Subject: SOLICITING YOUR ASSISTANCE
Dear Friend.
I am Steven Dada Mbosowo the eldest son of Chife Nkroma Mbosowo from
SierraLeone. I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your
assistance to transfer a fund deposithuge amount of money now in the custody
of a private
Securitytrust firm in Europe. The funds is in trunk boxes deposited and declared
as Precious stones by my late father. As a matter of fact the company does
not know the actual content as money, although my Father made them to understand
that
the boxes belongs to his foreign partner.
Source of the money:
My late Father Chief Nkroma Mbosowo is a native of Mende tribe 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 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 Ngaga 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
transfered the funds through diplomatic means to a security firm in Europe
through the aid of the
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
coop. Was one of the target looted and it was destroyed. My Father including
other top Government functionaries were attacked 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 fathers 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 mother she died in the process as I could not afford
her a
decent medical care. The unrest in Ivory Coast and the threat from the rebels
against our lifes,made us to be evacuated to Spain last December where I
and my family are seeking political asylum, we are at present in an asylum
camp in a small village in (Spain). Our only hope now is in you and the

partner
