This below, is the best email I have ever received in my life:

Two weeks before this email, I had had to go through the final test in the application process.

At that time I was at home while my classmates sat for the second semester examination I had prepared so much for; I couldn’t sit for it because my Dad couldn’t afford to pay my school fees - I felt very depressed and devastated.

However, doing what ever it takes to receive that email was on my mind.

I borrowed a friends laptop, locked my self indoors and worked my ass off trying to do something I had never done before, trying to deliver the last requirement to receiving that email: creating a website from scratch.

It was really tough for me, even as malaria chose to strike at that period. But I was determined to receiving that email—my fuel was:
‘Being a software developer is what I really want to become’ and
‘Being a software developer will enable to be a scholarship giver’—so I kept pushing.

Fast forward to now:

Dear Nairalanders, I worked so hard to receive this email. It is a dream come through. And as I’ve mentioned above, I am very passionate about software engineering.
It is 80% guaranteed that after this 12 months programme I will be employed as a junior developer and hell no would I ever miss another examination because of school fees.

However, I do not have a laptop to participate in this programme, which is very very important.

Please, I need you to invest in me. I cannot afford a laptop now and my parents can’t either. I need your help to having a better future, I need your help to becoming the software developer I’ve dreamt of becoming.

My account number is 0090992147, Diamond-Access Bank,

And my phone number is 0812.704.8114

Thank you.

Please invest in me.

Dear God, my live is in your hands.
