Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

So please dear one, with this indication of interest in me, i will like to be reading from you each an every day cos i'm actually looking for one who throughlly knows the real meaning of love as trust and faith in each other rather than one who sees love as only a way of fun.Besides to tell you a little about myself, i'm  Margrett Apia by name but friends called me Meg, from Ivory Coast in West Africa
Presently i am residing in the refugee camp here in Dakar Senegal
as a result of the civil war going on in my country.

by country, Senegal where i am living now.Please I will  like to know more about you. Your likes and dislikes and what you are doing presently.I have alot to tell you more about myself in my next mail. Attached here is my picture.

Hello Dearest,
I'm more than happy to write this mail today.
How are you today? hope fine.?.
Mine is a little bit cool today over here in Dakar Senegal, like i ealier stated before to tell you more about myself, my dear In this refugee we are only allowed to go out two times in a week.Its just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace i will come out here soon.
 
i don't have any relatives now whom i can go to all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person i have now is Rev.ISAAC  MBA  who is the pastor of the (Christ for all Churches) here in the refugee, 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 refugee have two hostels one for men the other for women.
 
The Pastors Tel number is (+221-449-81-46) 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 traggic 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 refugee here the only person that knows about it is the Revrend 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 hardworking.
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 alot to tell you.Have a nice day and think about me.
Awaiting to hear from you.
Yours Margrett Apia
