Hello Dear,
Guess you are feeling great this special season of Chritmas Celebration? So what happened, i mean what went wrong that made you seized communicating with me , is't because you were unable to make the Employment Program?, or are we not friend anymore? . Hope nothing bad happened to you?.
Anyway I didn't forget you this festive season Cox it is a special time that friend’s supposed to remember each other in a special way, we shall break for the Christmas holiday by next week in our office. As i went shopping you just came in my mind and I decided to wish you a pleasant Festive Celebration by buying some presents for you.
I bought some gift for you and sent it via our auditor general of our organization Pastor Samuel Quatara, he went back to Africa to celebrate the Christmas holiday with his family and I gave him the package to deliver to you when he arrives there since you didn't supply me your postal address and I couldn't wait for you to do that now Cox i wanna be traveling to my home Town in Dovern soon to spend the holidays with grandma.
I believe where Pastor Samuel is residing might be closer to your country. Just contact him via ([email protected]) and discuss with him on how to receive the pack cox i asked him to post it to you through FedEX Post i guess it will not cost much on about the postage fee okay.
Please bear with me when you receives the package, I know it isn't much but I sent it from my innermost heart and believe you gonna appreciate everything inside the package Cox it is coming from a special friend and in a special season remembrance of the Brith of our Lord Jesus Christ the savior of the world.
The content of the pack are as follows.

Two laptop computer marked Dell, Two HI-phones marked Nokia, AN ENVELOPE, A Video Camera .
[/b]I packed everything in a medium carton and the pastor accepted to deliver it to you Cox he didn't went home with much luggage’s of his own when he was going back to Africa. Open the packet of the laptop to bring out the envelop which I put inside it, it contains some of my pictures and a surprise gift which i don't want to disclose to you till you sees it.
Update me when you receive it through my mobil phone number (+1-214-613-3979) or via my email so that i will be aware. Happy Christmas Celebration in advance.

Yours truly,
Kathy Palomar

Utter scam. Strangers dont write to you sending presents, and then demand money for the postage. Kathy Palomar won't be real either, it'll be a guy in an internet cafe in Cote D'Ivoire probably.

Welcome to Scamwarners.
It's a scam. The English suggests that Kathy Palomar is West African, and the email asks you to pay by Western Union. I'm sure that once you had paid the $73, you would be told that a much higher customs charge had to be paid.

The best part is, they don't know of any address to send the non existing package to, but they know exactly how much the costs for sending it to you are.

Thanks for posting these scam e mails, and welcome to scamwarners majaliwe.

Thanks to you guys as i was begining to think i am hard hearted!!! This same proposed Karthy has her name on google as well. If you googled her you would find a very terrible picture of a white elderly woman claiming to be 29 and wanting friendship. She claims she is palomar kathy a 29year old female from DOVER, United states. She also claims she is Assistant Project Manager at ExxonMobil Oil & Energy company in America. I really got so irritated by this non-sense of wanting to make friends and wanting to help me get a job in an energy comapny. blaaaablaaaablaaa
