Some Dubious Love, Pleading-for-Help Letters!
Once in a while, I'd receive letters from people whom I don't really know, or have not met before. They'd be writing that they're out to seek love, plus their desire to get help from me, one way or another, with specific instructions on the steps I need to take so that I could help them. I am aghast that the government officials of Niger are far from taking steps to contain spreading letters like these from being sent out in the internet---it seems like they like to keep a bad reputation (which is very difficult to get rid of, unless you pay so much money just for public relations, or something else).
There's nothing bad about helping, really, if only I have in my hands the help that's needed, but how do you best deal with these letters? I might as well share them here for all the curious readers, visitors out there. I'll keep on updating this posting, until they quit sending me such letters. I wonder how these writers are able to send mails like those copy-pasted here without even going out of their way to know me as a person first. Or at least at the minimum, send me some preliminary notes or messages before they open up on something as "love" or "pls help" message being poured out all at once. I just find these letters very amusing!...Have fun yourselves. Thank you for bringing some smile into my face, but really, no thanks at all (is what I meant ha ha ha).

Dearest,
My dear I am writing this mail with tears and sadness and pains. I know it will come to you as a suprise since we haven't known or come across each other before, but kindly bear with me at this moment. I have a special reason why I decided to contact you. My situation at hand is miserable but I trust in God and hope you will be of my help. My name is Omera Ibrahim Bare 25years old girl and I held from Republic of Niger the daughter of Late General Ibrahim Bare Ma?nassara the former President of the Republic of Niger who was ambushed and killed by dissident soldiers at the military airport in the capital, Niamey with his driver and a former Prefect. You can see more detail about my late father here

I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment which I am receiving from my step mother. She planned to take away all my late father's treasury and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father. Meanwhile I wanted to travel to Europe, but she hide away my international passport and other valuable documents. Luckily she did not discover where I kept my father's File which contained important documents. I am presently staying in the Mission camp in Burkina Faso.
I am seeking for longterm relationship and investment assistance. My father of blessed memory deposited the sum of USD$6.7 Million in one bank in Burkina Faso with my name as the next of kin. I had contacted the Bank to clear the deposit but the Branch Manager told me that being a refugee, my status according to the local law does not authorize me to carry out the operation. However, he advised me to provide a trustee who will stand on my behalf. I had wanted to inform my stepmother about this deposit but I am affraid that she will not offer me anything after the release of the money. Therefore, I decide to seek for your help in transferring the money into your bank account while I will relocate to your country and settle down with you. I have my fathers death certificate and the account number which I will give you as soon as you indicated your interest to help me.
It is my intention to compensate you with 20% of the total money for your assitance and the balance shall be my investment in any profitable venture which you will recommend to me as have no any idea about foreign investment. Please all communications should be through this email address only for confidential purposes.
Thanking you alot in anticipation of your quick response. I will send you my photos in my next email.
Yours Sincerely
Omera Ibrahim Bare
