Late father (Dr. Apollo Hugo) left a inheritance $7.5 million US dollars, deposited in Scottish bank and Miss. Vera is the next of kin. Due a number of reasons (refugee status, international financial community, local laws etc.) don't have access of funds, needs of foreign assistant to prepare a claim for the Bank and act as the beneficiary on her behalf.

Subject: My full life story with love and trust

Dearest One,

I am more than happy in your reply to my mail, How is your day, Mine is a little bit hot over here in Dakar Senegal. It's just like one staying in the prison and i hope by Gods grace i will come out here soon. I don't have any brother, sister or 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 father Paul Michael who is the pastor of the (Life Christian Church) here in the camp he has been very nice to me since i came here but i am not living with him rather i am leaving in the woman's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women.The Pastors Tel number is (+221773577155) 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 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 listen to this, i have my late father's statement of account 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,t he amount in question is! $7.5M (seven Million five 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. I kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that 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 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 a man of vision, truth and hard working. My favorite language is English and very fluently. Meanwhile i will like you to call me like i said i have allot to tell you,Have a nice day and think about me,

Search of her photos show her on lots of different dating sites and also an anti-fraud site. Various names and e-mail addresses used. Undoubtedly a scammer using a wide net.

My Dear Beloved One,

My dear, I will want you to help me with some money to get my
international passport first in my country embassy here in Senegal,
Rev said that he will help me go for it if you send the money for it.

My dear beloved one, Rev Paul went to ask the cost of the passport
from the passport office and he was told by one of the officer that
because of the state of the nation, it will cost me not less than
US$250. I am confused but I just have to let you know because if I
keep it to myself, the problem will not be solve since I have no money
with me to apply for it. I pray God to provide the money for you so
that i will go and do it.

My dear beloved one, I am counting on you for this new bright lovely
peaceful and glorious life.
Yours
Vera
