanwhile, l am not living with him rather l live in the woman's
hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for
women. The Pastor Telephone number
is (+221-771-099-880) if you call, tell him that you want to speak with
Esther Evans Goma, he will send for me in the hostel to come and answer
your call.
As a refugee, i don't have any right or privilege to any
thing pertaining 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. dear please l would like you to know that i
trust you,that is why i want to tell you this, that i have my late
father's statement of account and death certificate here with me which
l will like to send to you to assist me,because when my late father was
alive he deposited some amount of money in the Bank which he used my name as the next of kin. The amount in question is $3.8m(Three Million, eight Hundred Thousand US Dollars).
So
i will like you to assist me 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 the
money my self due to my refugee statues here in this country which does
not permit me to, rather the money can't be transferred in Senegal
where i am in refugee statues.
I have got in touch with the bank
and made them to know about my plans to withdraw this money, l also got
them aware of the death of my father and they have acknowledged it with
all there confirmation. However, they advise 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 the 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.
I
just have to let you know about this so that you can assist me to be my
trustee on this money. like l said l want you to call me because l have
allot to tell you.l kept this secret to people in the camp here the
only person that knows about it is the Reverend Farther because he is
like a father to me,but he don't know that i have the documents i told
you that it is secret, 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 some one with
vision,as for me age is nothing but a number if you must know,and i
know why i chooses somebody at your age,
My favorite language is
English but our language is French but i speak English very
fluently.Meanwhile i will like you to call me like i said i have a lot
to tell you.Have a nice day and think about me.
Am waiting to hear from you soonest,
>From yours
Miss Esther Evans Goma
