Subject: RE; Your attention
From: Benedictus kadzamira-Banda
Dear Friend,
Firstly, my apologies for this intrusion on your privacy. I
amBenedictus
Kadzamira-Banda, the son of Cecilia Tamanda kadzamira and Late Dr.
Hastings
Kamuzu Banda who died in 1997.
I came to know you in the course of my search for a reliable person. I
decided
to contact you because I believe you are a reputable person that can
help
me and my family over this confidential matter.
I am counting on your integrity and honesty to be able to handle this
business.
My father, Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda was the former president of
Malawi,
in South Africa.During his reign as the president, my mother was his
official
consort/hostess. My mother had such an influence over him that she had
alot
of enemies.

During my father lifetime and even after his death, my mother has
always
been under attack by the male dominated polity of Malawi for the role
and
influence she exerted in the country. Several attempts have been made
to
discredit her and jail her for crimes she did not committ or had no
knowledge
of.
My family and I have also been at the recieving end of such attacks as
people
see me as a possible rallying point for my late father's political
supporters.
I have gone at length to state that I have no political ambitions, but
all
these have continued to fall on deaf ears. For the safety of my family,
I
have relocated to South Africa for the time being.
Recently my mother intimated me of a certain amount of money she had
stashed
away in South Africa, she made this revelation to me based on the fact
that
she is old now and death either by foul play or natural causes can not
be
ruled out.
All the legal documents of this fund are in my possession, I want to
use
this money to relocate my fa,mily to the West where we can live a
normal
life.
You assisstance is recieving this fund and relocating my family will be
highly
appreciated. You will be highly rewarded for any positive role you play
in
this endeavour.
You can reach me on fax number 0027115076245 or via my personal email
address:benedictuskbanda@netscape.net
I look forward to your timely response as this is a cry for help.
I remain obliged.
Yours faithfully,
Benedictus Kadzamira-Banda.
