In case you do not have an initial mtz file somewhere with the Sigma
(standard deviation) values --- to be merged with your current file
assuming that the relative scale factor has been maintained --- then you
can easily compute 'fake' Sigma values as Sigma = 0.1 * Fobs.

Easily done using e.g. Bart Hazes's sftools.

The resulting values will suit most needs.
