I am writing at this hour because of my status as a refugee in Dakar Senegal And I am an orphanage child, as a result of the assassination of my parents by rebel group which left me with no one except me that survived by the help of Red cross team that brought me to Senegal.

And my father was chairman managing director of Larry & Sons Industrial Company Ltd in the capital of my Country Rwanda Central Africa, before the rebels attacked our house one early morning and killed he with my mother in cold blood. He deposited 4.5 million us dollars in bank. and I have written to the bank to claim the money as the next of kin because of my deplorable condition in Senegal and the bank replied that due to my refugee status that I am not qualified to claim the money that I have to look for a reliable foreign partner to claim the funds by signing a check of the total sum in your names for me that is the only condition the bank gave me.

And now I want to know if you are honest and reliable because if I lose this money I will suffer all my life on earth and I will not finish my education any so be honest to me if you will betray me please tell me, and I want you to treat this with the absolute confidence and hold it to yourself without somebody knowing for my safety.

See their last email. She's asking for forgiveness and confess that has stolen my information and photo from her friend (Mercy John, the original topic of this post above) in order to stop ”our relationship”???? She/he confess that her name is Awa, not Favour. Or, is this just that even the scammers are following their status on the Internet. Name have changed from ”Mercy John” to ”Favour John” and the email from <[email protected]> to <[email protected]>. Photo and the first letter are 100% identical. Dating site is same but an another profile.
