Dear Friend.

I am Mrs. Grazia Fofana wife to the late Chief Oscar k. Fofana from Sierra Leone. I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer our cash of twenty-five Million united states Dollars ($25,000.000.00)now in the custody of a private Security trust firm in Europe. the money is in trunk boxes deposited and declared as Precious stones by my late Husband.

As a matter of fact the company does not know the content as money, although my husband made them to under stand that the boxes belongs to his foreign partner.

Source of the money:

My late Husband Chief Oscar k. Fofana, a native of Mende District in the Northern province of Sierra Leone, was the General Manager of Sierra Leone Mining co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown . According to my Husband, this money was the income accrued from Mining Co-operation's overdraft and minor sales. 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.before all these, My Husband had already made arrangement for I and my two children to be evacuated to Ivory coast with the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT he made with a security firm in Europe through the aid of U.N 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 cooperation Was one of the targets and it was destroyed. My husband including other top Government functionaries were attcked 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 husbands's death , and with the information we got that the rebels are out for us the burden became too much for me to handle coupled with the ill health of my daugther. she died in the process as i could not afford her decent medical care.
