 Subject: Stranded in El Salvador, asking for urgent help - Thorsten and Kernesha

Hello,
My wife and I are contacting you because we are in a life-threatening situation.
Currently, we are living with severely limited food supplies. Fearful of becoming homeless.

We fled Germany at the beginning of COVID-19 and, after a very long journey via Denmark, Sweden, and Mexico, we settled in El Salvador with the hope of being able to lead a new life here. Unfortunately, this dream fell through because of dubious lawyers and local companies.

We lost all our money and are now stuck here. We don't get any help from the German Embassy either.
We can provide all details about our call for help and our documents (ID cards, visas, certificates, CVs) for review and verification.

Maybe you or one of your contacts have an opportunity to help to stay in El Salvador or any other country so that we have a chance to start a new life.
We are very grateful for any help you can get.

My Qualifications:
- Over 30 years of experience in the IT field, including system development, project engineering, and security/network specialization.
- Proven track record of independently coordinating and realizing customer projects.
- Unique specialization in building espionage-resistant computer systems, free of hidden hardware spyware – a service I would be honored to offer exclusively in El Salvador.

My Wife's Background:
- Accomplished dancer with extensive training and competition experience, including winning multiple awards throughout her childhood.
- Bachelor of Fine Arts degree specializing in dance.

Our Plight:
- We came to El Salvador seeking a safe haven to build a life together, but unfortunately, previous attempts to gain residency in other countries were unsuccessful.
- We lost a significant amount of money to a fraudulent company that promised residency assistance. This resulted in losing our temporary residency status in El Salvador and my company shares.
- Despite my extensive experience and job search efforts, finding employment has proven difficult due to our precarious residency situation.
- Establishing a new IT security company (NO LOCKUP GROUP) proved impossible due to our financial hardship.

Our Urgent Situation:
- We are facing a dire financial situation with limited resources remaining for food and rent.
- We have exhausted all avenues for support, reaching out to government entities, schools, churches, and even international communities.
- Fearful of becoming homeless and desperate for survival, we see you, as our last hope.

Our Commitment:
We are ready to contribute positively to El Salvador. My skills in IT security can significantly benefit the nation, and Kernesha's artistic talent can enrich the cultural landscape.

Request for Consideration:
We kindly request the opportunity to present our qualifications and documents (passports, visas, certificates, CV, and temporary residency proof) for your review.

Desperation and Hope:
We are at a critical juncture. With only three weeks before facing homelessness, we plead for your compassion and any assistance you can offer.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Thorsten Lieb and Kernesha Shondelle Ramaihttps://m.primal.net/JVfG.png
