A new character is introduced as part of the scam in this email :

Hello Dear,

Greetings to you my dear, I am writing to you with a heart full of tears and sadness, but first I have to say compliments of the day and I'll be waiting for my email in response to my request to you, please tell me more about yourself and intention to me if you agree to be intimate with me, My name is Miss Gift Siako i am 24 years old, but age does not matter in a real relationship, I am the only surviving daughter of my late father (Dr. Siako Adams) of Liberia, in the small town of Grand Bassa, i am 5. 8tall 173cm, but I am currently residing in Dakar, Senegal under asylum as a refugee, I'm a sophomore at the University of Liberia studying mass communication before the war started in my country. Until the death of my late father Dr S. Adams, my father was the director general of Siako Manufacturing company and he was the personal adviser to the former head of State ( former President of Liberia Charles Taylor) before the rebels attacked our house one
early morning and killed my mom and dad in cold blood. I'm open minded girl easy going, hard working and caring, always keep my word. looking for someone who is honest, as I wrote in my profile to marry, no matter where it comes from and no matter their religion.

I am single, never married and active. i like easy and comfortable life, go to the beach, cooking, watching TV, like sports football, etc, shopping, reading newspapers and novels. please I would have loved to chat with u but in this camp, we are not allowed to go out often.

I have no relatives now to go to, all my relatives ran away in the midst of war, the only person I have now is the Rev. Danny King, who is the pastor of Christ for all Churches here in the Camp. He has been good to me since I got here, but I'm not living with him rather i am leaving in the women hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men and another for women. And I use to contact you via computer Reverend Danny King here in the camp where i send and receive mails, also here is the Reverend pastor Danny King phone number (+221-76-33-86-879) for easier to hear your voice, When you call tell the reverend pastor Danny King wants to speak to Miss Gift Siako He send for me,

As a refugee here I have no right or privilege 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 tragic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.Please hear this, I have my late father's account and death certificate here with me. I'll send you the letter because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading financial company in which he used my name,Gift and family members, the amount involved in the (Certificate of Deposit) is (U.S. $ 4m) four million U.S. dollars deposited by my late father in the bank I'm the next of kin.

So I would like you to help me transfer this money to your care and from it you can send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come to meet with you.I kept this secret to people in camp here, the only person who knows about it is the Reverend because he is like a father to me. So in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and not to tell anyone for fear of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know.

Remember i am giving all this information due to trust and love i deposited on you.I like honest and understanding people, truthful, hardworking and a man of vision.
If you accept and is willing to help me, all you will do is to send your personal data and recent photograph so that i would send it to the bank confirming you as my trustee only if you are truthful and do not have evil intention.

Have a nice day and thank you so much for making out time to go through my sad story. i await your urgent response because i am really suffering here. i need to get out of this place please.

Yours sincerely
Gift Siako
