Dear sir/madam,
This is my letter I wrote to tell you how I felt when given a pardon. When I came to Canada I wasn’t convicted of any crimes, I go to school and work living with my dad and stepmother was difficult for me so I have to move out on my own.
Living on the street in shelters wasn’t good for me but a friend of mine in school days in Sierra Leone helped me to go and live with them while I go on income support but then I have to move out again because of her little sister was giving me problems not allowing me to study as I was going to school. I graduated on June 2006 I went to study in college and one night I was sleeping something touched me then I woke up from my sleep and eversince that time my life change as things turned upside down for me.
I told my pastor and he said I have demon in me and it was my stepmother who has cast a spell on me so I will not be able to continue my education, so I had to quit and was on medication since that time but the medications wasn’t working as it makes me to hallucinates so am going to Sierra Leone for treatment to be delivered.
When I was convicted I wasn’t able to get a job or go to school but with pardons Canada my life has changed and now I am glad that also I will be wedded next year in Sierra Leone. I tried also to do volunteer jobs but nothing was working for me I was just being idle and been on medications for the demon in me.Now that I have been given pardon I am now relieved as though I was carrying a very big burden on me I just kept praying to God to touched the hearts of the people dealing with my case to please forgive me that I never cut Cynthia body with a knife I only bite her and God did. And thanks to pardons Canada for helping me get through with my application. I have also been given my citizenship certificate and have now applied for Canadian passport and just waiting to be approved then I will travel to Sierra Leone to get married and come and go to school and sponsor my mother, spouse and my adopted son.
