Dear one,
I am Mr. Franklin Ogaga. and my sister is Miss eveon Savin, we are the children
of late Chief Abudul omar OGAGA from Sierra Leone. I am writing you in absolute
confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer our cash of twenty
one Million Dollars ($21,000.000.00) now in the custody of a private Security
trust firm in Ghana (West Africa) the money is in trunk box deposited and
declared as
family valuables by my late father as a matter of fact the company does
not know the content as money, although my father made them to understand
that the boxes belongs to his foreign partner.
My late father Chief Abudul Omar Savin, a native of Mende District in the
Northerh province of Sierra Leone, was the General Manager of Sierra Leone
Diamond/Gold Mining co-operation (S.L. D.G M.C.) Freetown . According to
my father, this money was the income inccued 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 thats talking about
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
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 target looted and it was
destroyed. My father including other top Government functionaries were
attaked 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 it 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 early this year .
