Email: In which an African princess solicits money

An African prince has been been kidnapped while studying at MIT. Unfortunately, the ransom demand is too high for his sister, the African princess, to pay without destroying the livelihood of her people in her kingdom. Having no other recourse, she emails random people, who number in the millions, across the globe asking for help. Thousands of people answer and she has more money than necessary for the ransom demands. Honor dictates that she can't accept charity. Her plan is that the people she solicits would pay small parts of the ransom and she would slowly pay them back after getting her brother back. She even offers them a significant extra dividend based on how much money these wonderful saviors give her to pay the ransom. The people from the email list send her money money than the ransom amount. She pays the ransom and invests the rest in multiple offshore accounts across the world. She hopes that the lack of taxes and the high return value would help her pay of her saviors. All this while, law enforcement agencies across the world are spying on the princess because of these suspect fiscal activities. Another reason for all this is to to gain control of her country by political and corporate organizations. All the while, our princess goes about the duty of ruling the kingdom while being unaware of the espionage. The politics of the issue forces the law enforcement to try to imprison her and seek control of her assets. Breaking out of the jail, the princess runs. In her possession is the ancestral seal, the blessings of her people and, most importantly, a list of people who helped her with money. She hopes they will again help her through shelter, food and, most importantly, save her kingdom from these dastardly villains.
