Dear William,

I am the slave trapped in the slave trade for a long time. I always look plans for escape
but every time I planned my plan fail. So, I thought I need you to help me escape. I know that
you are only the person who can help me. I was a freeman form Africa but I was captured in the
Journey to the America. At first, I was very afraid that I just wanted to die. But I thought for my
children and I standby. It was very hopeless until one day I heard about you. Then, I thought my
can still hope for escape. I was treated like a wild animal. So of course, I would plan for escape.
But, no choice. They have guns and knives but we just have our bare hand. I also have three
friends. They are like my family. One time, we try to escape but we were captured. But luckily,
they give us another chance. After that, we never tried to escape. So, can you come help me
and my friends. If you agree I have a plan. Here is a plan, me and my friend found out one little
basement that nobody come for long. We know that by looking the dusts and spider webs. Me
and my friends are going to hide inside there. They won’t notice us because there are many
slaves. You can come with the ship and your little army. Me and my friend know how to swim
so you can stop your ship 1 km away from our ship. By night, me and my friends will jump down
and swim to your ship. You need to be ready with your rope. Then, we will climb up to your
ship. After that we will go back to our hometown. Here is the location where we are:

I am in the real trouble so I want you to please helps me as soon as possible. I will very thankyou to you
if you come help us. If you come help now or later you are welcome.
