I received a mail:

"Hello Dear,
Thank you very much for you mail and you concern over me and my condition, I am sending this mail with all my trust and hope that you will surely help me out. Dear i don't have any relatives now whom i can go to all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war the only person i have now is Rev. David George who is the pastor of the (Christ for all Churches) here in the refugee he has been very nice to me since i came here in the camp,
The Pastors Tel number is (+221-764-958-859) if you call and tell him that you want to speak with me he will send for me in the hostel. As a refugee here i don't have any right or privileged 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 listen to this,i have my late father's Deposit slip and death certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank,which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $9.7M(Nine Million seven Hundred Thousand Dollars).
So i will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you, in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for 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 of vision,truth and hardworking.
Meanwhile i will like you to call me like i said i have a lot to tell you.Have a nice day and think about me.
Awaiting to hear from you soon.
Yours luxeen"


I replied:

"Wow! that's amazing. I just spoke to Rev. David George but he said you were outside playing football. We ended up talking for a bit and I mentioned what I would do with my share of the money (a couple of Ferrari's and for gridlock days - a new MTA-train card as the prices are just sky-rocketing! also I need some new clothes - can never have too many CK-suits, right?)

I also sent him my bank account number so I expect the money soon. Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately he told me you couldn't fly at the moment but that the money-transfer would happen anyway.

Best,
c"
