Subject: From Mr.Peter Edward
FROM THE DESK OF:
MR.PETER EDWARD
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
HEADQUARTERS COTONOU REPUBLIC BENIN.
I am Mr.Peter Edward, credit officer of African Development Bank. I have an
urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. In June, 1999, a
German property consultant and importer of used cars ,Mr Andreas Schranner
made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at
US$35,000,000.00(Thirty five Million United States Dollars only) in my
branch.
It was to our utter suprise that we heard of his death, wife and children in
an AF4590 plane crash in July 2000. See website below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm On further
investigation,I found out that he died without making a WILL, and hitherto,
all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. Mr Andreas Schranner
was residing at No 1 Rue de Avenida, G.R.A. Cotonou, Benin Republic. I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr Andreas
Schranner did not declare any kin or relations in all his official
documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
US$35,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Ass 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. Consequently, my proposal is that
I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin or business
partner to Mr Andreas Goatfucker so that the fruits of this old man's labor
will not get into the mouths of some corrupt government officials. This is
simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and
address,phone and telephax numbers so that the attorney will prepare the
necessary documents to scam you and affidavits that will put you in place as
the next of kin or a scam victim. I have two of my colleagues who are on top
of me officials of the bank involved in this transaction. Your role in the
transaction is to send an application for claim of the funds to our bank.
Then, as top officials of the bank, we shall work behind-the-anus to make
sure that your application is approved by the management of the bank, and
the funds transfered to your nominated bank account. Please note that there
is no iota of risks at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done legitimately and with our positions as top officials of the bank would
ensure a successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested,
please reply immediately to my email box.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication. You should observe utmost CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY in this
transaction, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable
for both of us because I will require your assistance to invest my share in
your country. I look forward to your prompt response.
Thanks and regards.
Mr.Peter Edward.
