Hi my dear friend, How are you doing and life with you in general? I hope you had a wonderful day. I am fine, It's only that... Aaina Jonathan is a very busy woman. All the contents of your mail were quite noted and understood. It is true we have not met; nevertheless, from your mail I am taking you for seriousness. Before I proceed, I will like to inform you that If we are to become best of friend, we are to base our friendship on honesty, trustfulness, and love, above all, open-minded; this is because I do not want to experience pain on you in any way, as I really want to be your friend.

Third message:
Hello dear
I Guess you are doing great..
I'm very sorry that I could not reply to your message on time. I was very busy in office with Christian Humanitarian Commission.
I got some gifts and items from the organisation, (Christian Humanitarian Commission ) and your thoughts just came into my mind, and I decided to send some to you as presents. Actually I do not have a need for some of these items so I felt they might be useful to you in one way or the other.
And also for you to register in your heart that I came first among all your friends.
I sent these gift items through a Co_worker, Reverend Sister Shelby Turner, as she went to Senegal yesterday for Christian Humanitarian
Commission to Senegal with her groups, Sisters of Our Lady's Christian Doctrines.
Yesterday after participating in a Church meeting we held, I gave her the gift items to deliver to you when she arrives there since you didn't supply me with your postal address and I couldn't wait for you to do that now because of my urgency.
I am on my way to Haiti,for Christian Humanitarian Commission Aid support in Haiti.
I believe where the Rev. Sister Shelby Turner is residing ( in Senegal) might be closer to your residence country. You should ensure to contact her if possible discuss with her on
Tel phone / Whatsapp Number: (+221704201007) regarding how to receive your gift package and you should try to send
her home postal Address and telephone numbers to enable her to post your items to your home destination OK.
Please try to copy this Tel phone / Whatsapp Number: (+221704201007) and forward it through her Whatsapp number.
*My Dear Reverend Sister Shelby Turner, I'm a very good friend to Dr. Aaina Jonathan
i contacted you so that you can direct me on how to receive my gift parcels Thanks and God Bless You....*
Please don't laugh at me when you receive the items, I know it isn't much but I sent it from my innermost heart and believe you are going to appreciate everything inside the package because it is coming from a special friend and in a special way.
I know that you will be in need of these items in one way or the other. The contents of the items are:
2 apple laptops,1 LED Television ,2 i-phones 11 pro,2 gold wristwatches, Video Cameras,Some Jewelries and AN ENVELOPE. I packed everything in a medium carton and gave it to Reverend Sister Shelby Turner to deliver it to you because she didn't travel with much luggage of her own when she was travelling.
Open the pack of one of the cartons and bring out the Envelope which I put inside, it contains some of my recent pictures and that of my family members too and a surprise Gift well wrapped which I don't want to disclose to you until you see it yourself OK.
Please kindly keep me Updated when you have received it alright, so I will be aware. So that we can share the joy and happiness together.
And I will see how i can make a request for you as a volunteer in the organisation of Christian Humanitarian Commission if you could be interested.
I pen down here and hope to get back your prompt and lovely response.
One Love,Peace.
Yours Ever Loving.
Dr. Aaina Jonathan
