Dallas was, apparently, a layover, not a connection. Most people would not fly FAR/ORD/DFW/ATL/LOS for connections. They could have flown FAR/ORD/ATL/LOS if they were just connectiong, so, again, it is plausible that they knew someone in Dallas. The letter is very well written, and just because someone is from Nigeria doesn't mean they're a) a liar, b) a scam artist or c) all of the above. I believe they were not allowed to take their heavy and/or excess pieces of luggage on board and were told by Delta staff they would have to leave it behind, and someone at DL told them it was donated to charity so they wouldn't have to deal with it.
