Hello Dearest,

How are you today?

I believe you are doing fine, I am more than happy in your reply to my mail.
mine is a little bit hot over here in Dakar Senegal. Its just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace i will come out here soon.We don't have any relatives now whom we can go to all our relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person we have now is Rev. Luke Kamaga who is the pastor of the (Christ for all Churches) 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 the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women.

The Pastors Tel number is (+ 221-76-387-78-83) 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 because i only attended my first year before the incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.

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 a leading bank in Europe which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $9.7M(Nine Million seven Hundred Thousand 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 in the camp here the only person that knows about it is the Reverend because he is like a father to 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. 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 hard working.

My favourite 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 allot to tell you.

Have a nice day and think about me.

Please i am waiting to hear from you soonest
Yours Mirian

Of course I had upset the ‘Bank’

Dear Ms Lewis,
I read your email with some interest but disagree on one point.
"1.A power of attorney permitting you to claim and transfer the

funds to your bank account on her behalf.

This document must be endorsed by a Senegalese resident lawyer so that your partner will put her signature on it.

which she can help you to get one. "

It is for Miss Mirian Gukama to obtain such power of attorney since it is FROM her father's account that the money will be sent to me.
DS



20 November the ‘Bank’ doesn’t like me.

For your attention,

I have been directed by the director of Foreign Operation/Wire Transfer to write you in respect of your mail we received today to advice you not to send any other mail to our bank hence you dissagree with the instruction giving to you by the legal department of this bank to get the transfer done.

Should you have any question(s), please contact our foreign
transfer officer Mr. Leed Hanson for more
directives/clarifications on this telephone number

+447031832742 or +447031892913


Please note the phone numbers UK redirect numbers that can be received anywhere in the world and NOT LONDON UK

And Little Miriam is very worried now.


Darling please i want to know if you have receive a reply from the bank what did they reply you?please i want you to forward what the bank reply you to my box and if you have not receive a reply from the bank i will like you to contact them again both on phone and email so that they will know that we are very serious to transfer my father's money deposited in there bank honey am waiting to hear from you as soon as you receive a reply from the bank.
