Mr.JOHNSON COLEMAN
Abidjan Cote D'Ivoire
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mr. Johnson Coleman and my sister is Miss Rose Coleman, we are the
children of late Chief Paul Coleman from Sierra Leone. I got your contact
from the diary of my late uncle Rev. John Moses Coleman , who died on January
2000 as a result of air crash involving kenya Airways. My source of your
contact gave me the courage and confidence to rely on you for assistance.
I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to
seek your assistance to transfer our cash of thirty
Million Dollars ($30,000.000.00) now in the custody of a private Security
trust firm here in Abidjan, the money is in trunk boxes deposited and declared
as family valuables by my late father, as a matter of fact, the company
do not know the content as money, although my father made them to under
stand that the boxes belongs to his foreign partner.
Source of the money:
My late father, Chief Paul Coleman , a native of
mende District in the Northerh province of Sierra
Leone, was the General Manager of Sierra Leone Mining
co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown . According to my
father, this money was the income accrued from Mining.
Co-operation's over draft and minor sales. Before the
peak of the civil war between the rebels forces of
Major Paul Koroma and the combined forces of ECOMOG
peace keeping operation that almost destroyed my
country, following the forceful removal from power of
the civilian elected President Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by
the rebels. My father had already made arrangement for
his family- my mother, my little sister and myself to
be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote d' Ivoire with the
certificate of deposit he made with a security firm in
Abidjan through the aid of UN evacuation team.
During the war in my country, and following the
indiscriminate looting of Public and Government
properties by the rebel forces, the Sierra Leone
mining coop. Was one of the target looted and
destroyed.
My father including other top Government functionaries
were attached and killed by the rebels in November
2000 because of his relationship with the civilian
Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah.
As a result of my father's death , and with the news
of my uncle's involvement in the air crash in January,
dashed our hope of survival.
The untimely deaths caused my mother's heart failure and other related complications
of which she later died in the hospital after we must have spent a lot of
money on her ending of last year . Now my 18 years old sister and myself
are alone in this strange country suffering without any care or help. Without
any relation, we are now like refugees and orphans.
