Hello Rada.

I've made some corrections here (few!), but feel the need to comment that the color of the young woman is irrelevant to your story. It adds absolutely nothing to enhance your tale, and infact may bely possible prejudice/bias. One, who is aware of world geography, may simply assume she is a person of color since it states she is from Gambia. Thank you for sharing this story- be weary and good luck!

The blackmail email

Once, I recieved a message in a language-exchange site(not italki). It was from a young (Irrelevant and unnecessary !dark-skinned) woman. She asked me for my email address and since I was happy to chat with her, I sent it to her. In her response to me, She said that she is from Gambia, and she is "24years old (never married before) and presently residing in the refugee camp in Banjul, Gambia" (Is this a direct quote from her message to you?). This was the result of a civil war in that country. She describes a soulful story about her family dying . Initially I trusted her and I thought:"Oh my God, poor girl!" I answered, and sent my condolences. After a couple of messages back and forth she said that her family was very rich and she has a lot of money. She says she needs to leave the camp and that I should help her by sending her money for a plane ticket. In doing that, she promised to reward me. That is was really shocked me! I can't believe that I trusted her. I googled the phrases from her letter and google showed me a lot of results. I wasn't the first who received these fake texts. I felt so foolish. =)

The blackmail email

Once upon a time I received a message in a language-exchange site (not italki). It was from a young dark-skinned woman. She asked me for my email. I was happy to chat with her and I sent her my address. And Then I received a letter from her. She said that she is from Gambia, and she is (and I quote) "24 years old (never married before) and presently residing in the refugee camp here in Banjul the Gambia as a result of the civil war that was fought in my country". And She described an soulful sad story about her family dying ... and initially I trusted her. I thought:"Oh my God, poor girl.." I answered, sent my condolences. But after a couple of messages she said that her family was very rich and she has a lot of money, but she should go abroad leave the camp and go abroad, and I should help her and send to her some money for the air ticket. And Then she will reward me. That was really shocked me. I can't believe how could I trust her. I googled the phrases from her letter and google shows me a lot of results: I wasn't the first who received these fake texts. I felt myself so foolishly =)

yup, very gullible.
