Probably not the way to go to find this, but could work if you had a ton of
examples in your pot. You should likely start with a mask such as:
john hashes.txt -mask=s0m3?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a -session=mask
That will begin cracking all printable ascii characters for a word
beginning with "s0m3", see MASK in the doc folder for other examples

$ ./john.exe sha1s.txt -format=raw-sha1 -mask=s0m3?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a

You should start with the baseword as you "wordlist", and then apply rules
to the end of the wordlist.
echo s0m3 >wordlist.txt
john hashes.txt -w=wordlist.txt -rules=some-rules -session=rules

[List.Rules:some-rules]
$[0-9]$[0-9]$[0-9]$[0-9]
$[a-zA-Z]$[a-zA-Z]$[a-zA-Z]$[a-zA-Z]

And so on... those are very simple and unlikely rules, but that's the idea,
to append all digits, to append all alpha. Mask will do this already, and
maybe faster.

Might just try all rules john.conf has already, it does what your asking
and a whole lot more
john hashes.txt -w=wordlist.txt -rules=all

You have to press a key on the keyboard to see progress, or look in the log
files, when you use the -session=xyz you will see times/logs in xyz.log.
You wont see what it being tried but when it switches to new lengths, rules
etc...
If I were you I might try a wordlist like rockyou first, maybe even try
-prince mode, then go to mask.

$ ./john.exe sha1s.txt -format=raw-sha1 -mask=s0m3?w -prince=rockyou.txt

You could even throw rules in on top of all that!
