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

MY FULL LIFE STORY WITH LOVE AND TRUST

How are you today?.
I believe you are doing well.
My dear thing are very bad for me here in the refugee camp where i am living today.
My height is 5.8ft, 65kg weight, and 24years old, I was first year student in the university studying Social Science before the ugly incident that killed my parents that put me in this horrible place i found myself toady with painful experience and agony of life. My parents were killed in cold blood. This place is like a prison and an ordinary place to dwell. I thank God for the Reverend Father church of the Orphanage home of St Louis Catholic Parish here in Dakar Senegal located in the camp where i send and receive your emails and his name is (Reverend Peter Anthony) and he just like a father to me as i became close to him during one of his visitation to the clinic when i was sick. You can call me in his office with this number (+221773716922) so that i can talk with you, when you call please tell him that you want to speak with me so that he can send for me from the females hostel to talk with you. Dear i don't have any relatives now whom i can live with the only person i have now is (Reverend Peter Anthony) My dear i will like you to help me come over to meet with you in your country for a better life as my health is going down daily here due to the poor condition of the camp where i am living and many people dies here everyday.

My dear please there is one other thing i will like you to do for me as i need some body who will assist me due to my refugee status here in Senegal. Before the death of my father, he deposited a sum of ($6.6 million) Six million six hundred thousand dollar in leading bank in Europe which my name appears as the next of kin. Already i have informed the bank about my plans to claim this money but the bank told me to look for a foreign partner who will assist me in the claim due to my refugee status here in Senegal. As a refugee i don't have a direct claim over the money but can only have it through an appointed representative. So in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone because 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 person of vision, truth and hardworking. Please my dearest love i will like to know your willingness to assist me in this claim so that i can give you the full contact of the bank in Europe for you to contact them for verification and confirmation.

I will however i appreciate if you can call me with this telephone number
(+221773716922) in the church office located in the refugee camp so that i can
tell you more about what i am going through. When you call,please tell (Reverend Peter Anthony) that you want to speak with me so that he will send for me from the female's hostel to talk with you. God bless you as you help me out from here,
Yours beloved Monica.

An email sent from [email protected] by the scammer playing the role of the bank officer :

The transfer Manager of Standard Chartered Bank Plc.
5th Floor Cannon Bridge House
25 Dowgate Hill
London
EC4R 2SB United Kingdom


For your kind attention Mr XXXXXXXXXX,
I have been directed by the director of Foreign Operation/Wire Transfer to write you in respect to your mail received. Actually, we have been informed last few days about you by the young lady Miss. Monica Yake that she wishes you to be her Trustee/Representative for the claim of her late father's fund deposit with our bank.

Late Dr. James Yake is our late customer with a substantial amount. The volume of money is US$6.600.000.00 (Six Million Six Hundred Thousand United State of American Dollars). Hence you have been really appointed as a trustee to represent the next of Kin.

However before our bank would transact any business concerning the transfer of the fund to your account, we need the following requirements:

1. A power of attorney or A letter of Probate and an affidavit Oath empowering you to claim and transfer the funds to your bank account on her behalf. These documents must be prepared and endorsed by a Senegalese resident lawyer in the Federal High Court since the girl is origin of Africa and currently residing in Senegal
2. The death certificate of (Her deceased father) confirming his death. (for attestation)
3. A certificate of fund deposit issued to him by our bank. (for attestation)

Note that the above items are compulsory for the filling of BTD Form 41, and are needed to protect our interest, yours, the next of kin after the claims. These shall also ensure that a smooth, quick and successful transfer of the fund is made. On receipts of the above documents/information, we shall verify them and once we are satisfied, we shall process your claim and effect the transfer.
Thank you.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Mark Gerald

And in this email, the scammer provides the contact details for the Senegalese lawyer part of the scam :


darling contact this lawyer for the preparation of the power of attorney and affidavit of oath

How are you today my dearest one?.
I believe you are well. God will bless and reward you for every effort you are making to see me out from this horrible situation i found myself today. I am suffering here in the prison called refugee camp and i believe with you i can start a new life in your side after the transfer of my money to your account. I can see what the bank is demanding before they will transfer my money to your position. i am very glad that the bank has agreed you to be my trustee and representative to transfer my late father,s fund. I have my late father's (1) (Death Certificate) and (2) (Statement Of Account) with me here which i have given to the lawyer to send to you when you contact him.

