Dear love ,
I am more than happy in your reply to my mail. how is your day ; Mine is a little bit hot over here in Dakar Senegal. my condition here is terrible It's just like one staying in the prison but i hope by Gods grace i will come out here soon . i don't have any relative now whom i can go to all our relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person i have now is Reverend Pastor VICTOR JONA.who is the pastor of the (CITY OF FAITH 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 leaving in the women's hostel because here we have two hostels one for men the other for women.The Pastors Tel number is (+221 771484092) if you call,tell him that you want to speak with me he will send for me in the hostel.
to come and anwser your call. I don't have any right or priviledge 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.

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 was alive he deposited some amount of money in one of a leading bank which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $4.123millon us 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 here the only person that knows about it is the Revrend because he is like a father to me, 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 i speak english very fluently . Meanwhile i will like you to call me like i said i have alot to tell you,have a nice day and think about me. I'm waiting to hear from you soonest with love and trust yours in love kiss Christphen

The story ended when I googled "Dona Oko" the supposed father and found the same emails "she" sent me with different names, email addresses and photos. I then called the "pastor" and he pretended to know nothing about the matter.
