Before I send you my details, I would be grateful if you would send me some form of identification for the convent records. I was speaking to Father  Tom - who visits us and says Holy Mass in the convent each day.  He said there were many internet scams on the worldwide web these days and that we should proceed carefully with caution until we could be certain that we were dealing with genuine individuals. Would it be possible for you to email us a picture of you and your dear mother so we can show it to Fr Tom for his opinion? We're sorry to have to do this but  he has advised us to tread carefully because of the large amount of money the convent currently holds in trust for its sisters. You will appreciate we must always be careful and apologize for this slight inconvenience. Yours In Christ Mother Superior Senga ______________________________ Dear Mother Superior Senga, Once again I thank you for your email, I have not been priviledged to be on the internet for some days now. I just read through your email now and the contents are well understood. In any case, I will have the picture scanned and sent to you before long. It is very unfortunate that trust has gradually been eroded from the business world today because of the nefarious attitude of few. The fear expressed by you did not come to me as a surprise since we have not come in contact with one another for the first time and also considering the means through which I contacted you. Nevertheless,  I assure you that I am determined to use this project to prove to you that trust could still be bestowed on humanity. This project is entirely different and with a divine mission which must be accomplished.   I and my family are instilling confidence into you now and would want to use this transaction as a tool to establish enduring relationship with you first and your family at large. This is a prophetic statement and I envisage we would work towards its realization. On behalf of the entire family of late Thomas nkate, i wish to say thank you once again and remain blessed. Paul Nkate (For the Nkate’s family) Oru Refugee Camp Oru. (UNHCR) Abeokuta, Ogun State.
