Email from Paula Ngoyoni

This person apparently trusts you with his money because he trusts God. Can’t believe this person is adding “God” into this. What a scam!!!

Dear Friend
I am very sorry to bother you with my plight.
Please know that it’s not by mistake I am contacting you but by the special grace of God.
My name is Paula Ngoyoni from Kenya. I am 17 resident in Abidjan Ivory Coast where I am
attending the French Business College. My father was doing cocoa business here and a minister
in my home country too.

My father was killed on a plane crash on 9th of April 2006 after I had lost my mom and only
brother to ethnic violence in my region. My father was an assistant Regional Development
Minister in Kenya before he died when he and his friends were travelling on a military plane
to a peace mission outside Nairobi. Please see details on http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4898558.stm

I was his only surviving child.. His death has now made me an orphan.
Four months before his unfortunate sudden death, while we were talking after dinner, my father
told me that he have a total sum of 5.45 million dollars deposited in a bank here in Abidjan.
He said he used me his only surviving child as his next of kin to the deposit and incase he dies,
I should take care of myself with it. It was like he knew he would be leaving me. I never read any
meaning into his words until now.
I have confirmed from the bank all the papers he gave me on the deposit.

I asked them to give me the money but they showed me the papers my dad signed
with them that I must be 25 years old before they can hand over the money to me personally.
They said I should send them my birth certificate which I did and they told me that am still under
the age my dad signed with them.
They told me that my dad made a provision that my guardian can be able to obtain the
money on my behalf to cater and invest for my future.

Please this is where I need you please. I am suffering here without money and
since he died, I have not gone to school again while there is money lying at the bank.
I will do all you want from me provided it’s within my reach and the will of God.
I am trusting you because I trust God never to lead me astray.
Please help me.

I have just emailed them that my guardian will contact them because I don’t want
them to take advantage of me that i have no guardian.
I want you to stand for me as my guardian and contact them. Tell them you are my guardian and because
of the promise you made to my father before he died, you want me to be with you where you can better
take care of me.
Tell them to transfer the money to you so you can cater for me as my dad asked.
Please help save my life please.
I have no more money here and feeding is a big problem to me now. Please I trust you because I trust God.
Again, As soon as the money has been transferred, to assist me with a letter
of invitation that will make me get a visa to your country for residence in order for me to continue my
education and to invest the fund in a viable business there.

This money can take care of me there without any problem and please I need
you to manage the fund for me as this is my last hope in life. I am ready to
do anything you want provided you help me.
You can Have 20 percent of the money if you help me. If this is acceptable to you, send me a mail through
my e-mail account so that I can know you more.

Please send me your photo and your telephone number please.
God Bless you.
Yours, Sincerely
Paula Ngoyoni
