I got your contact from my search for a reliable person who is capable and willing to give me the necessary assistance it will demand to transfer my family fund to his bank account and assist in the investment of the fund in his country and also assure me of the safety of this fund, which is our only hope.
I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek for your assistance in the transfer of our cash of Thirteen Million United Stated Dollars (13,000,000.00) deposited by my late father firstly with a security company here in South Africa but have been transferred to SPAIN MADRID.

My late father, Chief Joseph Mbambe, a native of Mende District in the northern province of Sierra-Leone, was the general manager of Sierra-Leone Mining Co-operation (S.L.M.C) Freetown. According to my father, this money was the income accrued from mining co-operation over draft and minor sales. Before the peace of the civil war between the rebel forces of Major Paul Koromah and the combined forces of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost destroyed my country, following the forceful removal from power of the civilian elected president Ahmed Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My father had already made arrangement for his family, my mother, my little sister and myself to be evacuated to South Africa, due to the deposit that he made there. My father deposited the fund with the A Security Company here in Johannesburg, South Africa, He has already written a WILL, which stated thus" ONE OF MY FOREIGN PARTNERS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE FUND AND MY FAMILY AS WELL". During the war in my!
country, and following the indiscriminate looking of the public and government properties by the rebels' forces, the Sierra-Leone Mining Cooperation. Was one of the targets looted and destroyed. My father including other top government functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels in November 1999 because of the relationship with the civilian president Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a result of my father's death, and with the news of my uncle's involvement in air crash in January, dashed our hope of survival. The untimely deaths caused my mother heart failure and other related complications, of which she later died in Johannesburg Hospital after we must have spent a lot of money on her. Now, my 16 years old sister and I are alone in this strange country suffering without any care or help. Without any relation, we are now like refugees and orphans.
