               WE NEED YOUR URGENT HELP

I cannot imagine the surprise this will bring to you, but please be rest assured is with good faith and intentions from a family in dare need of your assistance to help us transfer the inheritance sum of US$23.1 million into your account or company account, in which God will bless you for rendering a helping hand to others. 

I am Mrs. Maria Banda, from Sierra Leone (currently residing in South Africa), the wife to the late Brigadier John Banda. I got your contact details in the course of my discreet search for a reliable and God fearing person from the Johannesburg Trade and Exhibition Center and after going through your profile, I decided to solicit for your kind assistance. I am currently residing with my son here in South Africa as asylum seekers and the South African Fiscal Policy Law and Regulations does not allow us certain financial rights.

My husband was a brigadier in charge of Arms and Ammunition procurement for the Sierra Leon Army before his death. After his death I discovered that in his will, he specifically drew my attention to the sum of US$23.1 million, which he had deposited, in a safe box of the Private Security Company here in Johannesburg, South Africa. The lives and future of my family depends on this fund as such I will be grateful if you can assist us. In view of this, I cannot invest this fund in South Africa hence my asking you to assist me to transfer it out of South Africa for investment purposes in your country.

For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 25% of the total sum while 3% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the course of this transaction and the remaining 72% is for the family investment in your country.

Please note that this transaction is risk-free and the major thing I ask of you is to assure me the safety of the money when transferred to your account in your country. Further information and arrangement will commence as soon as trust confidence and good relationship is established. I shall be most grateful if you maintain the confidentiality required in this transaction. 

Do not hesitate to call us on my phone +27-73-589-5594 

I wait for your prompt response

Thanks and God bless, 

Mrs. Maria Banda
