Dear SIR,
I am Mr. John Coleman and my sister is Miss Rose Coleman, we are the children of late
Chief Paul Coleman 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 Europe the money is in trunk boxes
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 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 thats talking
about my mother, my little sister and myself to be evacuated to HOLLAND NETHERLAND, 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 coop. 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 Januaryit 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 . 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 nowlike refugees and orphans.

humbly solicit your assistance in the followings ways.
