>                     Hello,
>          Thanks for your letter,first let me say compliment of the season to you. Sometimes, life certainly can feel that way  and what better shelter from the storms and trials of daily life than friendship and to know that there is someone out there you can fall back on. Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you know that every moment they will affect your life in some profound way.And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. illness, injury, love, lost moments of   true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your
soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved,
straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless-the people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. So if you're seriously looking for a friend to get to know,You have found me. I am glad to meet you too. Like as I have already informed you in my previous letter about my job.I am Living alone at my own apartment given to me by my father. I am the First child of my parents. My parent have three children, two girls and a boy by name Ken as the Last child, Jenet is second to me .The name of my father's is Gabriel Kelly and my mother's name is Julia Kelly .My father is an ex- diplomat to the United Nations while my mother is one of the   senior personal of US department of education New york. I am single and haven,t marry once. My hobbies are reading,watching movies, listening to
soft musics, long driving, swiming and travelling.I hate delay, that is
slugglishness and procrastinating, I hate lies. I love some one who is trustworthy and does not smoke nor drink.I love nature and sometimes I wish I owened a house in the country not far from a city.You wake up to fresh mountain air,gaze the green senery,see green veges growing in your little garden and so much more. Kind of boring right? No, imagine I am with my sweetheart in those quite surroundings.well,I leave it to your own imagination what will hapen Some times I am always busy with the job activities during the Refugee resettlement program.I have travelled to many countries arround the globe in our course of visiting some refugee camps in
other countries .I will be attending a combined conference in Africa by April 2007. The conference is scheduled to   hold in US first and follow by the one in Africa. I am one of the organisers of the forth coming youth combined conferences taking place in the US from April 16th- 20th  and in Guine-Bissau,West Africa from 23rd-27th of April,2007.  We are inviting five delegates from each of the selected countries arround the world. In our request to invite youths from the selected countries, I went in search of e-mail on the website as a means of contacting youths and organisations in these countries . I picked your e-mail from a penpal website. You will assist us in relating to one of the existing youths organisation in your country to contact the conference secretariat in the US through this fax +01-419-593-8078. or through this e-mail, yworeg2003@yahoo.com  But before they could be considered for participation in this most esteemed event, their organisation will have to forward to the above address the following requirement. 1) The organisation profile 2) The Aims and Objectives of  the organisation 3) Their achievements so far. With this information put into consideration by the organising committee , They will be officially invited to participate in this .Our independent donor will take care of all their flight tickets and their accommodation throught their stay in the US and the organising committee will process the US visa for all participants requiring entry visas to the US . Participants will only take care of their
accommodation during the other event in Guine-Bissau. As one of the organisers I knew not of anybody from your country. Hence my writing to you is to gain assess to any youth organisation in your country. If you are interested to participate and wants to represent your country, you should contact the secretary to the organiser for detail information on registration procedures and inform the organiser that I recommended you.You will need not to forward the above requirement for your group or organisation , hence I will give your  recommedation to the secretary.You are to contact the organiser as soon as possible as all participants visa request will be forwarded to the US Bureau of Immigrant Affairs for Authorisation the same. Any group visa request not forwarded on that same day will miss the the visa assistance. I am looking forward to seeing you. Please download for my photograph attached to this e-mail.

Thanks, Flora Kelly.

This is all fake. The organization, ICOCA, is fake. The hotels are fake. The conferences are fake. Keep away from the criminals behind this scam.
