authentic ation o f the p owe r of attor n ey a t the high court before
it becomes valid and 500 euros for notary stamping at the notary
republic My legal processing fee of 200 euros total (1680 euros)

He told me  that a sum total of 2040 us dollars  must be paid as
his charges before he will prepare the power of attorney for us.

should help me to pay the lawyer this money as you will get your money

Hello my sweet heart Becky:
How are you today? … I hope fine honey
Today I went to the bank for pay to the lawyer; this procedure will take a time to complete (see the message I send (cc)). But don’t worry honey every thing will be ok.

Honey: I am so sad now because your last message to me, when you talked about the money (with me).
I told you before: I will assist you just because I love you not for the money, I know the money its very important thing in the life but its not all the life, the money come and go… but the important thing is the love – the good person – the humanity (and I think you are agree with me about that because you are a good person from a good family).
Dear: if you want after a transfer your money… I can return it all to you, and then you can be able to go without me to any where because you will be a free person to do every thing you want… (My only wish to you is be happy always with me or without me).
My love: I challenge the impossible to be your man and to be your hero, and I am ready always to do any thing you want because I trust and love you (with you I am feel a deferent and lucky and special man). I said I love you just to you only, before I know your full story (you are a first woman I told her that). And I am waiting like you this day to be together and forever… I will take care of you more than my self, and I will guarantee your rightful rights completely because you will be my wife, so I will ask you dear: don’t let the money be a third person between us.
I become see you in every where I go…
When I see my face in the mirror I see you…
When I thing about you my heart work faster…
Every one sight me said: are you love some one?
My sweet heart: I am still on my promise to you… make you free soon.

You are more than a woman
You are my angel
You are my life
Don’t forget… keep your smiling, life is good.

My husband,
 How are you today?.I believe you are fine.
Honey iam sorry for writing you late today due to the power failure
here in the camp where iam living.
They brought the electricity before i rushed out to send you mails.
Please darling forgive me as i love you so much and i can't do without

My darling,

How was your night?.
I believe it was full of my dreams as i can't close my eyes without seeing
my love who loved and cared for me without minding my situation here
in the refugee camp.
Darling i appreciated all you are doing for me and i can't wait for that moment
to come when i will be sleeping side by side with the man of my life.

Honey you are such a caring man and i promise to love and cherish you
for the rest of my life and i assure you that you will never regreat helping
me as i will be there for you till the end of my life.
Darling all of my thoughts is about you and i miss you so much my love
and i thank you for all of the effort you are making to send the money

For Your Attention

Sir,

We humbly wish to confirm that the original copies of the two documents with the power of attorney has been recieved from Miss Becky Apia and confirmed to be very authentic by our legal department.

However we have started processing of the transfer of the US$9.7 million from the account of Dr Livia Apia waiting for your nominated account information,but unfortunately we found out that Dr Livia Apia's file did not contain the (ANTI-DRUG AND MONEY LAUNDRY CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE). It is a certificate to prove that this money is not a drug money or for sponsoring of terrorist,I will advice you to contact your partner(Becky)immediately in Africa to forward this certificate to you,so you can send it to our bank for immediate remittance of Dr Livia Apia's estate to your account informations. Meanwhile from all indications your partner should have the said certificate.

Bear it in mind that the fund will not be transferred until we recieve this certificate for yours,ours and the girls safety after the transfer as the banking system here in England demands.

Yours Faithfully
Mr Leed Hanson,
(Foreign/Wire Transfer Officer),

My dear  i have the antidrug clearance certificate but i dont know that the bank will need it before they make the transfer of my money to your account.
This certificate i left it inside a box i gave to one old woman in my village
to keep for me before i left my country to dakar.
 
I would like you to call Isaac Mba immediately  with this number +221-449-81-46 to see if he can allow one of his assistant pastors to go to my country to collect the certificate from the box i gave the old woman to keep for me.

MY LOVE,
 HOW WAS YOUR WEEK?.
I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE DOING WELL AS YOU WAIT FOR MY ARRIVAL TO MEET YOU FOR A WOUNDERFUL LIFE.

