Dear Sir,
I am Mrs. Hafsat Basma a widow and wife of Mr. Ghassan Basma. While my husband
was the
Chairman of defunct Wells Oil Inc, in Liberia, I was a University Lecturer. If
you
followed developments in Liberia, you would realize that West Oil Inc was
responsible for
all fuel importation, storage and distribution in Liberia between 1997 and mid
2003.
My husband was member of Board of a number of institutions. He never served in
any
political position during the Charles Taylor regime but because of his profound
loyalty to
the Taylors administration, his detractors accused him of handling funds from
diamond and
timber sales on behalf of Charles Taylor. My family was then enlisted among
Taylors
associates made forced to join Taylor to take refuge in Calabar, Cross River
State in
Southern Nigeria as part of an asylum deal offered for the former Liberian
leader and
associates to leave office in 2003. We lost everything we lived and worked for;
our live
savings, businesses, personal properties etc. to the Liberian people and
government.
Within a few months of our stay in Calabar, Mr. Basma was riddled with
protracted illness
that eventually claimed his live. He was confined into bed for more than 6
months. He
could not have access to any good medical care due to we were enlisted under UN
travel and
Communication ban we could not seek for medical attention anywhere outside
Calabar. On the
17th December, 2004 my husband died leaving me with 2 children of 6 and 9 years.
I have lived a torturous live since we arrived here. While I was trying to get
over the
death of my husband, I have also been diagnosed with a chronic liver disease.
Doctor has
warned unless I seek medical attention overseas, I have no chance of survival.
With the
travel ban imposed on us, how can I travel overseas? I cry all night and have
not brought
my condition to the knowledge of my children.
Presently what is left of the Basmas Account is a US$8,000,000.00 currently in
Time
Deposit Account with an overseas investment bank. The deposit is billed to
mature in 2006.
With my health being impaired, I have no alternative than to liquidate this
deposit in a
bid to salvage it from loss, may be, when I will be there no more.
I am making this secretly plea to you as a widow who desperately needs your
help as a Good
Samaritan and I ask you to please assist me to receive this deposit from the
Investment
Bank for safe keeping for my childrens sake. This remains the only money this
family has
and to save it from loss, I need to transfer the ownership of the fund to a
trust worthy
person to manage as my childrens guardian. I also want my children to relocate
and I am
making arrangement to that effect from here. I am writing this letter with the
hope that
you would be able to help.
I agree that you would retain 20% of the entire amount of money. I count on you
and wait
eagerly for your response. Thank you for your attention and God bless you.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Hafsat Basma