The only problem we have now is the (power of attorney and Affidavit of Oat) which the bank said that it will be issued by a lawyer here in Senegal for me to sign my signature on it. After reading your mail, i discussed it with Reverend Peter Anthony and he gave me the contact of this lawyer, Barrister Linus Ibe, He is one of the lawyers working with the united nations here in Dakar Senegal. I want you to contact him on both phone and email telling him that you are my foreign partner that you need his services to prepare a power of attorney that will enable you to transfer my 6.6 million dollars from STANDARD CHARTERED BANK PLC LONDON to your account on my behalf due to my refugee status.


His contact information's are as follows,

Over 2 years later and this scammer is still sending scam emails out from [email protected] - this email below was sent by the scammer in an attempt to re-establish contact:


Good day my Dearest

to you and i hope that you are in good and perfect health condition and i hope that your environment is conducive for you. I have been expecting to read from you for some time now , despite my ill health condition, i still managed my strength to our Reverend father's office to read from you but i feel very low in my spirit and worried as you have not written to me i am returning back to the hostel in tears because i am beginning to feel rejected by you and i want to plead with you not to dump me in the middle of the road, i know i have been stressful to you but you know that you mean so much to my life as you are my only hope of my life restoration because without you, i am dead and please do write back to me as soon as you receive this mail because your mails has been inspirational to me as i always have hope of regaining my freedom and normal life each time i read from you.

My love, the first day we were introduced over the computer, i knew you were the one for me. It has been over months that we met each other, and we are still fondly in each others minds, souls, and hearts. Before i met you i had no idea what love really was until my heart truly started aching for you. Every day we did not write to each other , and each day we are apart, tears ran down my face unconditionally for the longing of you near me. I never knew a man could have stolen my heart and made it truly his. I never knew i could love a man more than my own life. I long for the day i can finally look into your beautiful soft kind eyes and tell you how much i love you, and need you. The true beginning of my life is when i am going to be together with you in your country. These long weeks we have both waited, and all my dreams are finally coming true. I do not know about all of yours? Seeing you every day is going to be the biggest blessing to my heart knowing you are in touching reach of me, which does scare me, however in a wonderful way.

My love, you are my every heartbeat, my every gasping breathe of life. What i need to survive and make it through this lonely world can only be conquered with you by my side. I do not think there are any words that could describe the way i actually feel about you. All i know, is you are the only man that is in my mind, the only man that is in my soul, the only man who truly and unconditionally has my heart for my lifetime and many more lifetimes the world has to offer us. When i think about you, my eyes start to water because i know you are somewhere else and not in my arms. But the thought of you keeps me going and going for another breathe of fresh air to keep my longing for you in my life going. I will never leave, and i will truly never hurt you. I admire you, you are my inspiration for anything, and everything on this cold refugee camp. I never thought my time would come to love, and then it came and i was hit with so much emotion and power i did not know where to put it all. I have stacked it piece by piece in my heart for you. I truly believe you are my soul mate, and you are the only man i will only give all i have to offer forever. I hope you never let go of me because i love you, and i know you love me too as much as i love you.

My love, just the thought of you brightens my day completely, and sometimes i do bring you there on purpose to make myself happy when i am down. Picturing your smile makes me smile, and i cannot wait to actually see that adoring man i know with the unforgettable smile i know so soon. I treasure you locked in the big steel safe of my heart. I love you, sweetheart, and that is the only thing that is never going to change in my life. Always, and truly yours forever.

Loving you everyday,
Monica.
