Dear Friend,

I know that this will be a surprising message to youas we have not meet each other before. My name is Mr.Samuel Ouedraogo,from Burkina Faso.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, I have spent much money through my only uncle claiming that he want to help my critical IL-health condition while using my money for himself.He has even bribed the doctor to tell me that I have only about a few months to live to seeing if i have another money to bring out for him to take of which he can still bribe to kill me.I was never generous, and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for and i did all this because of my inability to bear a child that is why my uncle want me dead so that he will take all my belongings as i have no brother nor sister.Because of my being impotent i adopted a female child as icannot born and i cannot live alone.I do not trust my the man any more to die here and live the little adopted girl straunded, as he seem not to be happy with me and her. He has sworded not to allow her live so that he can easily inbound all my belongings immediately i die. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly and i cannot do things myself any more i will like you to do me a favor and i don't want my uncle to know about this development till i live the country. I strongly believe that our God almighty can still change my IL-health condition.I need your urgent response so that we can make arrangement for me and my daughter to come over to meet you in your country for good treatment before anything happens to me here.I have a fixed deposit account which no one knows about and i saved this funds for the purpose of using it at my old age since i have no child before this adoption. I believe that with this funds you can change this my sickness by arranging a specialist for adequate treatment in your kind control their in your country because with God all things are possible.

God be with you.
Mr.Samuel Ouedraogo

Dear Friend,

I thank you for your reply over my mail to you.I don't want to die here out of ignorance and this poor girl will suffer.I want to come to your country then you can manage the situation as you have .I will like you to be a good one as i have told you my il-health condition.I have a fixed account which amounted at Nine Hundred and Twenty Thousand British Pounds Sterlling.I have begged the bank to release some money to me so that i can have something to take care of my sickness but the bank refused that the deposition is not up the fixed year unless they will minus their charge and release the whole funds to me at once.Please i don't want this whole funds to come to me because i don't want anybody to know about the funds expecially my uncle. I want you to furnish me with your name and address so that i can draft and send a letter to the bank for the release of the funds to you so that i can come over to your country in your kind control with my daughter for my medication.
