Presently, I am doing my final year in the University and so anxious to graduate from the University into the free world

The world is full of evil, and people tends to be very careless of there lives and diseases has been the tune of the day and war and terrorism act is the deed of this days.

All these things motivated the UN youth united states to organize a seminar that will educate people more on these issues, mostly on the

deadly disease like HIV and secondly to reduce violence like war & civil war and terrorist act which has been a canker-worm that is eating almost the world at large so as a member of the Youth International I am inviting you to a conference that will take place firstly in united states and Africa.

i nearly fell for this trick once but that was about 6years ago.anyone that falls for it should be awarded the best fool of the century

From the "ENGLISH COMPOSITION" you should know this is a scam.
They use it every where and every time. They may even tell you there's a job offer somewhere but you are to pay for your rent (1-3 months) up front. After they will reimburse you..blah blah blah.... Once you see such...DELETE button is not far away.

So the organizer's contact couldn't be included, no phone number, no website, no abstract, he's really in lost angels. If me i will simply reply "Save Your UN Youth Conference for those Without Heads cos I Got One and It's Working Perfectly".
God save us!
