ASB BANK LONDON

England.
Hello Sir,
I am kent williams, head of group risk, ASB Bank
London, England.
On Monday, 31 July, 2000, one Andreas Schranner, a
German National, a property magnate, made a numbered
time (Fixed) Deposit, valued at
£7,550,000.00 (Seven Million,Five Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Pounds) for twelve calender months in my Bank
Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we
sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
company that Mr. Andreas Schranner was aboard the
AF4590 plane, which crashed Monday, 31 July, 2000 into
the Hotelissimo.
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm).
After further investigation, it was discovered that
he died without making a WILL and all attempts to
trace his next of kin proved fruitless.
On further investigation, it was discovered that Late
Mr. Andreas Schranner did not declare any next of kin
or relatives in all his official documents, including
his Bank Deposit paper work here in our Bank. The
total sum, £7,550,000.00 is still in my bank and the
interest is being rolled over with the principal sum
at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward
to claim it.Therefore,I want you to cooperate with me to
make this deal a success in our favour before the Bank
notices and revert it to government coffers.
Consequently, I shall present you as a foreign partner
to stand in as the next of kin to the late Mr. Andreas
Schranner. Upon acceptance of this proposal, I shall send
to you
the ASB Bank "Next of Kin Payment Application Form" as
well as detailed information on how this deal would be
carried out.
We shall employ the services of a solicitor for the
drafting of theLAST WILL & TESTAMENT of Late Mr.
Andreas Schranner and to obtain all other relevant
papers in your name for the necessary documentation
for payment approval in my bank headquarters in your
favour.
The money will be shared in the ratio: Sixty percent
for me, thirty five percent for you and five percent
for any arising contigencies during the course of this
transaction.I guarantee that this will be executed
under legitimate arrangement that will protect you
from any breach of the law as I will use my position
as the Bank's head of group risk to secure approvals
and guarantee the successful execution of this
transaction.
Please be informed that your utmost confidentiality is
required. If this interests you, reply via my private
email kentwilliams44@jmail.co.za and include your
private
telephone/fax
number.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Thanks.
Kent Williams.
