FROM THE DESK OF:
MRS JULLIET ABRAMS
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
HEADQUARTERS
COTONOU
REPUBLIC BENIN.
I am Mrs Julliet Ugo Abrams, 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
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.
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 Schranner so that the fruits of
this old man's labor will not get into the hands of
some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I
will like you to provide immediately your full names
and address,phone and fax numbers so that
the attorney will prepare the necessary documents and
affidavits that will put you in place as the next of
kin or business partner. I have two of my colleagues
who are top 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-scene 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.
Mrs Julliet Abrams
