Before the civil war between the rebel forces of major Paul Koromah and ECOMOG peace keeping forces that almost destroyed my country,following the forceful removal of the democratically elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels,my father had already made arrangement for me,my younger to be evacuated to Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire with our personal effects,also directed us where he deposited the trunk box containing the money inthe custody of security trust company here in Abidjan for safe custody. Also did not desclosed the real content of the box to the security company officials.
Only deposited it as African Artworks for export to his foreign partner abroad for the security of the money. When the war got over,he will join us with my mother unfortunately, they was killed by the rebel leaders in the year of november 1999,when they were planing to come and join us here. Even many functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels because of their loyalty to the president. Now I am with my younger Sister here in Abidjan suffering without any care or help,without any relation,we are now like refugees and orphans,our only hope now relies on you and the box deposited in the security company.To this effect, I humbly solicit your kind assistance in the following ways.
