Dear,
The inspiration to contact you is simply divine providence, I am making
this proposition because I have to seek the partnership of a resource person
to help me realize this project. I am Arthur Barnes, (Esq.). A solicitor
and investment consultant based in London, United Kingdom.
I was attending a business lunche on in Berlin, Germany and I got introduced
to the renowned German businessman and property mogul, Mr.Andreas Schranner
(of the blessed memory).
He engaged my services as attorney and investment consultant and my primary
assignment was to spearhead his investment forays in the United Kingdom.
Three months later I invited him to London and under my professional guidance
and based on my advice he made a fixed deposit of 26,500,000,00 million
pounds sterling at a financial institution. This deposit was for 2years
and upon maturity I made effort to contact my client, I could not reach
him or any member of his family. I was forced
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;

I have made efforts to locate any member of his family since then with strong
biological links to my late client without success. The search to find a
close relation is one that has consumed time and resources.
The institution is asking me to either present a next of kin to late Mr.Andreas
Schranner or forfeit the deposit.
My proposal is to package, present you as next of kin to late Mr. Andreas
Schranner and processes the fixed deposit and transfer custody to you for
our mutual benefit.
My capacity as solicitor/investment consultant to my late client gives me
the discretion to package and transfer the deposit to you. I will give you
40% for your effort, 60% for me it will amount to injustice if I do not
take this decisive step to secure this deposit, and invest it. The late
schranner was also a friend in addition to our business relationship. I
will wait for your reaction and response and then together we can jumpstart
this project and nurture it to reality.
You can send your reply to this email address only: a_barnes1@yahoo.com
I await your response
Arthur Barnes (ESQ)
