Subject: Funds Transfer
Dear Partner,
My name is Mr. Ruben Chizea Naicker, resident at
Sandton suburb of Johannesburg South Africa. The
inspiration to contact you is divine; after years of
seeking partnership of a resource person to help me
realize a project. I am a Swazi, a small kingdom
within the South African sub-region; I was an
investment attorney/consultant to Mr. Andreas
Schranner, a German businessman with vast interest in
properties. I met him in Manzini while on a trip with
some German business leaders on a visit to the palace
of His majesty King Mswati III in summer of 1999. He
developed a special interest in property market and
development in the Kingdom of Swaziland and sorts my
services as a consultant; my primary assignment was to
spearhead his investment forays in the kingdom. Three
months after our initial meeting (i.e. January 2000)
Mr. Andreas returned back and we met in Johannesburg
where he deposited the sum of ($25Million USD)Twenty
Five Million Dollars cash in a special vault with one
of the South African leading commercial bank, I
witnessed the reference to the deposit but the column
for the next of kin was left open, the money was
earmarked for a resort and casino development in
Mbabane capital of Swaziland, While we were
formalizing the process for the acquisition of the
property, Mr. Andreas Schranner handed over to me a
copy of the deposit document while attended a wedding
of the daughter of a very close Spanish associate in
Cape Town South Africa, he called to inform me that he
returning to Berlin and we scheduled to meet after a
month in London after a family holiday trip to New
York and that was the last I heard from him, I made
all effort to contact him after about seven weeks but
when I could not reach him, I had to travel to Germany
and there I got the tragic news that on July 25 2000,
my client Mr. Andreas Schranner, his wife Maria, their
daughter Eich and husband Christian and their two
children perished in the air France Concorde New York
bound flight; please refer and visit the following
internet link.

I have made efforts to locate any member of his family
with strong biological links to my late client without
success. The search has consumed time and resources
and the bank does not even know that the depositor is
since deceased and will not release the money to
anybody unless I presents his last WILL where it is
stated so with the evidence that Mr. Schranner is
late, I the issue now is that I have to either present
a next of kin as his attorney or forfeit the deposit
as I cannot claim it either. So I seek your consent
for a confidential co-operation with me so that I can
present you as the next-of-kin to my client, the money
will be released to you as the beneficiary. Note that
this transaction is simple and risk free because as a
lawyer I will provide you with expert legal services,
documentations and transaction codes that will
guarantee the successful execution of this deal. All I
require is your honesty and serious co-operation to
enable us see the deal through. I guarantee you that
this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law.
I will be willing to negotiate a sharing pattern if
you wish to assist in this. You will agree with me
that it is a better judgment for us to repatriate this
money to your country and put into profitable/peaceful
use than allowing it to be confiscated and divided
amongst the corrupt South African bankers. If you are
capable of handling this transaction, please reply
STRICTLY via this email address: your full names
and telephone number and an address to enable us
discuss and proceed accordingly, do not bother to
respond if you are not interested and keep it to
yourself.
Thanks
Ruben
