Some people are attracted by the promise of money, often said to be stolen from (officially) the poorest country in the world, but want to find out more before committing themselves. Some pretend to be friends of people who never existed, or researchers needing "just a little more information" about fictitious deputy ministers of finance and schming royal families. Below is a small sample.

Dear Sir, I am interested in finding newspaper articles, or other information concerning the death of Gen. Fode Sanko earlier this year. Gen. Fode Sanko was former ECOMOG (West African Peacekeeping Force) commander who died in the Sierra Leone civil disturbance (war). I am a family friend and am interested in knowing any details relating to his untimely death. Any help you could give me to find this information would be very greatly appreciated. If not perhaps you would know where I could find such information.

I am from Australia and am seeking assistance in finding some info on Dr Lamidi Nbombo who I guess was associated with Foday Sankoh. I would also like to know about his family and their whereabouts now. Also if they had any financial and political gains through the RUF.

I'm looking for something that happens in Sierra Leone in the city "Freetown". Can you tell me what's happens in the month september2001 in the city of "freetown". I heard that there was a military action in the city of "freetown" Ouest, where a man called "Abby Youssef " was killed. Can you confirm this to me, this information is very important for me. I'm making studies of Africa of the history today. What I think is that Mr. Youssef Abby was member of the political opposition of Issa Seya. Is it possible to describe me whats happens with Mr. Youssef Abby, and if it is possible can you sent me also more information about a memeber of the group of Issa Seya, called Mohammed, who I think it was a friend of this mister Abby. This information can be very interested to help people I know.
