I just got this amazing letter in the ebox...
I am the wife of detained former Vice President Foday Sankoh of Sierra-Leone and leader of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF). Who is presently in government custody for charges of treason, illegal diamond dealing and alleged killing of 21 people during a public non- peaceful demonstration outside his home in May 2000. President Kabbah's own army, plus the kamajors and the West Side Boys are also there; including the RUF. There was an attempt to unilaterally and forcefully disarm the RUF whilst keeping the other armed factions operational. Indeed this problem of implementing the Lome Accord lies at the root of the present crisis in Sierra Leone. Regrettably, the price is just DIAMONDS, nothing else, but DIAMONDS, and, just as these forces are spilling blood and committing untold atrocities heaping all the vices on scapegoat RUF, the DIAMONDS continue to be melted away, in broad daylight. With a pending war crimes trial hanging on his neck and the adoption of the ratification of the ICC Treaty which is seen as a welcome development by many Sierra Leoneans both at home and in the Diaspora. There is likelihood that my husband would be facing war tribunal about to be set up in Freetown by this hideous government. You are also aware that the government following his incarceration has confiscated all of our assets and account traceable to him and his family both abroad and locally. In view of this development, I have been instructed to dispose the large stock of unpolished diamond that is in my custody and US$20 million of United States Dollars that is in cash and launder this money abroad without any trace to our family's name. My situation is very desperate, as I do not have the know-how on how to maneuver this situation and I am not allowed traveling outside my country. If you can assist me to legitimize these funds by assisting in moving this money and Diamonds outside Sierra Leone and using it for the purpose of investment for an agreed period of time, I am ready and willing to concede some percentage for all your logistics and material involvement. Therefore, contact me immediately, only, if you are able and interested in assisting me. Kindly contact me preferably using my alternative email address at [EMAIL PROTECTED], as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, Mrs. Fatou N. Sankoh E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
