SCAMMER IN BRIEF:
Miss. Serena Yak, 24 years old woman from the Sudan, parents had died in plane crash. After the death of parents, faced the hostility of the wicked uncles who claim for all the family property themself and and sold it abroad. The late father (Dr. Justin Yak) had been a substantial bank deposit ($7.2 million US dollars) with the Senegalese bank. Miss. Serena is the bank deposit's designated the next of kin (beneficiary). However, she can't withdraw the money from her late father's bank account. The financial governing laws of the Senegal states, the persons with the refugee status are not allowed to participate personally into any monetary transaction or to operate with a bank account overseas or locally.

In addition, the deposit agreement/bond between the bank and the late father stipulate that Miss. Serena can't claim for the deposit until reach 30 years of age or is married, but allow foreign trustee/guardian to claim on her behalf. The bank had guided her to obtain a foreign trustee/guardian, who would claim for the deposit on her behalf so that the wire transaction of the inherited funds to the trustee/guardian's bank account would be possible. Trustee/guardian's commission and allowance would be 30%, rest of the funds would be invested in lucrative business. The trustee/guardian would obtain the travel documents for her so that she can re-locate to live over to him, resume her interrupted studies and start new better life.

She obtained the lawyer (Barrister Abdul Seck) to drafting the power of attorney and the affidavit of oath according to the bank's procedure of the wire transaction. Miss. Serena would sign the documents in the Federal High Court, lawyer would representing the trustee/guardian and sign the documents on behalf him. However, this lawyer was too busy to provide costs and fees.

Subject: LOVE AND TRUST

My dearest ”xxxxx”,

I am glad that you replied to my mail, Meanwhile Let me first introduce myself to you. My name is Miss Serena Yak, 24 years old and I am a Sudanese but I am currently staying in Senegal. I am searching for a trust worthy person who will be my friend because I believe any good relationship will only last if it is built based on truth and real love. My father Dr. Justin Yak was the former Minister for SPLA Affairs and Special Adviser to President Salva Kiir of South Sudan. On Friday May 02, 2008, My father (Justin Yak) and my mother including some Military officers had been on board when the plane crashed and killed all the passengers on board. You can read about the crash through the site:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7380412.stm

After the burial of my father and mother, My uncles conspired and sold my father’s properties to a Chinese Expatriate of which they shared the money among themselves without thinking about my future.

One faithful morning, I opened my father's briefcase and I found the documents which he used in depositing $7.2 Million (USD) in a Bank in Senegal of which I am the next of kin. I kept the secret to myself and I traveled to Senegal to withdraw some money so i can travel outside Africa to start a new life but the Bank manager whom i met in person told me that my late father instructed in his will that the money should only be release to me when i am married or when i present a reliable foreign trustee who will help me claim and invest the money overseas.

I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. Instead, please take me as your own sister. Though you may wonder why I am so soon revealing myself to you without knowing you but I will say that my mind convinced me that you are the true person to help me manage this money in a profitable business and also help me to relocate to your country so i can complete my studies over there because my uncle has threatened to assassinate me.

However, It is my intention to compensate you with 30% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my capital in your establishment. As soon as I receive your interest in helping me, I will put things into action immediately. In the light of the above, I shall appreciate an urgent message indicating your ability and willingness to handle this transaction sincerely. Please do keep this only to yourself as i am afraid of losing my life and the money if people get to know about it. I have attached my photo for you to know me more. thanks.

Yours Sincerely
Serena Yak

My dearest ”xxxxx”,

Its to my surprise to read your mail this morning and I understand that you have been communicating with the bank concerning the transfer of my inheritance fund. Please You should called me with my number (+221 77 107 52 73) whenever you drop me a mail because i do not have frequent access to use the computer here as i am staying in the church hostel. I truly appreciated the way you are handling this transfer pending my arrival to meet with you and start a new life. I want you to know that i am suffering here but I believe with you i can start a new life in your country after the transfer of my money to your bank account.

I have seen what the bank is demanding before they will transfer the money to your possession. Presently I have my Late Father Death Certificate and the certificate of deposit which I have attached the original scan copies herein. The only thing we need now is the Power of Attorney and other documents which the bank said it will be issued by a lawyer here in Senegal.

After reading your mail this morning, I took the Deposit certificate and Death certificate to the bank for confirmation but the bank manager said that other documents are very important to legalize the transfer of the fund to your bank account, So he gave me the contact of a respected lawyer who is working with the united nations here in Senegal, I have also visited their office this morning and I have explained the issue to him. The lawyer said that i am not allowed to seek for the service of a legal representative due to my status in this country. So he said you should contact him directly before they can process the required documents on our behalf.

Below is a mail which I have composed for you including the lawyer's email, Please send him the mail immediately and also call him on phone so that they can start processing the required documents.

Please contact the lawyer today.