DARLING I HAPPY THAT YOU CALLED REV ISAAC MBA AND HE ACCEPTED TO ALLOW HIS PASTOR TO TRAVEL TO MY COUNTRY TO COLLECT THE CERTIFICATE BUT HE TOLD ME THAT WE HAVE TO CATER FOR THE EXPENSES.

 HE  SENT HIS ASSISTANT PASTOR TO THE TRAVELING AGENT THIS AFTERNOON TO FIND OUT THE COST AIR TICKET AND HOTEL ACCOMODATION BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE THE PASTOR ABOUT THREE DAYS TO GO AND COME BACK FROM MY VILLAGE.

WHEN THE ASSISTANT PASTOR CAME FROM THE TRAVELING AGENT HE TOLD HIM THAT IT WILL COST  920,000 CFA OUR LOCAL CURRENCY WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO 1850 US DOLLARS

PLEASE MY DARLING I WANT YOU TO  ASSIST ME IN SENDING  THIS MONEY   THROUGH ------------------------------- WITH THE NAME OF REV ISAAC MBA

 GOD BLESS YOU MY DARLING AS YOU HELP ME.

My darling,

How was your weekend?.
I believe it was okay.
Mine was full of fasting and prayers as i was asking
God to make away for you to have the money so that the certificate can be collected from my village for the bank to transfer my money to your position for our lovely meeting. 
My love iam more than happy with the news i recieved from you this morning and will inform Rev Isaac that you have informed your friend to send the money for you.

I dont know where to start thanking you my love and you have showed me that you cared about every thing that concerns me and i assure you that you will never regreat helping me darling as i will be there for you till the end of my life. 

My caring Husband,

I thank God that our meeting is very close so that we can show eachother how much we love ourselves as you have taken the whole of my heart.
 Honey your mail gives me joy and happiness each time i read it and i am looking towards meeting with you my darling.
My love you are such a caring man and i promise to love and cherish you through out my life as  you picked me from the dust bin without minding.

I can't stop thinking of you and your wounderful cares over me.
The assistant pastor will leave this night as he has bought his ticket to go to my country to collect the certificate and he is expected back on friday morning so that the certificate will be sent you and a copy  to the bank   for the transfer of my money to your account for a lovely liofe with you.

Honey iam just counting on days to be with you for a wounderful time.
My love i will like you to tell  me what you will do at the airport when you see me?.
Please tell me my husband.
I am waiting for your mail darling.
Have a wounderful day,

My love,

How are you today?.
I believe you are doing well.
Darling my day became sad when the assistant pastor came back this morning from Ivory Coast my country where he traveled to collect the certificate.
He told me that he got to  the womans house and they told him that the woman was killed i few months ago.
He tried to see if he can get the box with one of his surviving son but could not see the box because according to the son when the rebels killed his mother they ran away and their property was cated away by the rebels .
So the Revrend suggested that we contact the lawyer Barrister Dickson Ali in his office to know if he can get the certificate  from Senegal here probably today or next week for the bank to transfer the money immediately to your account.
We went to the lawyer's office and he agreed to get the certificate from the drug law agency here in Senegal,in this regard i will like you to please contact him through his phone number and or email for him to know our seriousness and be fast about it.
Incase if you have forgotten his email address here is it ones again.
Name:Dr Dickson Ali
Email:(dicksonalilawfirms@lawyer.com)
Please contact him immediately so he can leave whatever he is doing and go for the certificate immediately.

Dear Mr. DICKSON ALI:
I am Mr. ----------------- from --------, and I suppose you know me… when you help us, me and my partner Miss. BECKY APIA to got power of attorney from your office.
Mr. DICKSON: I want from you help us again to get anti-drug certificate from SENEGAL , because the RABO BANK OF LONDON told me in last message prepare this document, to complete transfer the money (because without this document the bank will not transfer the money to my bank account), and i suppose too Miss BECKY told you what is happened to the original copy .

AFTER SOME CALLS WITH HER AND WITH LAWYER:
